 Applicants
for a Florida real estate license will take their examination
on Pearson VUE'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.
