Applicants for a Florida real estate license will take their examination on Promissor's EXPro Electronic Test Administration System. The machine is a "touch screen" computer. It looks somewhat like an "Etch-a-Sketch" and is very simple to use. Candidates do not need computer knowledge to take the exam. The tests are given at 15 locations around Florida. For test locations, click here.

Steps in the process:

• Candidate sends application to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR)
