What the handbook leaves out
- Same 4-hour total stated for both salesperson (120 scored) and broker (140 scored) exams; no per-portion time limit published.
- Handbook mentions an 'AB License' (p6: 'not required for AB License'), not further defined in the handbook; not treated as a separate tier here.
