The North Carolina Real Estate Exam, Pass It The First Time.

     If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam, heed this advice.  Last month, I had a man call me from Fayetteville.  That is a long way from Hendersonville.  He had failed the North Carolina portion of the North Carolina real estate exam eleven times.  Compute his expense on that adventure.

     He was calling me looking for advice.  He had watched my free North Carolina real estate math videos on You Tube.  He had read some of my articles.  I could feel the frustration in his voice.  He claimed that he had studied.  Here is the advice that I gave him.  I want to give you the same advice.

Ron Climer, Instructor at First Real Estate School

     If you are paying $64 to take the North Carolina real estate exam, plan on passing.  Be prepared if you do not pass.  Leave a legal pad and a pen on the seat of your car.  If you fail, before you start the car, write down as many questions as you can remember.  This information is gold.  It is never going to be fresher in your mind.

     You do not have to write down the whole question.  Write the concept.  Do you need a license to advertise a auction?  When to deposit escrow check?  What is heated living area?  When do I have to take post license course?  When does license expire?  If you take the test eleven times, you will probably see some of these questions again.  Take you textbook and thumb through it.  Remind yourself of concepts.

     If you saw words on the exam that you did not know what they meant, write them down.  Look them up in the glossary or dictionary.

     Sixty one per cent of the applicants passed the North Carolina real estate exam the first time last month.  Thirty nine per cent need to follow my advice.  Thirty nine per cent will be paying $$$$$$ to take the North Carolina real estate exam again.

     Only 27% of repeat test takers passed last month..  If you are taking the exam for the second time, follow this advice.  Your odds of passing are four to one against you.

     Get in touch with your classmates.  Study together.  Encourage each other.  Share study aids and tips that you find.  (like this article or my math videos)

     Make flash cards.  Trade them with your classmates.  Make a deal with your classmate.  I will make fifty flashcards.  You make fifty flashcards.  We will trade flashcards Tuesday night.  Next Tuesday, we will trade back.   Make copies and do this with several friends.

     At my Toastmasters club,http://fourseasonstoastmasters.com/ we always have a "word of the day" that we are expected to use during the weekly meeting.  Last week's word was salient.  Go to each chapter in your textbook and pick out the ten most salient points of the chapter.  Study these points.  That is what test writers do.  They want to test you on the salient ideas.

     Do not underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam. Last month's pass rate was 61%.  This is not an easy test.  Turn off the TV.  Turn off Facebook.  Turn on the study machine.  Pick up your textbook.  Watch my You Tube videos.
