Getting my license in Virginia

[David McCauley]

I'm currently taking an online course to get my license in Virginia. How difficult is the test and what should I be studying along with or after I take the course, prior to taking the exam? I am also curious if one can successfully be an agent part time while working another 9-5 job. I know sales are slow when someone first starts and don't want to quit my 9 to 5 right off the bat to do real estate. Also how hard is it to get into a brokerage as a new agent? Will the pretty much take anyone, or are they picky in who the choose? Any other advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
