How to Pass The Real Estate Exam in 2022 (Guaranteed)

In this video, I will go through the easiest way to pass your real estate exam on the first try! These are the methods I used to pass my own real estate licensing exam, and I am confident that with these tips, you can EASILY pass.
Real Estate Express (now know as Colibri Real Estate):
bit.ly/colibrirealestateexamprep
^This is the exact exam prep I took. I highly recommend it if you are looking for the best way to study for the real estate exam - It is cheap but super effective, and they have thousands of practice questions, which I recommend if you want to pass your test the first try. Can't stress how important getting exam prep like this is.

The common misconception that wastes a lot of time is that you need to read each and every word on the real estate course. This is false - I passed the test easily and I mostly skimmed the material. Now, reading the entire text will 100% help you pass the test, but it isn't the best use of your time. So hopefully that alone saves you 30+ hours on your course.
We'll talk about the best strategy to pass your real estate exam (using practice questions), study tips, what content to study, and how many hours per day to spend.
Honestly, the test is not too hard and if you study using this guide, I can pretty much guarantee you'll pass on the first try. This test is just like any other state exam - you can learn to take it, review practice questions that closely mimic the real exam, and understand how they word the questions.
Getting your real estate license is quite easy and you should be able to get it in most states in about 90 days!

If your in the fundamentals portion of the courses , unfortunately it is a heavy material load however I would highly suggest flash cards and to utilize any end of chapter quizzes your textbook may offer you ( take the quizzes multiple times). Also keep in mind they can’t question you on everything so try to focus on the most important concepts and don’t be afraid to ask your teacher for what those may be! Good luck 🍀

@Claudia Gonzalez yes I did!

[@Spaghatee]

@@dwboi15 it was a LOT to take in, but I enjoyed the course. I think I would have had an easier time in a classroom environment, but overall it was a pretty solid prelicense course. Plus, I took the one that actually sends you a textbook, and that’s helped me with my studying for the state exam as well. Good luck!

[@Spaghatee]

@Claudia Gonzalez have you taken your 75 hour pre-license course yet? I’m in GA so I’m not sure about the differences in State Laws and procedures, but Real Estate Express covered everything that needed to be covered, and then some. It was definitely a very in-depth course, but it was a lot to try and learn on my own. If possible, I would definitely look into a classroom setting if you learn better in that kind of environment. However, if you are the kind of person that can push yourself to learn material on your own, then definitely look into Real Estate Express. I would pay for the more expensive course though just because they send you an actual text book which helped me a lot with studying. If you actually review the material and study hard you will do fine!

[@Spaghatee]

In addition to what this gentleman is saying, I would not recommend ‘skimming through’ the math concepts and formulas you were taught during your real estate classes.
