Question 10

The candidate must apply for a license no later than June 9 of the following year.

To maintain the validity of their examination results, the candidate must submit their application for a real estate license within one year of passing the licensing examination, which was on December 9. Therefore, the deadline for application is June 9 of the following year.

A) February 27 of the following year

This option is incorrect because it does not fall within the one-year timeframe from the date the candidate passed the examination. The application deadline is determined by the examination date, which is December 9, making February 27 an insufficient timeframe.

B) June 9 of the following year

This option is correct as it aligns with the requirement that candidates must apply for their license within one year of passing their examination. Since the examination was passed on December 9, the last day to apply would indeed be June 9 of the following year.

C) August 27 of the following year

This option is incorrect because it exceeds the one-year limit set for applying after passing the examination. The candidate's examination date is December 9, making June 9 the final acceptable date for submission, not August 27.

D) December 9 of the following year

This option is incorrect as it suggests applying one year after the examination date. The requirement is to apply within one year of passing the exam, making December 9 of the following year too late for application.

Conclusion

The correct answer, June 9 of the following year, reflects the legal requirement for license application timing after passing the real estate examination. All other options fail to meet the criteria established by the state licensing authority, thereby confirming that June 9 is the only valid deadline for application following the candidate's successful examination.
