How long will it take for the testing center to issue my test results?

The Washington State Department of Licensing has contracted with PSI to administer the real estate broker licensing examination.

Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, so the amount of advance time necessary depends on the number of candidates choosing the same day and time. Depending on availability, your test could be scheduled as early as the next testing day.

The fee for the exam is $138.25, whether you are taking only the state law portion or both parts of the exam. The registration fees are not refundable nor are they transferable. Keep in mind that if you need to retake the exam or a portion of the exam you will need to pay the fee again.

PSI accepts major credit cards, including VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. You can also pay by cashier’s check or money order made payable to PSI. Cash is not an acceptable method of payment. You will need to pay for your exam when you schedule it.

You will be provided with a pencil and piece of scratch paper to use by the test center when you check in. You must return the paper to the test supervisor after you have finished the exam in order to receive your score report. No other notes, papers or documents are allowed into the test center.

For questions or requests for more information about the exam itself, you can refer to the Washington Real Estate Examination Program Handbook or you can contact PSI directly at 855-746-8168 or online at PSI website.

PSI test centers are continuously monitored by video and audio surveillance equipment for security purposes. All applicants must adhere to specific requirements when taking the exam.

Causing disturbance, displaying abusive behavior, refusing to cooperate and much more are considered acts of misconduct. If you were to engage in any activities considered to be acts of misconduct during your exam, you may be dismissed, in which case your score will not be recorded and your exam fee will be forfeited.

You should not take any personal items into the testing center, other than your keys and wallet. You will be provided with a pencil and scrap paper at check-in, which must be returned.

Eating and drinking is prohibited in the test center, as is smoking. You may take a break if needed, but no time will be added to make up for time lost during breaks.

Calculators brought to the test center must not be programmable. They must be silent and battery operated. The calculator’s keyboard cannot contain the alphabet nor may it have paper-tape printing capabilities.

You should arrive no later than your test time. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your scheduled exam, you will not be admitted. Fees will be forfeited and you will need to re-register and pay the fees for a new exam appointment.

Yes, but you will only need to take the Washington law portion of the exam. You will need to include your certified license history when submitting your application. You can usually avoid the pre-licensure education requirement providing a proof of successful completion of the same or similar education elsewhere.

The report will include scoring information for any portion that you failed. You must pass both sections before you can apply for your broker license.

If you failed one or both portions of the broker licensing exam, your score and reapplication instructions will be included in your score report. You will need to re-register for the exam and pay the exam fee again. You can do so by going to http://schedule.psiexams.com or by calling 855-746-8168.
