Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Study For The Real Estate Exam
The real estate exam is no different than any other exam you have taken in your life. Let’s not over complicate things. You need to learn the material in your class. It’s that simple. Now the advantage we have is we know the percentage breakdown of topics so you can study smarter and not spend 80% of your time on a section that is worth 5% of the test score. Let’s work smarter and not harder.
Is The Real Estate Licensing Exam Multiple Choice
Yes. Every State’s exam is multiple choice. They have been discussing moving a portion of the national exam to fill in the blank so we do expect the exam to get harder in the future.
How Long Should I Study For The Real Estate Exam
This is a loaded question (and rightfully so) as it depends on the person, their background and level of intellect. Some of our students studied over 20 hours and did not pass while others indicated that they put in less than 3 hours. With our program, you will pass after you can complete all the modules. The average length of time needed is 1 hour per day for 20 days.
Is A Real Estate License Worth Getting?
What are your goals? Surprisingly, the answer is often “No”. We have hundreds of emails every year asking us this question. If your goal is just to learn about real estate, you can do that for free on Google and YouTube. We only recommend getting your real estate license if your goal is to sell real estate.
