Question for CA-based real estate sales agents and brokers

[Andrew Smith]

Once you've taken the California real estate licensing exam, how long do you have to wait before finding out if you passed? Is your score calculated right after completing the test, or is there a lengthy waiting period?

The reason I ask is because I have to fly to CA from out of state to take the exam, and if my score is given as soon as the test is over (or at least within a week or so), I could immediately start interviewing for real estate jobs in the area. But if I won't be finding out right away, then I'll have to fly back home and wait for my score before returning to CA so that I can go on job interviews and look for a place to live.

Thanks in advance.
