Topics Covered on the Georgia Salesperson Supplement Exam

The exam tests three topic areas. Study time should mirror how heavily each area is weighted.

1. Real Estate Practice in Georgia — 21 questions (heaviest weight)

This is the largest section. Expect questions on:
- Real Estate Practice — day-to-day brokerage operations under Georgia law
- Sales Contracts — Georgia-specific contract requirements and timelines
- Listings and Agency — disclosure obligations, agency relationships, and duties
- Property Management — licensing requirements for managing rental properties
- Community Association Management — rules specific to HOA and condo management

2. State Laws and Rules — 16 questions

Georgia statute and Commission rules, including:
- Unfair Practices — prohibited conduct and disciplinary actions
- Substantive Regulations — trust account rules, advertising standards, and more
- Qualifications and Fees — licensing requirements, renewal, and fees
- Fair Housing Laws — Georgia and federal fair housing requirements
- Real Estate Education, Research and Recovery Fund — how it works, limits, and claims

3. Finance and Closing — 15 questions

• Finance — mortgage basics, loan types, and Georgia-specific financing rules

Prioritize Real Estate Practice in Georgia (21 questions) and State Laws and Rules (16 questions) — together they make up more than 70% of your score.

What Types of Questions to Expect

Here's a breakdown of the kinds of problems you'll encounter, plus the practice questions we offer for each area:

Real Estate Practice in Georgia — 129 practice questions
Expect scenario-based questions: a salesperson in mid-transfer, a broker juggling property management duties, or a community association manager navigating her license obligations. You need to know Georgia-specific procedures cold — not general principles, but exact rules.

State Laws and Rules — 100 practice questions
These questions test statutory knowledge directly. Trust account timing, Recovery Fund caps, fair housing violations, disciplinary procedures — the exam expects you to know the Georgia statutes and Commission rules, not just concepts. Questions 2 and 3 above are good examples of this style.

Finance and Closing — 114 practice questions
Look for questions on closing timelines, loan type distinctions, and Georgia-specific closing procedures. Some questions will give you a scenario and ask what happens next; others test whether you know a specific dollar limit or deadline.

In total, we offer 343 practice questions across all three topic areas — more than enough to get comfortable with every concept the exam tests.

Study Materials

The primary sources for this exam are the actual Georgia statutes and Commission rules — not a textbook.

Required reading:
- Georgia O.C.G.A. Title 43, Ch. 40 — This is the Georgia Real Estate License Law. Read it. Know it. Sections on trust accounts, license requirements, and disciplinary actions appear directly on the exam.
- Department 520 Georgia Real Estate Commission Rules — The Commission's administrative rules fill in the gaps the statute doesn't cover. Trust account procedures and advertising standards live here.

You'll spend a lot of time with printed materials, and these two tools make that easier:

• Sharpie Highlighters — Color-code by topic area. Yellow for State Laws, green for Finance rules, pink for Practice requirements. When you're reviewing the night before, you'll find what you need in seconds.
• Redi-Tag Permanent White Tabs — Tab your printed statute and rule documents by section. These tabs are durable, printable, and stay put. Being able to flip directly to the trust account section or the Recovery Fund provision is a real time-saver during review.

Combine these printed resources with our Georgia RE practice exam and you'll have everything you need.

Study Tips for the Georgia Salesperson Supplement Exam

Skim answer choices first. Before you commit to reading a question in detail, scan the four options. The vocabulary in the answers often signals what concept is being tested — and if you know that concept, the correct wording jumps out fast.

Practice under a real clock. You have 120 minutes for 52 questions — that's generous, but anxiety can eat that time fast. Use timed practice sessions so the pacing feels routine by test day. The goal is to move steadily and never get stuck on a single question.

Trust your first instinct — but update when you have a real reason. If you re-read a question and realize you misread it, change your answer. If a later question triggered a genuine memory, change it. What you want to avoid is second-guessing from pure nerves. Considered changes help; reflexive ones don't.

Focus on Georgia-specific rules. This exam doesn't test general real estate principles — it tests Georgia law. If you're comparing two answers and one reflects a general industry norm while the other reflects a specific Georgia statute, go with the statute.
