How to Get Your Real Estate License After Completing a 60-Hour Course: The $275 Retake Program

Booking the PSI exam straight after your 60-hour course feels logical. Yet a review plan tells you what to study and when, and an exam date alone does not. 

This guide shows you how to get your real estate license in Connecticut after a course at another school, using a live Zoom review at Capital Real Estate School.

You will learn which documents to gather, how your exam timeline works, and how to enroll in the $275 Retake Program.

Students who finished a 60-hour course elsewhere can join the $275 Retake Program with a valid completion receipt and review the full PSI content live on Zoom.

What You Need Before You Start

Your completion receipt and a clear exam timeline prepare you to enroll with confidence.

Documents and Eligibility to Confirm

First, gather the valid course completion receipt from the school that taught your 60-hour course. Capital Real Estate School requires it to enroll you in the $275 Retake Program.

Next, collect any other completion paperwork your original school issued. 

“The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection exam application is for individuals who have taken a Connecticut-approved 60-hour Principles and Practices course.”

The receipt confirms your eligibility for this program, while your course paperwork supports your state application. One does not replace the other.

Then keep everything together before you call, and ask the CRES Team how your situation fits the program.

Step-by-Step: How to Get Your Real Estate License Through a Retake Review

Four steps take you from your finished course to a focused PSI review.

To move from a finished 60-hour course to exam day, confirm your completion documents, check your exam eligibility window, review the full PSI content, and enroll in the $275 Retake Program. 

Capital Real Estate School’s program reviews both the National portion and the State Law portion in live Zoom sessions.

Step 1: Confirm Your Course Completion Documents

• Start by collecting your receipt and your completion paperwork from your original school.

• Check that your name and course dates match on every document.

• Request duplicates today if anything is missing, so paperwork never delays your enrollment.

Step 2: Check Your Exam Eligibility Window

Connecticut candidates have a limited eligibility window to pass both exam portions, so confirm your exact dates with DCP and PSI before you plan your review.

“PSI, the exam administrator, sets its own fees, and the Connecticut DCP exam application states that the examination fee comes due when you schedule.” 

Write down your eligibility date, then count back from the end of your window to set your review start date. Begin early, because a longer runway gives you more practice time.

Step 3: Review the Full PSI Content

Study both exam portions together, and give the State Law topics extra attention because that portion tests Connecticut rules specifically.

Choose a partial or full course review, from four to 60 hours, based on how much of the course you want to revisit.

Then use the instructor handout booklet to practice specific questions and answers after each topic. Also take the online quizzes to check your progress between sessions.

Step 4: Enroll in the $275 Retake Program

Call (203) 692-5533 or use the registration page on the Capital Real Estate School website, and have your completion receipt ready.

Join Zoom Webinar-Based sessions from home or at work, so the review fits around your job.

Ask the CRES Team for current review dates and for the review length that matches your timeline.

When a Structured Review Becomes Your Next Step

A guided review turns your finished course into a focused exam plan built around the full PSI content.

Local Context 

“The Connecticut DCP 2025 Licensing Report lists Real Estate among the industries with the most active credentials, at 27,119 for salespeople, brokers, teams, community association managers, and temporary appraisers.”

National Context 

“The Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook projects two percent employment growth for real estate brokers and sales agents from 2025 to 2035, slower than average, with about 40,400 openings per year, mostly from workers who leave or change occupations.”

Planning Takeaway 

Those figures show steady turnover in the field, so a focused review helps you prepare to join it.
