You will need two forms of identification with your signature on them, one of which must also have a photo. You will also need to bring your certification from your pre-license education class.  It is also helpful to bring your confirmation number, just in case there are any problems. The Florida Real Estate Sales Associate Exam contains 100 multiple-choice questions. 45 of the questions are on real estate principles and practices, 45 or on Florida and Federal laws, and 10 require you to complete real estate-related math calculations.  You must earn a score of 75 or better to pass the exam. You will receive an official score report that includes your photo as soon as you complete the exam. In the even that you need to retake the exam, you will need to wait at least 24 hours to reschedule and go through the same process (Pearson VUE's website or Customer Care call center) that you used to schedule the initial exam. Be sure to do allow time for additional studying before you retake the exam to improve your odds of success. In order to activate your license, you will need a signed statement verifying that you will be working under the guidance of a licensed broker. This broker can be independent, or a member of a large real estate firm.  The broker’s job is to mentor you as a salesperson, and she will bear responsibility for any mistakes that you make. In exchange, you pay the broker either a monthly fee or a set part of your commission.  You can begin looking for a broker to sponsor you at any time during the licensing process. Be sure to interview with a number of different brokers before making a selection, as different brokers have different fee schedules, and provide different services. Most real estate brokerages are always looking for new salespersons.  Begin by calling brokerages in your area (think about which signs you typically see up at homes you’d be interested in selling,) and go from there. After you pass your exam, your license must be activated through a Florida licensed real estate broker or owner/developer.  The broker can do this by submitting the DBPR RE 11 form to confirm that you have been added as an employee.  Once this is done, you can launch your real estate career!
