I just passed my state test a few months ago and I agree with everything posted. I would like to also add what I did to pass the test and maybe that will help:
#1 I took the class, I know how I am if I'm taking it online I would never be focused enough to give my full attention there is too many distractions in the home. Taking the class forces you to focus on what you need to do to pass and the teachers help a great deal.
#2 I recorded my voice going over the study materials and played it over and over in my car while driving. This is BIG, most people drive everywhere and while you are driving you can pick up a thing or two by burning it on a USB key or a CD and going over it.
#3 Pass the classroom test on the first try. Because if you don't, you have to wait 30 days here in Florida to take it again. When 30 days are up you forgot most of the material that you remembered. If you fail it a second time you have to take the class all over again.
#4 The night of your classroom test get a good nights sleep.....Seriously! The reason is because if you cram the night before..(like I did) I felt like a zombie taking the test and although I passed the first time I felt I didn't do as well if I were refreshed.
#5 If you are taking the online course buy the book Real Estate Principles Practices and Law by Linda Crawford and go over the entire book. I spoke to many people in the classroom that said they didn't get enough info taking the online course.
#6 Don't stress about the math too much. The Math counts for about 10 percent of your total grade focus more on What chapter 475 is and the other laws relating to Florida Real Estate. Good luck and if you have any questions that I can help answer let me know!
