See what changed, what was verified, and what was not a correction

The current PSI booklet effective June 24, 2026, the Illinois Real Estate License Act, Part 1450, IDFPR licensing guidance, the Illinois Human Rights Act, current IDHR housing guidance, and enacted 104th General Assembly public acts were checked across the exam, licensing, law, calculation, glossary, and practice libraries. Time-sensitive federal mortgage and program figures were also rechecked against the responsible agencies.

Final-text review prevented a false co-ownership update: although Senate Bill 3398 retained a tenants-in-common title and early synopsis, House Amendment No. 1 replaced that proposal, and Public Act 104-0820 as enacted concerns health-care surrogates. Public Acts 104-0734, 104-0744, and 104-0797 are tracked as January 1, 2027 changes rather than described as operative on this review date. Public Acts 104-0479 and 104-0514 likewise remain clearly identified as future rental-fee law.

Stale agency, court, and institutional citations were replaced with current destination pages without changing the supported teaching point. No new material error was found in the core exam counts, passing standards, time limits, licensing eligibility, endorsement route, attempt rules, renewal framework, or protected-class explanations.

The national category cards previously mixed PSI's published broker subtopics with selected topics from the broader IDFPR 75-hour prelicense curriculum. For example, the summary placed commissions and measurement conversions inside the PSI Real Estate Calculations category and included primary and secondary mortgage markets under Financing even though the current PSI broker outline does not list those phrases there.

The cards now condense PSI's published broker subtopics. A separate section explains that PSI supplies the scored exam blueprint while IDFPR supplies the required education map. The broader study topics remain available where they add educational value, but they are no longer presented as though PSI expressly assigns them to those category cards.

The current Illinois Real Estate Candidate Information Bulletin was checked for scored-question counts, separate passing standards, portion time limits, experimental questions, identification, test-center and remote rules, rescheduling, retakes, and the one-year post-passing application clock.

Result: current exam and logistics pages remain aligned to the June 24, 2026 booklet. The outline-category correction is recorded separately above. Where PSI surfaces conflict, the conflict is disclosed instead of silently choosing the more convenient number.

The Real Estate License Act and Part 1450 were checked for sponsorship, compensation, agency, written agreements, education, renewal, endorsement, reciprocity, advertising, funds, assistants, and discipline. The brokerage-agreement guidance reflects the rule text current July 13, 2026: seller or owner agreements before marketing or listing, and buyer or tenant agreements before, or as soon as reasonably practical after, licensed assistance intended to help buy or lease begins.

The site also reflects the January 1, 2026 closure of new reciprocity applications and the current endorsement route. These are source-driven legal updates. They are not presented as proof that earlier reviewed pages contained a material error.

The approved-provider guidance was checked against IDFPR's current real estate education-provider listing dated August 6, 2026 when reviewed. The page tells students to verify both the provider and exact approved course again before enrolling.

Result: no provider is treated as endorsed for teaching quality, price, service, pass rate, or personal fit merely because it appears on an approval list. The verification date is shown because provider and course status can change.

A material correction entry will state the date, affected page, earlier claim, corrected claim, primary source, and scope of the connected-page review. It will not erase the fact that the earlier claim was published.

A report is assessed against current primary sources before the page changes. If the evidence is ambiguous or official sources conflict, the page will disclose the uncertainty and the source hierarchy rather than inflate confidence.
