Yes, I am a new licensed real estate sales person. I do have a local REIA that I can attend. I am still shopping around for the right brokerage.
Thanks for the feed back!

Hey, Fhanillia. Help us put it in perspective, OK? What will you do with your license, once you get it? Be an agent? Use it to support your investing career? Reason I say that is because a license is not required to be successful in investing. So if you never get it, you are not stopped in your goals. And if you get it, it is more of an expense than an asset for a while, and you can always try again. So keep the failure down in size, it's just a fact, doesn't define you. We all fail at stuff, it means we are trying.
Now, to passing: get a partner who cares about you, and is smart. Take the parts you struggle with, and (this is key) EXPLAIN them to someone else until you both share understanding of the small topic. That will re-wire your brain a bit, and you will sort it out. If you can't explain something, talk about it with the person, until you do. Go Google it for some other approach to the topic, if the text you're using isn't clear. Ask an agent friend for help understanding if you still don't get it. But teaching a topic is the best way to master it.
If you can't find a partner, then write out your own explanations, to yourself. You're still doing the same teaching, but not as effectively, since no feedback.
That's my tip. I almost always pass tests like these, my whole long life, and miss either none or just a couple, so I know what I am talking about! This works!
Hey mark! I plan to invest in real estate but this goal to get my license is key so I can put my whole hand in the real estate game!
Writing out explanations is a great idea, and yes standardized test can be a bummer! But I have faith in myself!
Thank you

Simply stop the stressing. Don't over prep for the test. Running through the practice test is great. Take your time on the test....if you catch a question you are unsure of...move onto the next question and double back for the harder ones. It's probably a computer exam now so I'm not sure if you can double back. If you can't, with multiple choice, you always eliminate a couple of answers right off the bat. At that point, you're narrowing the odds. With all of the prep you are doing....you will pass it just fine this time! so no worries.
You are so right! There's no point in stressing. I will review facts and take more practice tests all tonight and go to bed and just trust myself for the test tomm!

YES the concepts are key! I found some concepts for certain key facts on YouTube that have helped me tremendously! Thank you

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?
