Proctored Final Exam: The Texas Real Estate Commission requires a proctored final exam for your licensing course. You will need to arrange for a proctor, who is someone who will make sure you take the test without outside assistance. Your exam must be proctored by a disinterested third party (at least 18 years of age) with no financial or emotional interest in your passing the exam. Your supervisor, a subordinate, or a family member may not serve as your exam proctor. If you are unable to secure a disinterested third party to proctor your final exam, Kaplan offers Virtual Classroom Proctoring for a $29-per-session fee.

Key Points:

• Covers content required by TREC.
• Updated Texas laws and TREC forms and rules incorporated into the course.
• Other material includes updated National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) Code of Ethics and updated Texas Occupations Code.
