Are the exam facilities open during CONID-19
Wondering the same thing
YES, they’re very strict with masks and jackets and sweaters.. all belongings are turned off and locked in a bag..they’ll even provide pencils and calculators and an amortization chart.
Timmy,
Thank you for the update on PSI policy. When we let everyone know how strict PSI testing centers are. I think students think we are crazy.
Are the exam facilities open during CONID-19
When are test restarting in Lawrence?
We have contacted both PSI and the board to asked when the testing centers will reopen. Right now there is no clear plan on when the testing centers will be reopen.
Tom we hope you have been able to schedule your exam. The testing centers re-opened the 2nd week of June. Many of our students have been having troubles getting anyone to answer their phone calls, so they have been scheduling the test by going to PSIExams.com. Good luck!
I have not had any success reaching someone since they have opened, I have been calling every week. I am not able to schedule online because it still says I need approval it doesn’t look like my application has been reviewed I’ve mailed and emailed my application. Not sure what to do.
Are tests currently being conducted at testing centers during the COVID-19 pandemic? I am looking to take the course, however I don’t want to take it with no possible test date available in the near future.
Thank you.
Timothy,
Hello! Yes, PSI test centers are still open.
Timothy,
Hello! So we didn’t answer your question earlier. We wanted to wait until remote testing became available. As of January 28th you are able to take the exam either remotely or at a physical location. Here’s a link to a blog post with a little more information on remote testing http://baystateacademy.net/realestatetraining/blog/2473/psi-remote-testing-massachusetts-real-estate-exam/
Do you know how long the wait time is to get a date to take the exam? I am wondering if its going to take several months?
Hello Santo! Once you finish the class you have to mail in your application. The application approval process is taking 4 to 6 weeks. Once your application has been approved you can schedule the test. Our students have been telling us they can schedule the test fairly quickly once they have received approval.
Santo,
The wait time in not the test dates, but the processing of the application. I hope you turned in your application already and have heard back. We were just told that it’s taking 2 to 3 months for the applications to be processed. PSI just started to offer remote testing, so you should have not issue finding a test date. You can know take it at a physical location or remotely from home. Here’s a link to our blog post for more information on remote testing, http://baystateacademy.net/realestatetraining/blog/2473/psi-remote-testing-massachusetts-real-estate-exam/
Hi Liz – My daughter sent her in paperwork weeks ago (November) and has not received the info she needs to verify completion of the class. Has sent emails and made phone calls only to put me on hold for hours so finally gave up. Who can she reach out to for help?
Hi Cathy! Have her txt me the name, date and how she sent in the paperwork (email/mail). She can txt me 508-581-0879,
I am scheduled to take the test at 55 Boston Providence Hwy
Norwood Massachusetts 02062 USA in a few days . I drove to the location and did not see a PSI sign. Do you know if this is a valid location?
Hello! The board has given PSI permission to use other PSI locations to provide the real estate exams. It may be a new location or they may just not have a sign on the door.
I took my exam online and passed the test. I was told that I would receive my license number immediately upon passing the test but I have not received anything. How can I obtain my license number?
are you able to share any more information about this location now that it’s been a few weeks? Is there a specific suite number to enter? Does this site license you on the spot if you pass the test, or is it ONLY to administer the test and if you pass, you have to go to one of the standard locations listed above (auburn, fall river, etc.) to get your license?
If I take my PSI test in Norwood and pass will you get your license on the spot at that location or do you have to drive to one of the above locations listed?
Great question Holly! You have to pay for your license at one of the five locations listed above.
