Pass Fail Rate for North Carolina Real Estate Exam for September 2018

Last month, September 2018, four hundred and fifty two real estate license applicants took the North Carolina real estate exam.  All of these real estate license applicants had already passed a test at an accredited real estate school in North Carolina.  Two hundred and fifty eight of the real estate license applicants passed.  That is a 57% pass rate.  The North Carolina real estate exam is no joke. 

If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam.  please do not underestimate this exam like 43% of the real estate license candidates did last month.  This is a $164 mistake.  That is what it costs every time you take the North carolina real estate exam.  Pass it the first time. 

Here is the problem.  Most test candidates study like they want to baaaaaarely pass.  Their goal is to make a seventy two out of a hundred on the national portion and twenty nine out of forty on the North carolina portion.  At $164 per opportunity, you need to study like you want to make 100% on both parts of the exam. 

Read the textbook.  There are lots of students that go take the state test without having read the textbook.  Many students go take the exam without answering the questions at the end of the chapter.  Many students go spend their $164 when they have not done the practice test in the back of the textbook.  Is $164 a lot of money at your house?  What about $164 x 5 ?  Is that a lot of money at your house? 

Last month, one hundred and fifty two repeat test takers took the North Carolina real estate exam.  These real estate license applicants knew how tough this test is.  They have already taken it once or twice or five times.  Twenty three of those repeat  test takers passed.  That is a fifteen per cent pass rate.  If you are going back for an encore performance, may I suggest a few study tips for you? 

Watch ALL of my North Carolina real estate math videos on You Tube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMdJ-2iHepM&t=18s   This is free.  It is reasonably easy.  There is no math on the North Carolina real estate exam that I do not have a video for.  The North Carolina real estate exam is fifteen per cent math.  Why would you go take a test that is 15% math when you know there is math on it that you do not know how to do?  Learn to do the math before you go. Read the syllabus for the course that you have already passed.  It tells you exactly what math is on the North Carolina real estate test.  How much money have you budgeted to spend taking this test?

Here is another study tip.  Read the "Comments", Appendix A in the textbook. Seventy five per cent of the questions on the North Carolina portion of the test come straight out of the "Comments"  Read the "Comments" ten times.  If you just can not read this BORING material, I have it posted on You Tube.  I will read it to you.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaPLEyKzX24&t=14s  This will take six videos.  More students fail the North Carolina portion of the test than the national portion.  Read the "Comments".  Last month, fifty two per cent of repeat test takers taking only the North Carolina portion of the exam (at $164 per try) passed.  Forty eight per cent will be back one more time spending $164 at the PSI test center.  You can not pass the North Carolina portion of the test if you don't know what is in the "Comments". 

Have you tried my free practice test right here on this blog?  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/04/real-estate-practice-exam-for-north.html  If not, try it before you try thr PSI test at $164 per try.  Have you taken my practice test at www.ncreexam.com  ?  There are two of them, one for the national and one for the state .  Take them both. 

Have you made flashcards? 

Have you taken a state exam review class?
