Upon successful completion of all six courses, you will be given access to Exam Prep which is included in your tuition fee. Exam Prep consists of several general and state specific review exams and two final summary review exams of 70-80 questions covering both the general and state specific parts of the Colorado broker exam.

You will not be able to make an appointment to take the state exam until you have passed the two summary review exams. Once both summary review exams are passed, VanEd will send an electronic notification to PSI, the testing company, that you are eligible to make an appointment. Once both portions of the state exam are passed, PSI will notify the Colorado Real Estate Commission that you have completed your education, passed the Colorado broker exam, and are eligible to apply for your associate broker's license. The exam fee of $71 must be paid at the time you call PSI and make a reservation to take the Colorado broker exam.

Be prepared to use the calculator program on the computer at the test center when you take the state exam. You will NOT be permitted to take a handheld calculator into the test site. If you feel you are weak in math make sure you read and do all the problems in Real Estate Exam Guide, Chapter 8, over and over until you feel comfortable with the formulas.

When you enroll and login to Real Estate pre- licensing, click on the Candidate Handbook link found on the left side of the main page under "Home Menu." The booklet provides complete instructions regarding the state exam, including how to make an appointment, what you are permitted to take (and not take) into the test center, and how you will be scored. At the test center you will be given a 15-minute tutorial on using the test program.

The general or uniform portion of the state exam covers real estate law and practice that is common to most states. When you click on the Candidate Handbook link, open the General Content Outline for a breakdown of what is covered on this portion of the exam. You will be given two hours to complete the general portion of the Colorado broker exam.

The second part of the Colorado broker exam is specific to Colorado real estate rules, regulations and contracts. Click on Candidate Handbook and open the State Law Content Outline to find out what is included on the state specific portion of the broker exam. You will be given one hundred ten minutes (110) to complete this portion of the exam.
