Dan! I can not thank you enough for making this video, I was so confused hearing everyone talk about the state and national exam ( as I too am in NYC) All I've done the past week is watch Prep Agent videos which has been a tremendous help and I love that you mentioned them. I take the exam tomorrow and had a mini freakout today trying to imagine what it was going to be like so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

[@danielma-realestatevaluema7975]

Hi Rachel, thank you for the comment - I’m so glad you found my video helpful! I was definitely unclear about the steps to take the test and to get my NYS license too.Good luck on the exam tomorrow!

[@midelinetheRealtor]

Rachel Garcia any update on your results, was it easy pr hard

[@vidtuby]

How did you do on the exam?

[@kiarashjahan8780]

The test was super easy in New York State, compared to Florida! There must’ve been 150 people downtown Manhattan on William Street. I must’ve been the last five to walk into room of 150 people taking the exam.. about 20 minutes later after the exam was handed out I was completed with my exam and there must’ve still been 140 people still sitting down taking the exam lol … I studied extremely hard so I believe that was the reason I was able to showcase those types of results that I have to be honest I felt it was easy work very easy exam… I think the state of Florida has one of the hardest real estate exams for real estate associates and brokers. My opinion -

Passing the Real estate test is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don't have time for your studies l'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Willard

[@kenalonso9017]

I've always believed Real estate is not for all but studying, you need God's grace to pass

[@aundreathomas3444]

People keep talking about Willard all over KZbin, he must be a very awesome help

[@mloneusk]

Hey Daniel, did you find the NYS exam similar to the Real Estate Express final exam and quiz questions? Essentially, I'm wondering if studying through the practice quizzes on Real Estate Express will be enough for the NYS exam. Hope you can help!

How long do you have to wait for New York State exam result?

Ate there books you can recommend for someone who can’t take the course yet but still wants the knowledge of everything the course?

[@batman-oq1vc]

is it multiple choice exam?

[@katherineeconomos3552]

hi! great video, thank you! I'm taking mine this week. I have a question: do you need to write down a brokerage to send the scores to....like do you already need to be hired, or can you get your scores and then scout out potential brokerages? Thank you

[@kyleloney2814]

Thanks Man! Im also from Long Island and taking my test in 11 days. I also agree that it was kinda of bumming that the test schedule was a month out from passing the course exam. Gonna study my terms list and do a lot of practice tests. Thanks again and Good Luck in the business!

[@danielma-realestatevaluema7975]

Hey Kyle! Hope the video was helpful and good luck on the exam. Definitely take some practice tests and don’t sweat it , you only need 70%

[@MYABCOSMETICS]

Hey Kyle, what course did you take for your pre licensing

[@coffeewalker]

What practice exam do you feel is closest to the real thing?? Can you recommend one.. Thank you.

[@Yasmin__S]

Hi Daniel, thank you so much for this video. It was incredibly helpful! :)

[@bolbybob7629]

I think it makes sense they don't allow blank sheets of paper. Notes could easily be temporarily hidden using thermal ink or something similar. Good luck when you get the results!

[@danielma-realestatevaluema7975]

Haha I didn’t think about invisible ink! And thanks!

Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ thanks for this info. I took my course test today and just barely passed with a 65%. It really spooked me because I thought the questions were much more difficult and worded differently then they were throughout the rest of the course. I took several online practice tests that were much easier.. I used NYREI for my course. Do you recommend getting any additional study help to pass? I was looking at additional practice test courses, it seems like Kaplan is the best one.. would love any advise on this

[@danielma-realestatevaluema7975]

Hi Kristen! Well good news is that you passed your course final and have time now to prepare for the State exam. It really depends on what method of studying works best for you. Are you memorizing questions and answers or are you understanding the concepts? I am not familiar about NYREI or Kaplan but there is definitely enough free material out there on the internet to help you pass. I would recommend Prep Agent on YT to learn concepts and for crash courses. Here's a good video for starters: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5axhXyKqrp-eLM&ab_channel=PrepAgent

[@kristenrylander]

@@danielma-realestatevaluema7975 thanks for the quick response! I find that I understand all the concepts and the vocabulary... I know all the laws, vocab and equations. It’s more the way that the questions are worded that was confusing to me. They would ask a very simple question in a very backward way that really threw me off and I have been nervous that the state test will be like this.

[@kristenrylander]

I will check out his videos. Thank you!

[@danielma-realestatevaluema7975]

@@kristenrylander I dont think the state test was like that, maybe for a few questions. just remember not to choose an answer you've never heard of before. if you didn't come across that term when you were studying, then its probably a wrong answer

[@kristenrylander]

@@danielma-realestatevaluema7975 ok awesome! Thanks so much. Appreciate your videos and documenting your real estate journey :)

[@JP-qg7fg]

Hey Dan I really like your video. It’s very informative. But there is one point I am not very sure of. My online course school shows that you can schedule your state exam prior to completing 75 hours course. Another question is that I know it’s paper based test, so do they have requirements for the pencil you brought. Does it have to be 2B Pencil so the machine can read it? Thanks so much !

[@danielma-realestatevaluema7975]

Hi JP, glad you found the video informative. You can schedule the state exam before you finish the course, it’s not a requirement to finish the course before taking the state exam. Yes bring a #2 pencil

Hello is the real estate express course interactive with videos or just a bunch of reading?

[@danielma-realestatevaluema7975]

Hi Rocky, there are very few videos in the course - I recall 3-4 short videos but the rest is reading. I filmed a review on real estate express, check it out and maybe it helps answer more of your questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqq4qI2AYtR-jNU

Hi! how do you decide which school to take the 75 hour real estate course with or did you study on your own?

[@danielma-realestatevaluema7975]

Hi Rebecca, deciding on which school to take is entirely up to you. For instance, I chose real estate express because it was online and I thought it was a good price. but you must take a certified 75 hour course as the first step in order to get your state license

Hi! I also took my course through Real Estate Express and will also be taking my exam at the franklin square testing center. I’m shocked to find out that we only take the state portion! This is my first time hearing that. Being that the exam will be the same as the one you took, can you recommend any specific terms or topics that i should be focusing on? also how many math questions were on the exam? Thank you!

[@danielma-realestatevaluema7975]

Hi Sadé, idk how much I can divulge about the exam questions but I wouldn’t worry too much about the math and there’s definitely a wide variety of questions so understand key terms, laws, and concepts will help. Good luck on the exam!
