FAQs

When do I receive my final exam results?

When taking your exam online, you’ll receive your score instantly upon clicking the submit button. If you fail, you may retake the exam until you pass it so long as you are within your one-year enrollment period. On passing the exam, you may print your Certificates of Completion from your printer, then and at any later time.

It is then your responsibility to inform the DRE of the completion of your required courses.

What if I don’t pass the final exam?

If you do not pass the exam on your first attempt, you may retake the exam as often as necessary to pass it so long as you are within your one-year enrollment period.
How much time am I given to take the exam?

You’re given 2-1/2 hours to complete each exam.

What is the minimum passing grade on the exam?

You must correctly answer at least 60% of the questions to pass the exam.

What type of questions are on the exam?

The final exam for each course consists of 100 multiple choice questions. The wording for the questions is taken straight from the reading material.

Can I use the reading material while taking the exam?

Yes. It is an open book exam. You may look up the answers to your exam questions in your reading materials. The questions are taken from the reading material in chronological order.

How long does it take to finish a course?

Each course you enroll in has its own separate 2-1/2 week study period. The 2-1/2 week study period for the first course you wish to test on begins to run on the day after the date of your enrollment. The separate 2-1/2 week study period for each of the second, third, etc., courses follow in consecutive order before these exams can be taken. This is a DRE policy, not ours. The dates when you can first take an exam are posted on your student homepage after logging in at our website.

No course is the “easiest” course. The number of pages of reading material for each course is the same – 450 pages as mandated by the DRE. All reading materials present as many examples as possible to best illustrate each point made.
