How long does it take to register and schedule my MT license exam?

While you won't need proof of education to schedule the exam or take the test, the course will prepare you to successfully pass the exam and start your real estate career. You'll also need the pre-license course certificate for your application.

Your course completion certificate is valid for two years. You'll need to submit your real estate license application within that time frame, so ideally, you would take the exam soon after finishing the course. The earlier you take the test, the fresher the information will be in your mind.
