Registering for the Exam

Most applicants register online, but you may also register by phone or mail.  You can make an exam reservation by calling the testing service—AMP—toll-free at (800) 345-6559.  You may make your reservation online at www.goamp.com.  The reservation must be made at least one business day in advance of your test date.

AMP Customer Care is open for reservations six days a week, on the schedule shown below (Pacific Time):

Call toll-free at (800) 345-6559.

Reservations are made according to the test site's capacity and seating availability. AMP testing centers handle license applicants from a number of different fields and sometimes a testing center becomes congested. Two-week delays are not uncommon.

You'll find the school and course information (including course title, completion date, and school stamp number) in your Candidate Examination Document, which is the certification that you'll receive from your school when you've successfully completed your pre-license courses.

The Examination Fee

The exam fee is $138.25, regardless of whether you're taking the entire examination or just the Washington portion.  You must pay the exam fee when you register to take the exam, by credit card, debit card, cashier's check, money order, or personal check made payable to AMP.  Payment by cash is not accepted.

DON'T MISS YOUR EXAM DATE. If you don't appear at the scheduled time and date, fail to change your exam date within the guidelines set by AMP, or if you wish to reschedule more than once, your exam fee will not be refunded.

If you have to cancel or change my exam date: 

You may reschedule your examination appointment at no charge once online at www.goamp.com or by calling AMP at (800) 345-6559 at least one business day prior to the scheduled testing session.

The Examination Itself

You should bring all of the following:

¨ Stamped Candidate Examination Document

¨ Two pieces of signature-bearing I.D., one with a photo

¨ Ordinary calculator

During your examination process, you will be required to provide biometric verification of your identity. Biometric identification may include photography, fingerprint scan, or other. Your examination session is also subject to video surveillance. If you do not agree to these conditions, you will not be able to test and will be excused from the Assessment Center. Your examination fee will NOT be refunded.

You will take an electronic test that consists of 140 multiple-choice questions. The test is divided into two sections: 100 of the questions will make up the National portion of the exam; the remaining 30 questions pertain only to Washington. You must score a minimum of 70% on each section.

In addition, the National section and the Washington section of the exam will each include five "pretest" questions. This brings the total number of questions you will answer to 140. However, the pretest questions are included only for analysis by the testing service and do not affect your score. But you won't know which questions are in the pretest group, so you must answer every question to the best of your ability.

Each question on the examination is in a four-option, multiple-choice format with only one correct answer. Test scores are based on the number of questions answered correctly, so it is better to answer every question, even if you are guessing.

The test has two sections, a general portion and a Washington supplement.

Both the broker's exam and the managing broker's exam contain questions testing Washington real estate statutes and rules applicable to licensees. In addition, the managing broker's exam contains questions on real estate closing statements.

The exams also have ten pretest questions: five in the General section and five in the Washington section. These pretest questions are distributed randomly throughout the test and they are not identified as pretest questions, so you will have to answer every question. The pretest questions do not affect your score, however.

Your examination will be administered on a computer, which eliminates the use of paper and pencil answer sheets. The system records your responses and automatically times the examination.

You are allowed to change your answers, skip questions, and mark questions for later review. Knowledge of computers and typing are absolutely NOT required. You can take a brief tutorial before beginning your exam, but the system is so uncomplicated that you will understand it fully within a few minutes.

Your examination is scored immediately after you complete it. You leave the test center knowing whether you passed or failed.

You have three and a half hours. (The timer doesn't begin until you have answered your first question.) Typically an applicant will complete the exam somewhere between two and three hours.

Termination by School:  We reserve the right to terminate a student’s enrollment for non-payment of tuition and/or falsification of records.

Refund Policy:  A refund will be issued upon request, less a $25 processing fee, so long as the course is under 50% completed.
