Nervous about RE School

[Marie S.]

I've made the decision to get licensed. It just seemed like the next logical step in my RE journey. I'm so nervous and I can't pin point why. I'm not sure if it's passing the school or passing the licensure test. Is there any part of the process that you would have handled differently as a RE professional? If so, why?

@Marie S.   having taken brokers tests in 3 states  and NMLS test... What Bill describes is true you will simply memorize the test and answers the practice questions are basically vertabim the one's you will see on the test... At the end of the day there were 3 hours allocated in my states... I was done in 30 minutes.. they don't tell you how many you got right just P or F... The NMLS that one does tell you.. And is MUCH harder than any RE brokers exam I have taken... Remember when you meet some realtor and you can't figure out how they could have passed the test you will be comforted in knowing that its not all that difficult.. But use this time to really learn the inn's and outs do not just do the minimum... 

Also my tip for the test and the one that can fubar some is skip all Math questions.. there will only be about 3 to 7 on any given test... You don't want to get all frustrated with a math or problem solving question when the majority of the questions have a simple answer that you will recognize.. then just come back and do that math at your own pace knowing that you already passed because you knew rules and law portion well.

Personally I never answered one math test ever  just wrote C on each... Now I did like to work Section township and Range answers as I like that stuff... :)
