Every Freehold question shows why the right answer is right — and cites its source.
Which of the following is NOT one of the general licensing standards the Real Estate Board is authorized to establish?
Local jury duty exemptions for licensees
Educational requirements for licensure
Experience requirements for licensure
Standards of professional conduct
Show answer & explanation
Local jury duty exemptions for licensees — The Board's authority under § 54.1-2105 covers licensure standards like education, experience, and conduct; it has no role in setting jury duty exemptions, which fall outside its regulatory scope.

Virginia's minimum prelicensing course for a salesperson applicant, the principles of real estate course, must carry at least:
30 hours of instruction, equal to 2 semester hours of academic credit
60 hours of instruction, equal to 4 semester hours of academic credit
120 hours of instruction, equal to 8 full semester hours of academic credit
15 hours of instruction, equal to 1 semester hour of academic credit
Show answer & explanation
60 hours of instruction, equal to 4 semester hours of academic credit — The statute requires the principles of real estate course to carry at least 4 semester hours of academic credit, translating to a minimum of 60 classroom or distance-learning hours.

A candidate whose principles of real estate course was only 40 classroom hours long, with no stated academic credit, would:
Fail to satisfy Virginia's minimum 60-hour, 4-semester-hour prelicensing requirement
Still qualify entirely, because any completed course counts toward it regardless of length
Only need to retake half of the course
Qualify only for a restricted salesperson license carrying limited practice privileges
Show answer & explanation
Fail to satisfy Virginia's minimum 60-hour, 4-semester-hour prelicensing requirement — Because the statute sets a floor of 4 semester hours of credit or 60 hours of instruction, a 40-hour course without equivalent credit would not meet Virginia's licensing standard.

Under Virginia law, a person who has entered into a contractual relationship with a licensee for representation is called a:
Customer
Principal broker
Client
Third-party beneficiary
Show answer & explanation
Client — Virginia's brokerage relationship statute defines a 'client' as someone who has entered into an actual brokerage relationship with a licensee, distinct from an unrepresented customer.
