Georgia Broker Supplement Examination

Georgia Broker Supplement Examination: Complete 2026 Prep Guide

You've already earned your Florida real estate license — now you want to work in Georgia too. The Georgia Broker Supplement Examination is the one step standing between you and that second state license. It's a focused, 48-question test on Georgia-specific law and broker management practices. Pass it, and you're ready to operate as a broker in one of the Southeast's fastest-growing real estate markets. This guide covers everything you need to know: exam structure, topic breakdown, sample questions, study tips, and where to find the best prep resources for your Georgia broker exam prep.

Georgia Broker Supplement Exam Overview

The exam is administered by PSI and consists of 48 scored questions completed in 120 minutes. You need a score of at least 75% — that's 36 correct answers — to pass.

Here's how the 48 scored items break down by topic:
- State Laws and Rules: 31 items
- Management: 12 items
- Closing and Calculations: 5 items

One important heads-up: the exam may also include 5 to 10 unscored experimental questions that won't count toward your score but will count against your time. You won't know which questions are experimental, so treat every question the same.

The exam is computer-based and delivered at PSI testing centers. You'll get your score on screen the moment you finish — no waiting by the mailbox. Review the official exam bulletin and the state licensing website for the most current requirements.

Topics Covered on the GA Real Estate Exam (Broker Supplement)

State Laws and Rules (31 Questions)

This is the heaviest section — nearly two-thirds of your scored questions. It covers:
- Unfair Practices: Fair housing, prohibited conduct, and discrimination scenarios
- Trust Accounts: Proper handling, commingling rules, and recordkeeping
- Substantive Regulations: License law specifics unique to Georgia
- Real Estate Practice in Georgia: Day-to-day practice rules under Georgia law
- Qualifications and Fees: Licensing requirements, continuing education, and fee structures

Because this section dominates the exam, it deserves the bulk of your study time.

Management (12 Questions)

This section tests your readiness to run a real estate firm:
- License Law & Supervision: Qualifying broker responsibilities and oversight duties
- Licensee Oversight: Training, mentoring, and supervising sales associates
- Independent Contractor Agreements: Drafting and managing compliant agreements
- Record Keeping: Transaction files, trust account records, and rejected offers
- Trust Account & Financial Management: Financial controls at the firm level

Closing and Calculations (5 Questions)

Though small in count, this section requires accuracy. Expect math-based questions on closing costs, prorations, and transaction calculations.

Sample Questions

Here are two real examples of the types of questions you'll see on the Georgia Broker Supplement Exam. Read them carefully — then head over to take a free practice exam to see how you do.

Question 1 (Management — Hard)

You are a qualifying broker for a real estate firm that operates as a corporation. A newly licensed salesperson asks who is permitted to serve as the qualifying broker in this type of business entity. What is the correct answer?

• A) Any licensed broker employed by the corporation
• B) Only a shareholder who owns at least 20 percent of the corporation
• C) An officer of the corporation who is licensed as a broker
• D) The corporation's legal counsel, if licensed as a broker

Question 2 (Management — Easy)

How many members compose the Georgia Real Estate Commission?

• A) Four members
• B) Five members
• C) Six members
• D) Seven members

Do you know the answers? Don't guess — test yourself with our free practice exam and find out immediately. The free version gives you 10 questions per attempt with no account or payment required. It's a great way to get a feel for the format and identify gaps before you commit to serious prep.

What Types of Questions to Expect

Our full practice bank contains 400 questions across all three topic areas. Here's what you'll actually be tested on in each:

State Laws and Rules — 229 practice questions
These questions test your working knowledge of Georgia-specific law. Expect scenarios involving trust account violations, fair housing complaints, license suspension and revocation proceedings, qualifying broker requirements, and the rules governing advertising and agency disclosure in Georgia. Some questions present fact patterns where you must identify what a licensee did wrong — and what the correct action should have been.

Management — 76 practice questions
These questions go beyond knowing the rules — they test your judgment as a broker-in-charge. You'll see questions on supervising sales associates, handling independent contractor agreements, maintaining required records, and managing trust accounts at the firm level. The hard sample question above is a good example: management questions often hinge on specific Georgia statutory definitions that don't always match common assumptions.

Closing and Calculations — 95 practice questions
This section is math-heavy. Questions cover proration of taxes and rent, closing cost calculations, commission splits, and other transaction-related arithmetic. The good news: an on-screen calculator is provided during the actual exam. Practice using one so it feels natural under pressure.

Study Materials

Highlighters Matter More Than You Think

For state law exams like this one, active reading is essential. If you're working from printed materials or a physical reference guide, color-coding by topic is one of the fastest ways to lock in information — and to relocate it quickly during a review session.

The Sharpie Tank Highlighters are a solid choice. The 12-pack includes fluorescent yellow, pink, green, orange, lavender, and blue — enough to assign a separate color to each major topic area. The wide barrel holds a large ink supply, the narrow chisel tip works for both broad highlights and underlining, and the ink resists smearing once dry. Small detail, real difference when you're marking up 30+ pages of Georgia license law.

Official Exam Resources
Always start with the official exam bulletin. It contains the exact topic outline PSI uses to build the exam — treat it as your syllabus. Pair that with any Georgia Real Estate Commission materials available through the state licensing website.

Our Full Practice Exam
Once you've done your reading, shift to active testing. Our full practice exam matches the real exam exactly: 48 questions, 120-minute time limit, and the same three-topic breakdown. Questions are drawn from a large pool so each attempt is unique. You also get a detailed score breakdown by topic, which is the fastest way to find out exactly where to focus your final review.

Study Tips for the Georgia Broker Supplement Exam

Simulate Real Test Conditions
Our practice exam is built to mirror the actual PSI testing environment. Timed PDF guides are useful for building knowledge, but they won't prepare you for the time pressure of a live exam. Practice under the same constraints — 120 minutes, 48 questions, no pausing — and the real thing will feel familiar.

Know Your Georgia-Specific Rules Cold
This exam tests Georgia law, not general real estate principles. The qualifying broker rules, trust account requirements, and commission composition questions all have very specific answers defined by Georgia statute. Don't rely on what you learned for Florida — look up the Georgia version of each rule.

For Closing Calculations: Show Your Work
Even on a computer exam, scratch paper helps. Write out your calculation steps so you can catch arithmetic errors before submitting. With only 5 calculation questions on the scored exam, each one counts.

Don't Ignore the Small Sections
Management (12 questions) and Closing (5 questions) together account for 17 scored items — more than a third of what you need to pass. Neglecting them to focus entirely on State Laws is a common mistake.

Who is eligible to take the Georgia Broker Supplement Examination?

What ID do I need to bring?
Bring one valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID that includes your signature and matches the name you used when scheduling. A state driver's license, U.S. passport, U.S. military ID, or U.S. Alien Registration Card are all acceptable.

Are calculators or reference materials allowed?
No personal reference materials of any kind are permitted. PSI provides an on-screen calculator — you don't need to bring one. Personal handheld calculators and all other electronic devices are prohibited.

How do I cancel or reschedule my appointment?
You can cancel or reschedule without losing your fee if PSI receives your notice at least 2 days before your scheduled exam date. Use the exam registration page or call (888) 818-5834.
