Once you complete the pre-license course, We will send notification of your completion electronically to the IDFPR. The license candidate must contact the testing company, (PSI) to schedule an examination appointment. Appointments for license testing can be made: online, by phone, by fax or by mail. AMP’s phone number is 1-800-345-6559.
The fee for the State Exam is $58.00. You’ll need to make sure you have two forms of identification–one MUST be a photo ID. A photograph and a fingerprint scan photograph will be taken at the testing site. You will need a calculator for the Exam. The testing Center does NOT provide a calculator and will NOT allow you to use your cell phone as a calculator for the test. Calculators cannot be programmable in any way and if they are AMP will NOT allow them to be used.
The State Exam is computer based. It is an all multiple choice exam and a passing grade is 75%. You will be given a notice of whether you passed or failed immediately.
I Love Real Estate School is an accredited Real Estate School by the State of Illinois. We teach Broker Pre-License, Post-License AND Managing Broker License Classes.
The Illinois State exam is comprised of the following:
- 105 multiple choice questions covering “National” topics
- 40 multiple choice questions covering “State” specific topics
- 5 multiple choice questions chosen at random and later discarded
- 150 total multiple choice questions
You have 2.5 hours total to complete the Exam.
You must score a minimum of 75% to pass each portion of the Exam. There are four outcomes when you take the Sate Exam. You can:
1)Pass the State and the National portion of the Exam
–You are eligible to get your license!
2)Pass the State and fail the National portion of the Exam
–You can re-take just the National (105 questions) portion
up to a year later
3)Pass the National and fail the State portion of the Exam
You can re-take just the State (40 questions) portion
up to a year later
4)Fail the State and the National portion of the Exam
You can re-take entire Exam (150 questions)
After passing the state exam you will need to become sponsored by a real estate managing broker within one year. Your managing broker will send the paperwork to the state (IDFPR) and issue you a 45-day permit—also called a Sponsor Card.
You will have 24-hours to apply for your License after receiving your Sponsor Card. That permit allows you to start practicing real estate immediately. Within 45 days, the State will send your license and pocket card to your home. You’ll bring the license to your managing broker to be displayed in the office and carry the pocket card whenever you’re practicing real estate.
The exam may be taken four times. The fee is the same for each time. If, for some reason, you don’t pass after the fourth attempt, you must retake the pre-license course.
All Brokers Licenses expire April 30 of each even numbered year. Licenses are renewed every two years and after the first renewal, you will be required to complete 12 hours of Continuing Education before you can renew.
You have up to 2 years to pass the State Exam after completing your Pre-License Class.
