@Delia Hernandez Take the practice exams over and over and over, and figure out which topics you're not doing so great at...then study those topics more.That's how I, and also many others I know, have passed our exams.  

This is in PA if that matters.I know this topic has been asked numerous times but would love to hear any updated/specific thoughts.

For example, if you are looking to connect with other members near you, want to learn from people in a specific area you’d like to invest in, or have a desire to find people interested in certain topics, you could use the search feature here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersI really like the alerts feature that can quickly guide you to current topics that may be of interest: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts

Would you prefer for the meetup to be nothing formal, just a casual hang out to interact with other investors in the area to discuss deals, hopes, and dreams, etc..... or would you prefer to have a topic to discuss and possibly have someone in the real estate world (bankers, lenders, financial advisors, Inspectors, etc.) come to chat with everyone about what they can do to help and what they look for?

Wow, I just got on this forum about 10 minutes ago in order to ask about this very topic. 

Look for meet ups in your area (virtual), attend free webinars, start reading as much as possible on any and all topics related to investing and real estate.
