The licensing exam is administered by a specific provider chosen by the state real estate board. Additional information on the testing provider responsible for administering the licensing exam can be found here. The salesperson examination must be registered and taken through PearsonVue at https://home.pearsonvue.com/pa/realestate. Pre-licensing courses must have been completed within five (5) years prior to the date of successful completion of the licensing examination.  Your examination scores are valid for three (3) years. If you miss the three year deadline, you must retake the examination. If you passed the national and state sections of the examination on different dates, the three year period begins the day you pass the first part of the examination.
