Hey BiggerPockets community,
I'm currently diving into the Online Kentucky Real Estate Course (96-hours), and I've been diligently studying each unit. So far, I've been maintaining above an 80% on the quizzes that follow each section. However, I want to ensure that I'm not just passing quizzes but retaining all the essential information necessary to ace both the national and state exams. It's worth noting that I am currently on Unit 14 of 28 in the pre-licensing course.
I'm curious to know what strategies other agents have used to retain and fully absorb the material from similar courses. How did you reinforce your learning and ensure success on the exams?
Additionally, as I embark on this journey towards becoming a licensed real estate agent, I'm eager to gather tips and advice from seasoned professionals. This has been a lifelong passion for me; I've been studying real estate since I was about 14 years old and have been an active member of BiggerPockets for many years. Now, I'm excited to turn this passion into a career, and any insights you can offer would be invaluable.
I believe in the power of connection and collaboration, which is why I'd love to network and connect with others in the industry. Let's learn and grow together as we navigate the exciting world of real estate.
Looking forward to hearing your experiences and insights!
Best,
Aaron Phillips
@Aaron Phillips the sooner you complete the coursework, the better. It'll be more recent in your memory, so push through the remaining units. As you know, each unit at the end includes a quiz covering the key concepts. After completing the online coursework, you'll need to take two tests before proceeding to the national and state tests, which mark the final phase of the journey. Throughout, you'll have ample opportunities to practice. Feel free to revisit any sections where you feel less confident. Additionally, if necessary, you can opt for a practice test at and extra cost. YouTube offers numerous helpful videos explaining key terminology, which constitutes a significant portion of the licensing test. Understanding these terms can often lead you to the correct answer in the multiple-choice format. Even if you're unsure, guessing can still result in you selecting the right answer.
Becoming an agent is challenging, and the exam doesn't necessarily equip you with all the skills needed for success in the field. You will learn a lot more in the field than you ever will with the coursework. However, it does provide a foundational understanding that surpasses what the average person knows about the industry.
