Can I schedule the Nevada exam without taking the pre-license course?

The state testing provider does not require proof of education, but it's still to your benefit to take the pre-licensing course before taking the state licensing exam. The pre-licensing course prepares you for the practice of real estate. Much of what is on the exam is based on what is taught during the course.

Nevada does not have a time restriction on when you complete the pre-license course to when you can schedule the Nevada exam. Still, it's a good idea to schedule your licensing exam as soon as possible while all of the information is fresh in your mind.
