Getting a License Is Not So Easy!
I am currently trying to get my license in Ga and I was a 9 points away from passing my school exam, so I am currently in the process of studying to take it again. This time around I am going to work with a tutor and I am just curious to know did anyone else out there have to retake any parts of two exams (School and State) before getting their license? And what were some tips and tricks that you believed helped you successfully pass? Thanks in advance!

I took the course online, so it had a proctored exam after the end of the course - which I failed THREE TIMES. THREE TIMES failing the exam before even getting the COURSE CERTIFICATE. I'm not exactly a dumbass either ;)
So yeah, it happens. ;) Don't worry - the licensing course and exam doesn't mean diddly squat when it comes to actually using your license in transactions. Experience is much better than education :)
