Do I need to take the IL state exam if I’m licensed in another state?

No. The IREC’s testing vendor PSI requires you to register as a student before you finish the pre-license course. It must receive your course completion information from your real estate school in order to finish the exam scheduling process.

You have up to two years after finishing your pre-license education to schedule your Illinois State licensing exam.

The easiest way to schedule your state licensing exam is through online scheduling. Visit http://schedule.psiexams.com and follow the steps to register for your state exam. You can also register by calling 855-340-3893.

The IL broker exam fee is $58 paid directly to PSI.

You will directly pay PSI, the state’s exam provider, using a credit card. PSI accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover cards. You can also mail a check, money order, or cashier’s check. Payment must be received in advance of the exam.

Registering for the exam is easy and can be done within 30 minutes by visiting https://schedule.psiexams.com. Follow the step-by-step instructions to set up your account and find the next exam appointment available near you.

If you are licensed in another state, chances are you will still need to take the Illinois section of the state licensing exam. It all depends on if your state has reciprocity or not.

You can change or cancel your Illinois State licensing exam date by calling PSI at 855-340-3893. You need to do so 48 hours before your exam appointment, or you will forfeit your examination fee. Voice mails and emails do not count as canceling the state licensing exam.
