1 of 10 - John completes the Salesperson Examination Application and submits it to the California Department of Real Estate. Driving home from work, he realizes he used his old address and not his new one on the application. What should he do?
Contact the DRE and tell the story of how he used the incorrect address and request his application sent back in order to make the change.
Once a completed Salesperson Examination Application is submitted to the DRE, no changes of any kind may be made to the application.
John may fill out the portion of the Salesperson Examination Application that needs changing and send it to the DRE. He must also submit in writing the situation and the reason for the alteration of the original application.
John can submit an Error Correction form by email.

4 of 10 - Marta and Sean acquire notes from a previous California State Licensing Exam through a friend.

6 of 10 - Lydia feared she did not pass the California State Licensing Exam AGAIN. As she nervously opened the envelope that held the results, what was the first clue to the outcome of her reexamination?
She received an actual score and nothing else, which meant, once again, she hadn't earned a passing score.
She did NOT receive an actual score this time in the mail. This means she finally passed the licensing exam, and her license application is included in the envelope.
She received a card that gave congratulations and telephone number with code to order her license.
Lydia passed. She received an application for her license along with the results of her examination.

Examination results are mailed to the applicant or the applicant can check the results through the eLicensing online system approximately 5 days after taking the exam. Examinees who pass and only applied to take the exam are not informed of their final score and will receive an application for license. Those who do not pass receive the actual exam score.

9 of 10 - Lydia applied for the salesperson examination in January 2014. She sat for the exam three times in 2014 and four times in 2015. Each time, Lydia did not receive a passing score. How many times may Lydia sit through the examination in 2016?
Lydia may re-take the exam as many times as it takes to earn a passing score in 2016.
Lydia may re-take the exam a maximum of three times in 2016. The total number of times she has taken the exam will then equal ten, the maximum allowed in a three-year period.
Lydia may re-take the examination as many times as it takes to earn a passing score, but her application will expire in January and she must reapply first.
Lydia may possibly want to reconsider her dream of becoming a California real estate agent.

10 of 10 - Sara waited and waited and waited for what she thought was a lifetime. Finally, Thursday morning the results of her California real estate examination arrived. What was the maximum length of "the lifetime" Sara waited and could she have gotten her results by another method?
Sara's lifetime wasn't too long. The results are normally mailed out in five days. She could have also received her results online through the eLicensing system and through the Interactive Voice Response system.
Sara was exaggerating her lifetime. The results are guaranteed to be in her hands in five days. She could have also received her results online through the eLicensing system and the Interactive Voice Response system.
Instead of waiting the five-plus days for the mailed results, Sara could have called the DRE, Sacramento Office, and received her results over the telephone. She could have also used the eLicensing system online to view her score.
Instead of waiting a "lifetime," Sara could have hastened the process using the online eLicensing and the Interactive Voice Response telephone system. This would have cut down on the usual wait time of thirty days.
