Pearson VUE manages Florida real estate exam scheduling once the DBPR issues your Authorization to Test (ATT). The quickest path to an exam date is having your application, education, and fingerprints completed so your ATT arrives without delays.
If you still need to finish pre-licensing, enroll in Casa Academy’s Florida course to stay on track.

Authorization to Test: the required starting point
You cannot schedule the state exam until the DBPR approves your application and sends an Authorization to Test. Pearson VUE uses your ATT eligibility to unlock scheduling, so confirm your ATT email or portal notice before you try to book.
Common reasons your ATT is delayed:
- Incomplete DBPR RE 1 application details.
- Missing or late Livescan fingerprint submission.
- Education records not yet reported by your school.
How to schedule your Pearson VUE exam
Step 1: Create or confirm your Pearson VUE account
Use the same legal name you provided to the DBPR. Mismatched names or emails can slow down scheduling and test day check-in.
Step 2: Locate your ATT eligibility
Once your ATT is issued, Pearson VUE should show Florida real estate exam eligibility in your account. If you do not see eligibility, wait for the DBPR confirmation or contact support.
Step 3: Pick a test center and date
Choose the nearest Florida test center and an appointment time that gives you a buffer for travel and check-in. Seats can fill quickly, so book as soon as your ATT is active.
Scheduling checklist:
- Confirm ATT approval before booking.
- Match your legal name exactly to your ID.
- Select a test center with reliable travel time.
- Review reschedule and cancellation windows.
Pearson VUE test center basics
Plan to arrive early with your required identification. Pearson VUE test centers use secure check-in procedures, and late arrivals can forfeit your appointment.
Bring to the test center:
- A valid government-issued photo ID that matches your ATT.
- Your Pearson VUE confirmation details.
- Any required admission documents listed in your confirmation email.
Rescheduling and cancellation tips
Pearson VUE policies can change, so always review the current reschedule and cancellation window in your confirmation email. Make changes early to avoid losing fees or eligibility.
