Correct answer: A. 90 total hours, including 9 hours of civil rights and fair housing law

Correct. R 339.22111(1) requires 90 hours of approved prelicensure classroom courses for a broker applicant, 9 clock hours of which must be on civil rights and fair housing law.

• B: Incorrect. 40 hours with 4 hours of civil rights instruction is the salesperson prelicensure requirement under R 339.22111(4), not the broker requirement.
• C: Incorrect. 60 hours is the law-degree equivalency credit amount under this rule, not the standard broker hour requirement.
• D: Incorrect. There is no 24-hour option, and civil rights/fair housing instruction is an explicit, mandatory component of broker prelicensure education.

Correct answer: B. 3 years

Correct. LARA's current broker licensing guide and Mich. Admin. Code R 339.22115 (implementing MCL 339.2505(7)(b)(viii)) require 3 years of full-time experience in real estate or a related field such as sales, building, appraisal, or title/escrow work.

• A: Incorrect. 1 year is not sufficient; Michigan requires substantially more experience before broker licensure.
• C: Incorrect. 5 years overstates Michigan's requirement; the actual threshold is 3 years.
• D: Incorrect. 2 years understates Michigan's requirement; the actual threshold is 3 years.

Correct answer: C. 36 months before application

Correct. R 339.22111(1) requires the broker prelicensure education to be completed not more than 36 months before the date of application, unless the applicant held an active salesperson license during that period.

• A: Incorrect. 12 months is shorter than the actual recency window Michigan allows.
• B: Incorrect. 60 months overstates the recency window under the rule.
• D: Incorrect. A time limit does apply unless the applicant held an active salesperson license during the intervening period, which removes the recency requirement.

Correct answer: D. 60 clock hours, including 6 hours of civil rights and fair housing instruction

Correct. R 339.22111(3)(a) treats a law degree as equivalent to 60 clock hours of real estate education, including 6 clock hours of civil rights and fair housing instruction.

• A: Incorrect. 30 clock hours is the credit given for a bachelor's degree in business or finance, not a law degree.
• B: Incorrect. A law degree does not waive the entire 90-hour requirement; it only provides a partial credit.
• C: Incorrect. 45 clock hours is not a figure used in this rule.

Correct answer: A. 30 clock hours

Correct. R 339.22111(3)(c) credits a qualifying bachelor's degree in business or finance as equivalent to 30 clock hours of real estate education.

• B: Incorrect. 60 clock hours is the credit for a qualifying master's degree in business administration or finance, not a bachelor's degree.
• C: Incorrect. A bachelor's degree does not fully satisfy the 90-hour requirement.
• D: Incorrect. Credit is explicitly provided for a qualifying bachelor's degree under this rule.
