In Real Estate School, Which is Better? Overconfidence or Under Confidence

     Just before the end of my last real estate pre license class of 2017,  one of the students suggested that we have a pool.  All the students put ten dollars in a jar.  The high grade on the test for the class gets all the money.  Sounds like fun to me.

     Of the twenty six students in the class, only two other students wanted to participate.  The rest of the students did not want to put ten bucks in the jar.  None of the other students were planning on making 100% on their real estate class exam.  They are studying to BARELY pass.

     If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam, pleeeeeesae study like you want to make 100% on the exam.  Study like you put ten dollars in the jar and there is six hundred dollars in the jar.  Study all the time.  Avail yourself to any and all study material that you can find.  Please please please do not underestimate this exam.  Last month the pass ratio was 59% .  That means that 41% of the real estate license applicants that took the test paid $164 to take it http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/12/pass-fail-statistics-for-north-carolina.html   That is the usual pass rate.  This test is hard.  Study for this test like the minimum passing grade is 95%.  Study like your new career depends on your grade.  Study like it costs $164 to take it again.  It does!

again. 

     It tells you in the North Carolina Real Estate Commission publication, "Real Estate Licensing in North Carolina" what is on the test.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4  Study what is on the test.  Here is a link to my video describing this free booklet.  Read this booklet.  Read page 16 through 22 twice.  That is what is on the North Carolina real estate exam.

     It is no mystery what is on the test.  It tells you right in the booklet.  What is a mystery is why don't students study more.  Over study.  Study morning noon and night.

     Read appendix C in your textbook.  More students fail the North Carolina portion of the exam than the national portion.  That is because they don;t read "The Comments" .   Lots of questions come directly from "The Comments".  This is also a free download from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission's website www.ncrec.gov

     If you need help with any of the math that is on the North Carolina real estate exam, I have it all posted on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HbEwoiVBMY&t=538s  It is free.  It is easy.  You do not have to raise your hand and tell all your classmates that you don't understand.  Just watch it again.  Click "like" after you watch it.  Share it with your classmates.

     Share any information and help that you find on the internet with your classmates.  Get a contact list of your fellow students.  After you take the exam, let your students know how it was.  Remind them to bring I.D. to the exam site or they won't let you in.  Remind them NOT to bring a phone to the exam or they won't let you in.  Remind your classmates that it is cold in the exam room even in July.  Hang around with your classmates that are planning on making a 100%.  Get together and study.  Tell your classmates if you think the test in easier in Asheville.

     This test is not easy.  If you study, you will pass.  Have confidence in yourself.  If First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, North Carolina can do anything to help you pass, contact us at www.firstrealestateschool.com or 828 440 1064.  Watch our You Tube videos.  Read some of our other articles.  Leave a comment here.  Help your classmates pass the North Carolina real estate exam.  If you live near Hendersonville and you are looking for a great place to start your career, call me at 828 755 6996.

  1. Hi Mr. Climer, I took the NC Prelicensing class and passed it in December, however when i went to take the exam yesterday I got so confused with some of the verbiage they used. I studied that workbook and exam prep book day in and day out.. however after reading your blog about reading the appendix and reading the comments, I see that was an area i neglected alot. I am going back to take both national and the state portion in 10 days. What is the best way for me to understand that appendix and the comments, so that i can relate to the wording on the exam. I am exausted mentally from studying so much material, i just want to re-focus and get back to the key elements of that exam,, any advice would be truly appreciated.. Thank You

  2. Tameka Are you the Tameka that just purchased my ten dollar exam at www.ncreexam.com ? If so, that is a good start. Also take my free exam right here on this blog. If you have the contact information for your classmates that have taken the exam recently, call them and ask them what they think you should be studying. They might ask you,"Can a veteran's widow get a VA loan? or What is a lis pendens?" Have you watched my math videos on You Tube? The North Carolina real estate exam is 15% math. It is costing you $164 to take the exam again. When you arrive at the exam, leave a recorder or note pad on the seat of your car. If you return to your car with a failure notice, before you crank up the car, write down the questions that you did not know the answer to or the math questions that you did not know how to answer. If you write down,"What is the Machinery Act?" Do not go back at $164 per opportunity without knowing what the machinery act is. Here is an excellent tidbit of advice from my daughter http://floridarealestateinstructor.com/the-most-important-thing-you-can-do-before-you-take-the-florida-real-estate-sales-associate-exam/ Read this article. Overstudy study study Get together with you classmates . Watch my math videos with your classmates. Take any practice exams that you can find. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4&t=14s This booklet that I am talking about in the video is in your textbook on page 638 STUDY STUDY STUDY
