You can take online classes. I am in California and you have to have 3 classes from an accredited school in order to be a real estate agent. Once you've completed those classes, you can take the exam. |

Not in Arizona. You must pass the school's test first, then take the State's test. Period.
What state are you in?
BTW: What on earth would motivate you to get a license in the current market? |

In almost all jurisdictions in the US, you need the credit - hours AND the exam.
They do that because because there are too many legal and economic transactions that are needed to be made in selling a property; and there are also too many people trying to run scams and frauds schemes.
If you want to have some credibility in the real estate business better take the class. Beside, what you will learn there might save you from some legal mistakes that might get you a civil sue or criminal charges if you fail meet legal requirements (Arguing "I didn't know that...becuase I never went to realtor school !" will not save you from jail). |

Where I live you have to take the class. After you finish a valid class the instructor send into the exam company that you did the class and only then are you even allowed to sit for the exam, so you really do have to take the class first. The only exception is if you have a license in one state and want one in another nearby state, some states allow reciprocity where you can get the license in the second state without the class. You will have to sit for and pass the state portion of the exam in the second state, so you can sit for this exam without taking any classes (but you will have to provide proof of being licensed in the first state). |

there are some states that do not require you to attend a real estate school in order to take the exam. Check with your real estate examination board to see what are their requirements. But it would be easier to just take an online course to help you pass the exam, unless you're a real estate paralegal or attorney, of course. |

In Texas, you must complete all required hours before applying for a license. After that you receive a permission to take the test. you must also pass criminal record screening and complete FBI fingerprinting . |

NOPE ... You will NOT be able to pass the real estate liscensing class without some type of study .....
There may be an online course ; BUT you should check with your local board of realtors to see if it is even reputable and reconized in your area ....
Other than that ; some real estate offices offer a short realtor's course .... call around .... sometimes they are FREE if you agree to work with their office for a year or so .... |

If you do not take the classes, you will not pass. |
