I am re-taking the General Real estate exam (freaking out)

Hey guys, I am preparing (well trying to prepare) and have been preparing for the last 4 weeks to re take my general exam! I failed it by 4 points and have to retake it again. Luckily I passed the state so I don't have to take that over. I studied the Pearson vue guide to passing the real estate exam and reviewed everything thoroughly along with doing chapter quizzes. Now I am doing the review tests in the back of the book. 

Besides taking the practice exams, any advice for trying to pass the general exam with flying colors?

Here are a couple of tips that has helped me get my license In Michigan and currently preparing to get me Illinois license.

Look into Exam Smart it pulls questions for the actual exam or very similar questions. My thought process was this if I can pass this test 10 times in a row and get over a 85% then the test won't be nearly as hard. It also helps with confidence when you do take the exam which that alone is worth the cost of the program I think it's like $45-75 it was included in both of my classes so don't know the exact price.

After you finish the test if there are any questions you left for later answer those and then just submit the test. I found my self second guessing my answers after I was done and started to change my answers when reviewing them so I stopped myself changed my answers back to what they were and passed.

Chew a piece of gum helps you let some stress out without distracting yourself to much.

You can get it only a few points off so try not to stress over it and hopefully some of the ideals will help you out let us know how it goes.
