You have to do a lot of things right to pass the North Carolina real estate exam the first time. A student paid $300 tuition to sit in this real estate class. Reading the upcoming chapters in the textbook before coming to class has to be an obvious benefit to a real estate student. If you read the chapters that you know will be coming up in real estate class tomorrow before you come to class, this will give you a chance to look up any strange words in the glossary. You might write a note in the margin of the book to ask the real estate instructor about this or that.
Read the textbook. Do not go and pay to take one of the toughest tests around, the North Carolina real estate exam without having read the textbook.
Get more out of your classroom experience. Pay attention. This is not high school. The student is paying to be there. The student is paying to take the North Carolina real estate test every time. Pay attention in class. Ask questions if there is something you do not understand. Do not be concerned that asking a question might embarrass you. This is no time to worry about that. You have a test to pass.
Another thing you can do to get more out of your classroom experience is to do your homework. In my class at First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, North Carolina, I assign the questions at the end of the chapters for homework. It is startling to students to discover that they can not recall the answer to a question that we covered just a few short hours ago. I suggest that you, not only do your homework, but seek out other practice tests that you can take. Practice tests are a great way to study. http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/04/real-estate-practice-exam-for-north.html
The North Carolina Real Estate Commission, the people that make the rules, tell the licensed real estate schools that a student is allowed to miss up to twenty per cent. of the classes in a 75 hour real estate course. If you are attending a real estate class you could miss up to fifteen hours of class and still graduate. Don't miss any class. Attend 100% of the class. We all know that emergencies happen. Cars break down. People get sick. Stuff happens. Don't let it happen to you. Show up for class 100% of the time. You paid for 100% of the class. You are going to be tested on 100% of the class. Show up for !00% of the class.

As long as I have been teaching real estate classes, I have heard stories about people that "missed passing the test by one point or two points". If that "almost made it" student had been 100% attendance, certainly he would have picked up one point.
Fifteen per cent of the North Carolina real estate exam is arithmetic. We no longer have to balance a HUD closing statement (as of May 2016) but there is still plenty of of math that is strange and new to a student that can barely compute a tip in a restaurant.
If you are having trouble with the math in your real estate course, watch the math videos that I have posted on You Tube. Go to You Tube. Put my name, Ron Climer Notrh Carolina Math, in the search bar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxc4SZ1CW1w
Any math that you will encounter on the North Carolina real estate exam is on those videos. Invite a couple of classmates over and watch these videos together.
Studying together is a wonderful way to make studying more fun. Get together. Be careful that this does not more social than learning. Get together with your classmates that are serious about passing the first time. You can meet at the library or some one's house. Most likely, the real estate office that you are going to work for might let you meet in their conference room if it is available. Ask.
Please take your real estate class seriously. You paud for the class. You paid your application fee to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission. You paid for your background check. You have to pay every time you take the North Carolina real estate test. Pass this test the first time.
Here is a tip from my wife. Don't tell anyone that you are taking the real estate test . When you tell all your family and friends that you are taking the test on Monday morning, the first thing they ask on Tuesday is,"Did you pass?". Why not just surprise everyone and walk in one day and say," I passed my North Carolina real estate exam yesterday."? That sounds good.
