Pass Fail Statistics for the North Carolina Real Estate Exam in May of 2019

     In May of 2019, six hundred and forty eight real estate license applicants took the comprehensive North Carolina real estate exam for the first time.  Three hundred and eighty two of those test takers passed both halves of the comprehensive real estate exam.  The other two hundred and sixty six real estate license applicants will be paying $164 to try again before they get their North Carolina real estate license.  That is a 59% pass rate.

     In May, one hundred sixteen license applicants took the comprehensive exam for the second time or third time or fourth time.  Twenty three of them passed.  That is a twenty two per cent success rate.  Ninety three of those repeat test takers will be paying $164 to try one more time.

Pass the North Carolina real estate exam the first time

     This news may give you a distorted picture of the North Carolina real estate exam.  The North Carolina real estate exam is a two part exam.  Eighty questions are the "national" portion.  Ninety two per cent of the comprehensive test takers passed the "national" portion.  On the "North Carolina" portion, which is forty questions, the pass rate was sixty percent.  You have to pass both halves to get a North Carolina real estate license.  It costs $164 to try again.

     Apparently, more people fail the "North Carolina" portion that the "national" portion.  Here is a study tip if you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam.  On the "North Carolina" portion of the exam, over half the questions come from Appendix A (aka "The Comments") in your textbook.  You must read "the Comments" if you intend to pass the North Carolina real estate exam.

     If you find it just too boring to read, listen to me read it on You Tube.  Here is a link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaPLEyKzX24&t=135s   It is seven videos.  It is not exciting.  It is not fun.  There are no pictures.  The material in "The Comments" is on the North Carolina portion of the North Carolina real estate exam.

     If you want to know if you are ready for the North Carolina real estate exam, take my practice test at www.ncreexam.com .  If you are not making a ninety per cent on my practice exam, take it again until you are.  Study the chapters on agency.  Read the two T contract.  Know what the Conner Act is.  Know what the Machinery Act is.  Know how many members are on the NCREC.  Know the information that is in "The Comments".  It costs $164 to take the test again.

     If you need any help with the North Carolina math, I have it all posted on You Tube.  Put my name Ron Climer North Carolina math into the search bar at You Tube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaPLEyKzX24&t=135s

Pass Fail Statistics for March, 2019 for North Carolina Real Estate Exam

The North Carolina Real Estate Commission released the pass fail statistics for March 2019.  Seven hundred and eight real estate license applicants took the North Carolina real estate exam at a PSI test at one of the fifteen offices throughout the state.  Three hundred eighty two of those applicants passed.  That is is a 54% pass rate for March of 2019.  Three hundred and twenty six of these real estate license applicants will be back paying $164 to take the test again. 

It is expensive to underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam.  The North Carolina real estate exam is in two parts.  There are eighty questions on the "national"  portion of the exam,  There are forty questions on the "North Carolina" portion of the exam. You have to pass both portions to get a North Carolina real estate broker license.  Lots of real estate broker applicants pass the national portion but fail the "North Carolina" portion.  Those real estate license applicants will be taking the "North Carolina" portion again.  They will pay $164 for that experience. 

In March, two hundred and ninety applicants took the "North Carolina" portion for the second or third or fourth time.  One hundred and seventy five passed.  That is 58%.  They all paid $164.

It is not a secret what is on this test.  The North Carolina Real Estate Commission publishes a booklet titled " Real Estate Licensing in North Carolina" .  Here is a video explaining this more thoroughly.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4&t=18s  On page sixteen of this booklet, it tells you exactly what is on the North Carolina real estate exam. 

Over half the questions on the "North Carolina"  portion of the test come from Appendix A in your textbook.  To go pay $164 to take this test without reading Appendix A is foolish.  Appendix A is also called "The Comments".  If you walk out of the exam with a failure notice in your hand, ( You passed the "national".  You failed the "North Carolina"  portion. )  you need to open your textbook before you crank up the car and start reading "The Comments"  and marking things that you saw on your test that you took a few minutes ago.  You will see those same things next time.  Don't go back ( at $164 per try) without knowing how many members of the NCREC must be real estate brokers.  Does that make sense? 

Do not underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam.  

If you find "The Comments" too boring to read, I have read it for you on You Tube.  Here is a link to that.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaPLEyKzX24  There are seven videos of me reading "The Comments".  Read it.  Listen to me read it or pay $164 to try again.  Understand agency.  It is fifteen questions on the exam.  Read "The Comments".

If you want to know if you are ready for the North Carolina real estate exam, go to my practice test at www.ncreexam.com  .  I have two practice exams, one for the "national" portion of the exam and one for the "North Carolina" portion of the exam.  The tuition is ten dollars per exam.  Invest $10 before you invest $164. 

There is no math on the "North Carolina" portion of the exam.  If you need help with the math, I have a dozen You Tube math videos posted on You Tube.  It is free.  If there is math that you don't know how to do, watch the free real estate math videos.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HbEwoiVBMY  The "national" portion of the real estate exam is ten per cent math.  It is hard to pass if you can not do the real estate math.

In North Carolina Real Estate, What is Difference Between Post License and Continuing Education?

When a real estate license applicant goes to real estate school and gets a real estate license in North Carolina, that applicant becomes a "provisional broker" We do not have real estate salespersons in North Carolina.

If a person graduated from First Real Estate School and passed the North Carolina real estate exam, that person would be provisional broker until that person has passed three real estate post license classes.   These post license classes are thirty hours each. 

Post license class is fun at First Real Estate School.  

These thirty hour post license real estate  classes are taught by most real estate schools.  A new real estate licensee can take these classes slowly or quickly.  The slow method would have the new licensee take their first post license thirty hour class BEFORE the first anniversary of passing the North Carolina real estate exam.  Before the second anniversary of getting their North Carolina real estate license, the new provisional broker would be required by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission  www.ncrec.gov  to take a second thirty hour  post license course.  Before that provisional broker celebrated his third anniversary of getting his real estate license, he would need to take a third thirty hour post license class.  That is as slow as a new licensee can go through that process. 

If a new real estate provisional broker wanted to go through this process as fast as possible, that new provisional broker could take these three post license classes very soon after getting their real estate license.  Why would a new real estate broker want to do that? 

When that new provisional broker finishes his third post license real estate class, he becomes a full broker.  He could open his own office if he wanted to. 

Simultaneously, once that provisional broker passes the North Carolina real estate exam, another clock begins to tick, the expiration clock that requires CONTINUING EDUCATION.  Every real estate broker, old or new, in North Carolina is required by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission to take eight hours of continuing education every year in addition to the post license requirement required of new provisional brokers.  Yes, I said in addition.  I did not say in lieu of. 

Every real estate broker's license in North Carolina expires on June 30 every year.  Every real estate broker in North Carolina has to take eight hours of continuing education every year.  At least four hours of that education has to be in a classroom with an instructor.  The first time that a provisional broker renews their real estate license, no continuing education is required.  Starting with a provisional broker's second June 30th, eight hours of  continuing education is required to renew that real estate broker's license. 

New real estate provisional brokers need post license AND continuing education.  Old real estate brokers only need continuing education. 

If you live anywhere near Hendersonville, First Real Estate School at 404 S. Main street.  would be happy to help with these educational requirements.  www.firstrealestateschool.com  Check our website.  Join us for postlicense education or continuing education.

The North Carolina Real Estate Exam Pass Fail Statistics for August 2018

The North Carolina Real Estate Commission just released last month's results for the North Carolina real estate exam.  Here is the news.  In August 2018, six hundred and fifty one real estate license applicants took the North Carolina real estate exam for the first time.  Three hundred and ninety two of those test takers passed.  Two hundred and fifty nine of these real estate license candidates will be paying $164 to try again.  It costs $164 every time a candidate takes the North Carolina real estate exam.  It is a good idea to pass it the first time.  As you can see, in August, only sixty per cent of the exam takers passed it the first time.  Do not underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam.  It is tough. 

     Also in August 2018, one hundred and sixty two repeat test takers took the North Carolina real estate exam for the second or third or fourth or fifth try.  Thirty one of these of these repeat exam takers passed.  That is 19% pass rate.

Pass the North Carolina real estate exam the first time.  

     If you mistakenly believe that the North Carolina real estate exam is easy, think again.  It is not easy.  It is not inexpensive.

     North Carolina probably has the lowest pass rate in America.  The North Carolina real estate exam is a two part exam.  One hundred questions are the "national" portion of the exam.  These are questions that would be answered the same in all fifty states.  This would be questions like. "What is the CFPB?".   The answer would be the same no matter what state you are in.  Forty questions on the North Carolina real estate exam are questions that are unique to North Carolina.  These are questions like,"What is the Machinery Act?".   The other forty nine  states probably do not have a Machinery Act.  A real estate license applicant needs to get 29 of these 40 questions correct to pass the North Carolina portion of the exam.  Of the thirty seven  real estate license applicants that took the exam last month as a repeat test taker at an expense of $164, twenty five of them passed.  That is 68%.

      If you are soon taking the North Carolina  real estate exam, please heed my advice .  OVERSTUDY!    I has been my observation from thirty years of teaching real estate classes that most students want to study just enough to baaaaaarely pass.  May I suggest that you study with an attitude that you want to make 100% on the North Carolina real estate  exam.  Study like you want to get an A plus on the North Carolina exam.  If you fall short of your goal, you will still pass and get a North Carolina real estate license.

     Here is a list of links that I have to help anyone pass the North Carolina real estate exam.  If you are having trouble with any of the math, I have it on You Tube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMdJ-2iHepM  This is one of a dozen videos to help you understand the real estate math on the North Carolina real estate exam.

     If you have NOT read Appendix A in your text book, you have very little chance of  passing the "North Carolina " portion of the exam.  This is DULL reading.   I have read it to you on You Tube.  Check it out.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaPLEyKzX24   I apologize that I can not make this as interesting as a Tom Clancy novel.  When you get to the North Carolina portion of the exam, you will be glad that you sat and listened to me or followed along in the book.  Twenty five of the questions come right off these pages.  Watch all seven of the videos or read Appendix A yourself several times.  Save yourself $164.

     Go back in this same blog and read some of my other posts.  Most of what I write about is about passing the North Carolina real estate exam.  Here is one of my most unique posts.  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/12/what-about-those-trick-questions-on.html   I hope you read this post about trick questions.  Stay in touch with your classmates.  Study together.  Find out when your classmates are taking the exam.  Call them a few hours later and congradulate them on passing.

     If you think you are ready to go spend $164 and "give it a try", take my practice test at www.ncreexam.com  This is a 100 question test with me explaining the answers on video.  It is definetly worthwhile.

     Here is a video with just some general tips on passing the real estate exam the first time.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQXpmazIjeU   Listen to these tips and implement them.  If you don't have contact info for your classmates, get it and stay in touch.

     It costs $164 every time that you take the North Carolina real estate exam.  Pass the first time.www.firstrealestateschool.com

How to Know You Are Ready for The North Carolina Real Estate Exam

     If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate school test or the North Carolina real estate exam, the one with the 57% pass rate,  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2018/07/pass-fail-ratio-for-north-carolina-real.html  , please,please,please invest ten dollars in your study process and take my practice test at www.ncreexam.com . 

     The North Carolina Real Estate Commission charges $164 to take the North Carolina real estate exam every time you take it.  My budget says pass it the first time.  Take my practice test.  If ten bucks is a financial burden, get with one of your classmates and split it fifty fifty.  Meet up at Panera.  Take the test together.  Watch the video answers.  If five bucks is too much to invest in your study aid portfolio, get together with three of your classmates, split it four ways.  If $2.50 is a burden, get with nine of your classmates and order this practice test.  Invest one dollar apiece and save yourself $164.  Do not underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam.  The best pass rate from last year was 62%. 

     When students take my practice test, they leave comments.  Answer this question:

     If you are the grantor, which is the best deed? 

The North Carolina real estate exam is not easy

     A.  general warranty deed
     B.  special warranty deed
     C.  quit claim deed
     D.  bargain and sale deed

     The correct answer is quit claim deed

     I received one comment that was several paragraphs long informing me that the best deed is the general warranty deed.  This student explained several reasons why the general warranty deed was best for the grantee.   The question asked which deed was best for the grantor.  The answer is the quit claim deed creates no liability for the grantor.  I explain that in the videos.  This is a lesson, not only in knowing the material, but also in reading the question thoroughly.  Both are necessary skills.

     The questions on my practice test are very similar to the material on the North Carolina real estate exam.  If you can not pass mine, you probably will be paying $164 to try the real thing again. 

     If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate school test or the North Carolina real estate exam, invest ten bucks and take my test.  If you have any questions about my questions, ask your instructor.  It is better to ask your instructor BEFORE your real estate school exam than after.  Some real estate schools charge you to take their test a second time.  If your instructor does not know why the answer is what it is, call me.  My phone number is right on First Real Estate School's Facebook page.  We are not hard to find.  www.firstrealestateschool.com  

     If this sounds like an advertisement, forgive me.  It is.  If you are not CERTAIN that you are going to make a 100% on the North Carolina real estate exam, you need to take my practice exam.  It is too expensive to make a practice run with the North Carolina real estate exam.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erGSsTBXatc

North Carolina Real Estate Exam Pass Fail Statistics for May 2018

     Yesterday, the North Carolina Real Estate Commission released the pass fail statistics for the North Carolina real estate exam for May.  Six hundred and eighty six real estate license applicants took the exam in May.  Three hundred and ninety three passed.  That is a 57% pass rate.   They all paid $164 for the experience. This North Carolina real estate exam is no picnic.   Two hundred and ninety three of those real estate license applicants will be paying $164 to take the North Carolina real estate exam for the second time.   This exam is not easy.  It is not  inexpensive either.

     Yesterday, I received a sad email from one of my recent  First Real Estate School graduates in Hendersonville.  www.firstrealestateschool.com .  She told me that she took the North Carolina real estate exam in Asheville.  She told me that she felt that she was prepared.  She told me that she missed the general portion of the exam by five points.  She missed the North Carolina section by five points.  She asked me if I had any additional study aids that could help her pass on her second attempt at the North Carolina real estate exam.

     I replied to her email.  I asked her if she had taken my practice exam at www.ncreexam.com .  I asked her if she had watched ALL of my free North Carolina real estate math videos on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HbEwoiVBMY  Why would anyone go pay $164 to take the North Carolina real estate test if they don't know how to amortize a mortgage when given principal balance and monthly payments and interest rate?

If you don't know how to:

compute excise tax
compute seller's net check
compute buyer's cash to close
compute commission
compute value when given NOI and capitalization rate
compute adjusted basis for an investor
compute square feet of a house with a bay window
compute per cent of profit
pro rate taxes and rent and HOA fees
compute adjustments for CMA
compute equity dividend rate
compute price per acre when given price and lot dimensions

when would be a good time to learn?  Before or after you pay $164 to "try" the North Carolina real estate exam?   I think before!  All of this is on You Tube.  It is free.  You know you are going to see these arithmetic questions on the exam.  Turn off the TV.  Turn off Facebook.  Turn on You Tube.

North Carolina real estate exam is not easy

Why don't students call their classmates and ask them what was on their exam when they took it yesterday?  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/12/what-about-those-trick-questions-on.html   Why don't real estate exam candidates that fail write down the questions that were on their test BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE PARKING LOT OF THE EXAM CENTER?  You will see those same questions next time.



     A exam candidate sees a test question like, "What does T.R.I.D. stand for?"  That license applicant has no idea what the answer is.  When would be a good time to learn what TRID is?  I say BEFORE you write that next $164 check.  It cost $164 the third time that you take the test.

     I asked my young student if she bought the  "Guide to Passing the AMP Real Estate Exam" book that I had available for sale in out classroom.  I asked her if she bought the "Hiking The Real Estate Trail"  CD program by Terry Wilson that I had available for sale in the classroom.  This is as painless as learning can be.  It is nine CDs .  Terry tells you what you need to know to pass the exam.  Listen while you drive.  https://www.amazon.com/Hiking-Real-Estate-Trail-Trailhead/dp/1468090968

     I asked my young student if she bought the math book I had available in class from 3 wise www.3WiseTeachers.com

If you are near Hendersonville, North Carolina , join us

teachers.  Many of my past students said it was a big help.

     I asked my young student if she had read Appendix A in the textbook at least ten times. It would be a good idea to memorize Appendix A.   I asked her if she has watched my video that tells you exactly what is on the North Carolina real estate exam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4 


     If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam, do not underestimate this exam.  It is expensive to fail.  You will have to study to pass.  Why not do your studying before you take the exam the first time?

Pass Fail Statistics For the North Carolina Real Estate Exam for March, 2018

     Hooray!  The news is good.  The North Carolina Real Estate Commission released the pass fail statistics for March 2018 today.  It is the best pass ratio in twelve months.  The worst was January of 2018 with a whopping 48% pass rate.  The North Carolina real estate exam is not easy. 

     In March of 2018, seven hundred and fifty three real estate license candidates attempted the North Carolina real estate comprehensive exam for the first time.  Four hundred and ninety one of those applicants passed.  That is a 65% pass rate.  WOW!   That is the best pass rate in a long time. 

     I think the reason for the improvement is the $164 re take fee that the North Carolina Real Estate Commission charges people that take the real estate exam for the second time.  I constantly tell my students at First Real Estate School in Hendersonville that it costs $164 every time you take the North Carolina real estate exam.  That is a lot of money in my neighborhood. 

     I urge my students to study like you intend to make a 100% on the real estate exam.  Don't study like you intend to barely pass. 

     I urge my students to read the chapters before we get to them in class.  I tell my students about study aids that we have for sale, like the 350 page book published by the same people that publish our textbook, " Guide to Passing the AMP Real Estate Exam".  AMP is the people that give the real estate exam in North Carolina.  This book is full of explanations and sample test questions to help anyone pass this exam the first time.  You can find it on my website at www.firstrealestateschool.com 

     I tell my real estate students about the nine CD program that we sell that they can listen to in the car or home to study effortlessly.  It helps them review the points that we covered in class. 

If you can not pass the exam, everyone in this picture is smarter than you

     I also tell my real estate students that I have posted twenty real estate math problems on You Tube to help them study the real estate math.  The North Carolina real estate exam is 15% math.  Why would anyone show up to take the exam without knowing how to amortize a mortgage or determine value given capitalization rate and NOI ?  It cost $164 to try again.  It does not matter that you failed by one point.  It doesn't matter if you passed by one point.  Learn the math.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HbEwoiVBMY 

     I have a practice test right here on this blog.  I also have practice exams at www.ncreexam.com  .  On these exams, the answer key is a video of me explaining the answers. 

     The North Carolina tells us exactly what is on the North Carolina real estate exam in their booklet, "Real Estate Licensing in North Carolina"   It is a free download from the NCREC.   www.ncrec.gov .  Here is a video describing it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4&t=10s   This booklet is also published in your textbook. 

     Here is a idea.  Invite several of your classmates over and watch several of my math videos.  or take my practice test together.  Studying together is a great activity.  Get three to six of your classmates together and make flashcards.  Read this: http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/12/what-about-those-trick-questions-on.html   Here is another idea.  Ask your classmates when they are taking the exam.  Call them a few hours later and congratulate them.  Stay in touch with your classmates.  Talk to them about where you are going to work and why. 

     Before you spend your $164, read the glossary.  Read the "Comments" on page 591 or page 603 in your textbook.  There is a mountain of test material in the "Comments".  It cost $164 the next time that you take the North Carolina real estate exam. 

     Please, please, please study like you intend to make a hundred per cent.  Do not study like you want to barely pass.  If I or First Real Estate School can help, contact us at www.firstrealestateschool.com. 

     Here is another statistic.  Last month, March 2018, eighty seven test applicants with a real estate license in another state took the North Carolina forty question exam to get their North Carolina real estate license.  Thirty of these applicants passed.  If you are soon taking that test Mr, Out of State licensee, check out my practice test at www.ncreexam.com   It is $164 every time you take the test. 

If I Fail The North Carolina Real Estate Exam, Is It My Instructor's Fault

     One of my pre license real estate students called me today to tell me that he had failed the state portion of the North Carolina real estate exam for the fourth time.  It costs $164 every time that you take that exam.

     I asked him, "What was the first thing you did  after leaving the exam site with a failure notice in your hand?".  " I don't remember.", he replied.  " What did I recommend that you do before you crank up your car if you leave the exam with a failure notice ?", I asked.  He told me," I can not remember you telling us anything to do.".

     Anyone that has sat in my real estate classroom for seventy five hours has been told what to do when you fail the North Carolina real estate exam. Anyone that can not remember this probably was not listening in class.  Do not sit in class and not listen.  You have taken time away from your family to attend class.  Listen and take notes. 

Pass your North Carolina real estate exam the first time.

     What does Ron climer want you to do when you fail the North Carolina real estate exam?  What does Ron Climer want you to do if you fail before you start your car in the parking lot of the test center?   Ron Climer wants you to leave a recorder or writing pad on the seat of the car before you go in the test center.  If you come out with a failure notice in your hand, start talking to that recorder or writing down every question that you saw that you did not know the answer to.

     Tell yourself what you did not know.  You don't have to remember the whole question.  Just write down," What is the Machinery Act?".  "When can we close without using a TRID closing statement?" , " What does T.R.I.D. stand for?"  "How many members of the N.C.R.E.C. must be real estate brokers?"   If you can not remember, at least, half of the questions that were on your real estate test ten minutes later, no wonder you are having problems.

     When you go back to take the real estate exam again at $164 per chance, you better know the answer to the ones that you did not know the answer to last time.  You will see them again.  Here is a tip.  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/12/what-about-those-trick-questions-on.html   Read this article.

     Have you read the "Comments"?   Have you read the "Comments"?  Have you read the "Comments"?  I hope you know what the "Comments" are.  In the ninth edition of Dearborn's textbook, "Modern Real Estate Practice in North Carolina"  the "Comments" are on page 614 through 637.  It is Appendix A.  It is practically an outline of the real estate exam.  If you want to know what is on the state portion of the test, read the "Comments".  Here is  a video to watch if you want more detail.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4 

     If you fail the North Carolina real estate exam, do not blame your instructor.  Do not blame the N.C.R.E.C.   Do not blame the AMP.  Even if it is your instructor's fault or the N,C.R.E.C. 's fault or AMP;s fault, who is effected most by your failure?   You are.  You are the one that has to pay $164 to take the test again. You are the one that has to keep studying.  You are the one that has to delay your career change until you solve this problem.

     Turn off the T.V.   Sell your Playstation.  Study like you want to make 100% on the exam.  Forget about barely passing.  Study like you want to make a 100% so you can see your picture on the front of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission's "Bulletin".

     If you want to pass, do what your instructor suggests.  Do most students do this?

     When computerized testing was new, I was teaching real estate classes in Florida.  I started telling my students that if they would bring a small box of chocolates to give to the test monitor and ask the monitor to give them the "easy" test , the monitor would give them the "easy" test.

     I am not sure if this is true in North Carolina.  I know this.  When someone calls me and tells me that they failed, my first question is," Did you take the chocolates?".  The answer is always no.  Spend three bucks and take the chocolates. 

     If you think you are ready for the North Carolina real estate exam, take my practice test at www.ncreexam.com   .   Take my practice exam over and over until you are making a 98%.   Watch the videos that explain the answers.

     If you can not amortize a mortgage, if you can not compute % of profit, if you can not compute square feet of a house with a bay window, if you can not compute a seller's proceeds at closing, if you can not compute how much a buyer brings to closing, if you can not determine value of a income producing property given appropriate capitalization rate and NOI , If you can not pro rate taxes and HOA fees, if you can not compute excise taxes, you need to watch my free You Tube videos that show you how to do the math that is on the North Carolina real estate exam.  You can't just hope that you won't get a question asking you to compute the interest rate when given the time and principal and interest paid of a loan.  It cost $164 to take the test again.  Here is a link to one of thirty videos that I posted  just to help you pass the first time.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3TtXSnMx9s 

     Between now and your exam date, if you get the urge to relax and watch TV, watch one of these thirty videos instead.  Invite a couple of your classmates over to watch with you.  Stay in touch with your classmates.

     One last thing!   Go to the bank and get eight twenty dollar bills and four ones.  Tell your family that if you pass the exam the first time like 57% of the people do, we are taking this $164 out to dinner.  Here is a link to last month's pass fail statistics.  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2018/01/pass-fail-ratio-for-north-carolina-real.html 

     Get your family's support.  Let them know that this is not easy.  One hundred and sixty four dollars is a lot of money at my house.  Do not underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam.  Please do not take any comfort in that barely  passing grade that you got at real estate school.

Pass Fail Ratio for The North Carolina Real Estate Exam for December, 2017

    The North Carolina Real Estate Commission released the December 2017 statistics for the North Carolina real estate exam today.

     Seven hundred forty seven real estate license applicants took the North Carolina real estate exam in December 2017.  Four hundred and fifty nine passed the comprehensive real estate exam.  That is a sixty one per cent pass rate.  That is the second best month in 2017.  The worst month in 2017 had a 52% pass rate.

     The North Carolina real estate exam is not easy.  It is not cheap either.  Those applicants that did not pass will be back at the test center paying $164 to take this exam again.  Let me explain how the North Carolina real estate exam works.

    When an applicants takes the North Carolina real estate exam the first time, there are 140 questions.  One hundred of the questions are in the "national"  portion of the test.  Forty of the questions are in the "North Carolina "  portion of the test.  The "national" portion of the exam is questions that are the same everywhere, like "What are the seven protected groups under the Fair Housing Act?".  A test applicant would need to get 71 of these questions correct.   Forty questions are on the "North Carolina "  portion of the test.  A test applicant would need to get 29 of these 40 questions correct to pass.  These are questions that are unique to North Carolina like, "How many members of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission must be a licensed real estate broker?".

The North Carolina real estate exam is not easy

      If a real estate exam applicant fails either one of these portions of the North Carolina real estate  exam, that applicant will be back at the test center paying $164 to try again.

     You may wonder how do the repeat test takers fare.  In December of 2017, forty three people took the "national"  portion for the second or third or fourth time.  Twenty eight license applicant passed.  That is a 65% pass rate.  Two hundred forty six applicants took the "North Carolina "   portion for the second, third or fifth time.  One hundred and thirty seven passed.  That is a 58% pass rate.

     Do not underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam.  

     If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam, practice on my practice real estate  exam at www.ncreexam.com   I have a practice exam for the "national" portion.  I have a practice exam for the "North Carolina" portion also.  You can take them as many times as you like.  I explain the answers on video.

     If you are having any trouble with the real estate math that is on the North Carolina real estate test, I have a video posted on You Tube to help you.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMdJ-2iHepM&t=94s  In fact, I have fifteen videos on You Tube to help you understand the real estate math that is on the North Carolina real estate exam.  The test is fifteen per cent math.  It is hard to pass if you can not do the arithmetic.  Watching these videos is the easiest way to learn the math.  Share these videos with your classmates.  It is free.  It is easy.

     I have a free real estate practice exam at http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/04/real-estate-practice-exam-for-north.html   Take this exam like an exam.  If you are not passing this, you certainly will not pass the North Carolina real estate exam.

     Study, study, overstudy.  Study like you want to make 100% on the North Carolina real estate exam.  Read some of my other articles here on this blog.  Leave a comment, especially if you have already taken the exam.  Let other readers know what the exam is like.

Help Passing The North Carolina Real Estate Exam In Asheville

     Is the North Carolina real estate exam hard?  The North Carolina real estate exam is 140 multiple choice questions.  One hundred of the questions are what the test makers call "general " questions.  Forty of the questions are "North Carolina" questions.  To pass, a real estate test applicant has to get 71 of the 100 "general" questions correct and 29 of the 40 "North Carolina"   questions correct.

     Last month, the pass rate for the exam was fifty nine per cent.  That means if 100 people took the exam, fifty nine passed.  Forty one exam applicants will be paying $164 to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission to try again.  I think it is important to pass the first time.

First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, North Carolina

     Does it matter what real estate school you attend?  It is the instructor that matters.  Some are good.  Some are not so good.  How can you know if an instructor does a good job?  Read the real estate instructor's reviews on Facebook and Google.  Watch the videos that the instructor has posted on You Tube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HbEwoiVBMY&t=70s

     How long is the real estate broker's course in North Carolina?  The North Carolina Real Estate Commission requires the real estate broker's class to be seventy five hours long.  There is a lot of material to be learned.  You need to read the textbook.  You need to study outside the classroom.   You need to expose yourself to practice exams through out the course.  You need to get together with your class mates and study together. Here is a short example of why. http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/12/what-about-those-trick-questions-on.html   Creating study groups is a wonderful helpful way to increase your learning effort.

     After you pass your real estate school exam at First Real Estate School www.firstrealestateschool.com , you have to pass a 140 question exam given by AMP, a testing service contracted by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.  This is the exam with the 59% pass rate. http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/12/pass-fail-statistics-for-north-carolina.html .

     Can I take the North Carolina real estate broker course online?  The North Carolina Real Estate Commission believes that real estate can not be learned on line.  You need to attend a brick and mortar real estate school with a live instructor licensed by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.  If you disagree with that opinion, feel free to contact them at www.ncrec.gov .  I am certain they would love to hear from you.

     There are lots of study aids available online to help real estate students  pass their real estate course. Here is a word of caution.  If the "practice test" or "cram course" online is NOT from a North Carolina real estate school, be suspicious.   It likely has wrong information or useless information.  First Real Estate School in Hendersonville has a couple of practice exams that will help anyone that is soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam.  The free one is at http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/04/real-estate-practice-exam-for-north.html   and the ten dollar one is at www.ncreexam.com   Check those out if you are soon taking the test.

     Is the math on the North Carolina real estate exam difficult?  Also posted online is my free You Tube real estate math videos to help anyone that is planning on passing the real estate test the first time.  The test is fifteen per cent math.  Many real estate instructors teach the math rather rapidly.  I have posted any math that you need to know on You Tube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMdJ-2iHepM&t=80s   It is hard to pass the North Carolina real estate exam if you cannot do the math.  The cool thing about having it on You Tube is you don't have to raise your hand in class and ask questions.  Just hit rewind.  Any math that is on the exam, I have posted on You Tube.

     Can I earn an extraordinary income selling real estate?  The answer to that is a very loud YES!   The real estate industry is full of people that spent twenty years earning a mediocre income.  Then they went to real estate school, got their real estate license , doubled their income and never looked back. 

     Almost all real estate is sold on commission.  If you want to earn $50,000 per year, you can do that in real estate.  If you want to earn $250,000 per year, you can do that as well.  How hard you work depends on how hard you want to work.  It is not the same answer for everyone.  The opportunity is there for anyone.

Can Real Estate Agents Learn To Be Creative?

     I love having my grown daughter live forty miles ( instead of 500 miles) away from me.  She moved to Asheville last year. 

     I talk to her more.  I see her more.  We learn from each other more. 

     One of the biggest advances in my business occurred last year when I created my Teachable course about passing the North Carolina real estate exam at Amy's behest.  To say the least, this was a big chore for me.  My daughter, Dr. Amy Climer aka Ms. Creative, suggested that I create this course. 

     "Dad, It will be easy.  It is practically done for you."  she told me.  By the time I was through getting my first course up on Teachables, I felt like I had become a computer expert.  I learned about Hand Brake  and several other programs that I did not even know existed .  I must admit that the second course was much, much, much easier to create. 

     Now, it is done.  Once you learn something, you have it.  It is yours.  You own it. 

     Knowledge truly is power.   

We are all creative.  Create a new career in Hendersonville.  

     

     Having this course available gives me a place to send strangers when they call me and ask me for help to pass their North Carolina real estate exam.  www.ncreexam.com  Here is a link if you need inexpensive help. 

     I received a call yesterday from a stranger in the flat end of the state.  He told me that he passed the national portion of the North Carolina real estate exam but he failed the North Carolina portion.  He had taken the state only portion four times ( at $164 per opportunity).  I suggested that he  take my ten dollar test at www.ncreexam.com   He thanked me.  He only needed a couple of more points to pass this forty question test.   It felt good to be able to help someone that needed help with something that I had created.

     If I had not taken the effort to create this course six months ago, I would not have it available to help him today.  Creativity lasts forever. 

     Put some creativity in your life .  Put some creativity in your sales team's life.  Teach them to be more creative.  Teach them to solve problems. 

     My daughter has taught me a lot about creativity.  That is what she does.  She teaches teams to solve problems.  If your team needs more creativity, contact her at www.climerconsulting.com  .

The North Carolina State Only Exam for Out of State Real Estate Licensees

     If a real estate licensee from another state wants to get a North Carolina real estate license, the North Carolina Real Estate Commission has a special program for these people.  This out of state Realtor does not have to attend the seventy five hour real estate class at First Real Estate School in Hendersonville that most real estate license applicants are required to pass.

     These out of state real estate applicants do not have to take the 140 question exam that my students take.

The North Carolina real estate exam is not easy

     These out of state real estate licensees only have to pass a 40 question test testing their knowledge of North Carolina laws and customs.  Sounds simple.  It is simple.  The North Carolina Real Estate Commission tells you exactly what is on this forty question test on page 14 of their  booklet," Real Estate Licensing in North Carolina".  Here is a link if you want a free download.  www.ncrec.gov .

     The pass rate for this forty question exam is 22%.  That means if a hundred people took it, 22 passed and 78 will be paying $164 to take it again.  If you wonder if you can pass, try my practice exam at www.ncreexam.com .  Download the booklet from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission first.  Study page 14.

     The number one mistake that out of state licensees make is to believe that what they already know is going to help them.  It won't.  You need to know North Carolina stuff.

     When real estate students from North Carolina go take the exam, there are 140 questions.  One hundred are from the "general" section and forty are from the "North Carolina" section.  That real estate license applicant has to pass both sections.  Many students pass the "general" section and fail the "North Carolina" section.  There is a good way to waste $164.

     That applicant will be going back to PSI and paying $164 to take the "North Carolina"  section again.  That applicant needs to check out my practice exam at www.ncreexam.com

In Hendersonville, What To Do When You Graduate from Real Estate School

     You have done the hard part.  You have graduated from real estate school in Hendersonville, North Carolina.  Last month, only 59% of the real estate exam applicants passed the North Carolina real estate exam.  Read my previous article. 

     A career opportunity is calling to you.  Please come interview with us at Keller Williams Realty at 404 S. Main Street in Hendersonville. 

     You remember, in real estate class, we learned how to compute commissions.  The commission split between the company and the new rookie real estate broker is not the same everywhere.  At Keller Williams Realty, we pay an ambitious new real estate broker or an experienced veteran real estate broker the same way.  The new person starts at 70% of the commission that she generates.  This split goes to 100%.  Call me if you need more details.  My phone is 828 755 6996 . 

     A most important concern that a new real estate broker should have is about training.  Keller Williams Mountain Partners will train a new real estate broker better than than they can possibly get trained anywhere else. 

     We have a basic training class that we call "Ignite".  You will learn prospecting skills and presentation skills and personal skills.  You will learn how to do all the paper work and other work that it really takes to get a transaction from "Hello" to closing.  "Ignite" is extraordinary to say the least. 

It starts at First Real Estate School

     Keller Williams has a plethora of advanced training and technical training.  No industry has been changed more than real estate by technology.  I mentioned paper work in the previous paragraph.  We don't use paper anymore. We still call it paperwork.  The way real estate business is done is rapidly changing.  Methods that worked like a charm yesterday are obsolete today.  Technology training is essential and constant. 

     A pleasant work environment is a bonus at Keller Williams on Main Street in Hendersonville .  Our business philosophy is the wall paper in the lobby.  Win win permeates all of our relationships at Keller Williams.  Agents help each other.  Agents help buyers to find their dream home.  Agents help sellers to get on to the next house.  Hendersonville's Keller Williams office is a very nice place to work and start a new real estate career.

If you are soon taking this test, use my practice test as practice www.ncreexam.com The biggest problem that out of state people have is the false belief that what they know from their home state will help them with this North Carolina only exam.  What is the likelihood that an out of state applicants would know how many members are on the North Carolina Real Estate Commission?  How many of those members have to be real estate brokers?   There is little or nothing that they learned in their home state that will help them on this exam.

Qualfying Ratios Explained If You Are Applying For A House Mortgage

Can you qualify for a house mortgage in Hendersonville, North Carolina?  Qualifying for a mortgage is not a mystery.  It is common sense.

If you and you spouse earn $10,000 per month, does it make sense to you that you can not afford a $10,000 per month mortgage payment?  Of course you can not.  You would certainly be able to afford a $2800 ( PITI ) per month payment.  Your house payment would be 28% of your gross income.

The bank figured out a long time ago that most people will make their house payment if the total house payment is less than 28% of their total income. This is called housing expense ratio.  The bank wants your house payment to be less than 28% of your income.   If your gross income were $5000 per month, the bank would want your maximum house payment to be $1400 per month.

This seems simple enough.  There is another factor.  It is called total obligation ratio.  The way this works is the bank is concerned with your total monthly recurring obligations.

Qualifying ratios are important when getting a morgage

Let's go back to our hero that is earning $10,000 per month gross between him and his spouse.  The banks wants ALL of his payments to be less than 36% of his gross income.

Let's assume he is driving a car with a $300 a month payment .  His wife has a $200 per month car payment also.  His Visa card has a minimum payment of $100.  His Kohls credit card has a minimum payment of $100.  His Macys credit card has a minimum payment of $100.  His Sears credit  card has a minimum payment of $100.  The payment on his boat is $200 per month.

He applies to the bank for a mortgage loan to buy a new house.  The bank takes his $10,000 per month income and multiplies it by .36.  The maximum total obligations that our hero can qualify for is $3600.  Our hero has $1000 in obligations already.  The bank subtracts the $1000 from the $3600.  Our hero can qualify for $2600 per month , not $2800 based on his housing expense ratio.

Due to his other obligations, he can only qualify for $2600 house payment.  This is called total obligation ratio.  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/01/qualifying-for-real-estate-mortgage-in.html  Here is a link to more insight.

How can he get the house that he wants that costs $2800 per month?  He can put more money down to lower his monthly payments or sell his boat or pay off a couple of those credit cards.

Debt is the biggest problem in qualifying for a mortgage loan.  If you are planning on buying a house soon, start paying off debt and incur no new debt.

If you live anywhere near Hendersonville, North Carolina and want to buy a new house, call me at 828 755 6996 .  I will get you started.  If you are interested in a career selling real estate, our company, Keller Williams Realty is looking for new real estate agents.  Contact me at www.firstrealestateschool.com   I can get you started with that also. 

How Many Questions Are On The North Carolina Real Estate Exam?

     In order to get your North Carolina real estate license, you have to attend a 75 hour real estate class at an approved real estate school in North Carolina.  This must be done in a live classroom with a live real estate  instructor.  On line courses are taboo for pre license real estate students.

A night class at First Real Estate School in Hendersonville

     The exam for this class has 112 questions.  Most approved real estate schools use the exam that is written by the staff of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission.  The school decides what is a passing grade.  At First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, North Carolina, a 75% is passing.  www.firstrealestateschool.com   That is 84 correct out of 112.

     After you get out of real estate school, there is a 140 question test called the North Carolina Real Estate Exam that every real estate license applicant has to pass.  It comes in two parts.  The 100 question "general" exam and the 40 question "North Carolina Only" exam.  If you fail either one of these exams, you will be required to pay $164 to try again.  I suggest that you pass the first time.

     If you would like a sample of the questions or if you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam, check out my sample test at www.ncreexam.com If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam, be prepared.  The pass rate is 59%.

How Long Does It Take To Get A Real Estate License in North Carolina?

     In North Carolina, to get a real estate license the first thing you have to do is attend a seventy five hour class at an approved real estate school.

     In North Carolina, a student can only attend real estate school for a maximum of thirty hours per week.  This is the rule from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission in Raleigh.

     In North Carolina, you can only take the approved real estate pre license class in a live classroom with a live instructor.  On line classes are taboo in North Carolina for pre license real estate students.

     After you finish your seventy five hour course and pass the test for that class, you can apply to the North Carolina Real Estate Commission to take the North Carolina real estate exam.  www.ncrec.org

     You will have already passed the pre license real estate course.  You now have to pass another 140 question  test on the same material.  There is a fee for taking this exam every time you take it.  Pass it the first time. If you apply for this promptly upon finishing your real estate class, you could be taking this exam less than a week later.   When you pass this test, you will have a North Carolina real estate
