 Thank you for the wonderful advice!

Download the GA real estate agent exam prep app. I think it's like $10, but it took numerous people in my class from failing to passing

I passed all of it the first time over 12 years ago but I am a test nerd and can study right before tests and do well.

In later years I took the broker test and that was a very tough test.

When I took the agent it was easy multiple choice. Lakeisha I am assuming you took the pre-license hours and passed the mid term and final and what you failed was the state test.

The state test last time I did it was multiple choice. A multiple choice test an optimal strategy some use is to only answer questions you know 100% and then skip the others. For instance out of 4 answers to a question and you have narrowed to 2 skip the question and come back to it later.

More questions down the line you answer a question that takes one of the 2 answers off the list. Now you have your answer with one choice left to go back to.

You then leave the ones you absolutely have no clue about for the end and take an educated guess. 

 Thanks Joel for the great advice...very helpful!

 Most people have to take the exam twice. I wouldn't sweat it. It's not a failure it's just basic test taking nerves. I'm sure you'll do just fine when you take it again. if there is a particular area of real estate you're struggling with throw your questions out here on the forum and a lot of folks will be able to help.  Other than that just study the living poop out of the practice exam, go take the test, then get licensed and make some money. Best of luck 

 Thanks Jason. Posting questions on here that I may have is an excellent idea. Hopefully I will pass this time around...thanks!

 Hello and welcome to BP!  I really can not advise on how to pass your test in Georgia.  I am 59 years old and was born and raised in Dallas Texas.  I found BP about 6 months ago and I am still trying to decide what to do part time and make some money.  I graduated from college with a business degree that emphasized real estate.  I also got a broker license in 1980.  I am sure that a bunch has changed since then.  Location (which you probably allready learned) is the most important thing when you considering the overall value.  Regardless Of my business degree which emphasized real estate I have been in the construction business since I was 17.  I have done a few real estate deals and my Dad has been in real estate for about 40 years and I learned a little from him.  Be careful with what you decide to do.  Good luck to you!  If you have to borrow money to acquire real estate, you might want to look at owner financing.

 Mr. Lee thank you so much!
