Raleigh, NC agent in training

[Account Closed]

Chris White here, graduated from UNCW with B.S. in Buss. From NC, currently an officer in the Navy. Registered for pre brokerage course during mid summer. Looking to become full time agent. Buy and hold is my investing mindset. Shout out to Active Duty Millionaire Podcast for the introduction to this site! If I'm to study one area to get a jump on the competition before pre brokerage course, what should it be?

Buy the book Modern Real Estate Practice in NC I'm not sure what the current edition is at this time, its 8 or higher. Start reading that book, read as much as you can prior to starting the class. 

The stats don't indicate that people fail the test (by majority) due to the math portion of test. The problem is terminology and word definitions. Real estate lingo is its own thing and they test heavily on your ability to understand rules and supporting information on the state test and national test. 

Also if you haven't already checked, the instructor and the school make a significant difference. There are plenty of published stats from the Real Estate Commission that indicate schools with the highest pass rates and which instructors have the highest pass rates as well. If your school or instructor aren't on the list make a change it will make a difference. 

Good luck go Navy
