  • Real Estate Exam

    I can really say I underestimated the Real Estate exam and that It was very hard. Harder than any college exam or final that's for sure. But I did it the hard way I read the whole book on real estate instead of going over the questions which is more important than anything. You can read the book a million times and still not even get half the questions right on the exam. Most people memorize the over 1,000 practice questions and just answer accordingly even though the practice and state exams are worded different.

    I thought there would be about 300 people there but there was about 4,000 it was organized chaos. And then I noticed my hands freezing and not being able to breathe but as soon as I finished I felt a house ( ) was lifted off my shoulders. Anyway, I get my test results back in 2 weeks so I have no idea if I passed or not but my guess is I did. Anyone else have thier Real Estate license or going to get one?

    I was thinking about getting my license too...since we have a real estate department at work...why not, it wouldn't hurt.

    But yeah, anytime you take a State/Federal test...forget about it, it's hard no matter how much you study. I have my P&C license for insurance and next up is probably series 6 & 63 licenses...which are the hardest to pass.

      Probably not harder than the bar.

        No probably not even though I've never taken the bar. But both tests are all basically about law. So much law about real estate and loans. By the way, did you know you can sell your principle residence as of 1998 up to 250,000 for a single person and 500,000 for married people and not get taxed. You can do this every 2 years.

          Most likely not... I hesitate to say definitely since I've taken neither, but I've heard that the RE license is not hard at all to get. You read a book and take it or take a course once a week for a couple months. No way you could do that with the bar.

                In my case, nothing.

                    Ya my problem is I don't do that, I decide hmm I have a few days left maybe I should start reading. So I read the 600 page principles book listened to a 14 cd audio lecture in 3 days. The most important thing that I didn't do is go over the practice exam questions and memorize them. But at least I'll know my stuff when I have my license unlike all the confused ones out there with one right now.
