  • To register for a student ID# go to PSI Student ID Registration. Once issued, email your assigned student ID# to Support@SureWinCE.com.
  • Once Sure Win reports the completions, it takes 1 to 2 business days to process through their system to be able to schedule.
  • The current cost to take the exam is $55.
  • View/download a PSI Illinois Candidate Handbook here or an e-version is online in the Sure Win courses.
• Upon payment of all fees and successful completion of ALL the required coursework and class time (if applicable), a school transcript is emailed to you.
  • Keep this as it is needed when applying for the license after passing the state exam.
  • The transcript is not needed to schedule or take the state exam.
• Upon payment of all fees and successful completion of ALL the required coursework and exams, students who have completed the entire Sure Win 45-hour Managing Broker Licensing education program receive a license key to access the full version, with simulations, of the exam prep online program from ExamSmart FREE (regularly $49), to further help you prepare for the State exam.

STATE EXAM AND MOVING FORWARD

• The state exam consists of 2 exams; National Topics and State Topics.
  • The National Topics test is 90 multiple choice questions.
  • The State Topics test is 40 multiple choice questions.
  • You take both with the national exam first then the state exam.
  • You need to pass each separately with a score of 75% or better.
  • You have 2 years after completing the education and 4 tries to pass them.
  • If you pass one test and not the other, only the one failed needs to be taken again.
  • If you fail either or both tests 4 times, you need to complete the Managing Broker License education over again to get 4 more tries.
• Once you pass the state exam you receive a pass report, not a license.
  • Within 1 year of passing the exam, you need to apply for your Managing Broker License.
  • You can apply for your license without being sponsored. Illinois no longer requires association/sponsorship with a sponsoring broker to get or keep a real estate license. Your license will be “Inactive” meaning you CANNOT do any licensed activities or receive any referral fees. 
  • The cost for the license application is $150 plus $25 for a sponsor card (if needed).
