Be Sure To Pass The North Carolina Real Estate Exam

     on your second attempt.  I just hung up the phone talking to a North Carolina real estate exam applicant from the flat end of the state.  He was not my student.  He had been watching my real estate math videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3TtXSnMx9s   to help him pass the North Carolina real estate exam.  He called to ask me for advice.  You could hear the frustration in his voice.  He told me that he had failed the North Carolina real estate test four times.  He wanted some advice.

     I told him three things.  I told him to forget all of his "street knowledge".  Everything on the North Carolina real estate exam is based on textbook knowledge.  If you try to answer test questions with "street knowledge", you will miss a few questions.

     In my classes at First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, North Carolina, I give my students this sample question; "All North Carolina real estate brokers are honest.  True or False?"  Invariably, the class shouts out "False".  This statement is not false.  It is true.  Being honest is one of the requirements to get a North Carolina real estate brokers license.  The only way you could think this was false would be if you were referencing your "street knowledge" to answer the question.  If you rely on your book knowledge to find an answer, the statement has to be true.

     This is a simple concept that will help you pass the North Carolina real estate exam in Asheville.  Answer the questions with book knowledge , not street knowledge.

     Since this young man had a real estate license in another state, the second thing I told him was to forget everything he knew from the other state.  It does not matter how they do things in your home state.  It matters how we do things in North Carolina.  That is especially true if you are taking the North Carolina only test.  They don't do dual agency in Florida where I came from.  We do dual agency in North Carolina.  If you intend to pass the North Carolina real estate exam, you better know when, why and how we do dual agency in North Carolina.

     Make sure that your knowledge is North Carolina knowledge.  What you knew from another state is worse than worthless.  The relationship between  a buyer and a seller is not "caveat emptor" in all states.  It is in North Carolina.  They don't have the Conner Act in every state.  There is no due diligence fee in every state.  In North Carolina, you better know how due diligence fee appears on a closing statement. IT IS THE NORTH CAROLINA REAL ESTATE EXAM.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4

     The third thing that I advised my frustrated friend to do is to leave a legal notepad and a ball point pen on the front seat of the car the next time he went to take the North Carolina real estate test.  If you leave the exam with a failure notice in your hand, before you crank up the car, start writing down questions and concepts that were on your test.  This information is never going to be fresher on your mind.  Write as many questions as you can remember.  Look up the answers.  Understand the concepts.  You will see this information again.  Remember the young man had taken the North Carolina real estate exam four times.  If he had received this advice three attempts ago, he would have probably passed by now.  This is gold.  Do not leave it laying on the ground.
