Pass Fail Statistics for The North Carolina Real Estate Exam for February 2019

     In February of 2019, four hundred and two real estate license applicants  took the North Carolina real estate exam for the first time.  All of these real estate license applicants passed a seventy five hour  real estate course at an accredited real estate school in North Carolina.  Two hundred and twelve of these applicants passed.  The rest of them will be back at the PSI test center, paying $164 to take the exam again.  That is a 52% pass rate.  If you are an pessimist, that is a 48% failure rate.

     This North Carolina real estate exam is not easy.  It is not inexpensive.  It cost $164 every time you take it.  Overstudying seems like a good idea.

     How do the repeat test takers do? In February, two hundred and two repeat test takers took the North Carolina real estate exam for the second or third or fourth time.  Thirty five exam candidates passed.   They all paid $164 every time they took the North Carolina real estate exam.  That is a 17% pass rate.  This test is not easy.
The North Carolina real estate test is not easy

     It would appear that the repeat exam candidates would do better.  They have already seen the test.  They know how hard it is.  They know that the answers look very similar.  It seems that they would fare better.  This is not true.  What is true is that the applicants that failed underestimated the North Carolina real estate exam.  They think they are ready.

     They think they are ready even though they have not done any practice tests like the one in the back of their real estate textbook or the free practice test that I have posted at http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/04/real-estate-practice-exam-for-north.html  This is free.  This is easy.  This will give any applicant a warning if they need one.  Plenty of applicants go take the exam at $164 per opportunity without taking this FREE practice exam.  Why?  It is a mystery to me.  I have another practice exam at www.ncreexam.com .  You should be making a 95% on my practice exam before you spend $164 to practice at the PSI test center.  Does that seem right to you?  Answer ALL the questions at the end of the chapters in your real estate textbook.

     There is no mystery about what is on the North Carolina real estate exam.  The North Carolina Real Estate Commission publishes a forty page booklet that tells us EXACTLY what is on the real estate exam.  Many real estate exam applicants go pay $164 to take the exam without even glancing at this information in this booklet.  Here is a video that I made with more information about that.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4  Check this out.  If you are studying, be certain that you are studying the right thing.

     The North Carolina real estate exam is broken into two parts:  The "national" portion which is one hundred questions and the "North Carolina" portion which is forty questions .  An applicant can make a 100% on one portion and miss the other portion by one point.  That applicant will be paying $164 to take that failed portion again.  This may not seem fair.  That is the way it is.  Far more people fail the North Carolina portion than the national portion.  You either know what the Conner act is or you don't.  You either know what the Machinery act is or you don't.  You either know how many members are on the N.C.R.E.C. or you don't.

     In your textbook in Appendix A, there is about half of what you need to know to pass the North Carolina portion of the test.  Many test candidates go take the exam without reading Appendix A, "The Comments".  Why would anyone do that?  Read "The Comments" in Appendix A in your textbook.  It is boring.  It is dull.  It is on the test.  If you don't want to read it yourself, you can listen to me read it on You Tube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaPLEyKzX24  There are seven of these videos.  Read it yourself or listen to me read it.  This material is certainly on the North Carolina real estate exam.

     The national portion of the exam is 100 questions.  Fifteen percent of those one hundred questions are math.  An applicant needs to be able to compute interest and equity dividend rate and amortization and excise tax and net listings and commissions.  I have all of the this posted in a series of videos on You Tube.  Any math that is on the North Carolina real estate exam is posted on You Tube.  Watch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HbEwoiVBMY&t=58s  Watch the six videos where I am wearing the black T shirt.  Math is fifteen percent of the national portion of the exam.

     Make studying a team sport.  Get together with your classmates.  Share ideas and study aids that you have found online.  Help each other.  Since I work at Keller Williams Realty, this seems natural to me.  We encourage our students to study together and pass together. 

     Here is a super simple obvious tip.  Read the textbook.  There are plenty of test applicants that go take the test ( at $164 per opportunity) when they have not read the textbook.  Yes, I mean read every word of the textbook including the glossary.  Read the textbook.  Turn off the TV.  Turn off Facebook.  Read the textbook.  If you are still in real estate school, read the chapter that you know your instructor will be covering next class session.  Write questions in the margin.  Ask them in class.  Read the real estate textbook. 

     Make yourself some flashcards.  Make a couple of hundred.  Take a 3x5 card.  Write Four things the N.C.R.E.C. can do as punishment on one side of the card.  Put the answer on the back.  Use these all the time until your exam.  Write What are riparian rights on one side of the card.  Put the answer on the back. 

     Study, Study, Study. 

     When you get your North Carolina real estate license, if you're looking for a great place to start your new career, let me personally invite you to interview with Keller Williams Realty.  This is such a pleasant place to work and start a new career.  A new licensee could not ask for better training or peer support.  Please call me at 828 755 6996.  I will have a team leader from an office near you to contact you.  You will thank me later. 

     First things first.  Pass the N.C.R.E.C. exam.  Watch my You Tube videos.  Take my practice exam.  Study.  Study.  Study.  Stay in touch with your classmates.  Gather their contact information while you are still in class.  Call them and congratulate them when they pass. 

     If you are anywhere near Asheville or  Hendersonville, join us at First Real Estate School www.firstrealestateschool.com   for your post license class.

North Carolina Real Estate Exam Pass Fail Statistics for February 2018

     The North Carolina Real Estate Commission released the pass fail statistics for February 2018 today.

     In February, three hundred and eighty nine real estate license applicants paid $164 to attempt the North Carolina real estate exam for the first time.  The North Carolina real estate exam is 140 questions.  One hundred of the questions are the national portion.  Forty of the questions are the North Carolina portion.  If you don't answer 72 of the 100  questions on the national portion and 29 of the 40 questions on the state portion correctly, you will fail.  You do not want to go back.  You want to pass the first time.  In February, two hundred and twenty seven of the test takers passed both portions.  One hundred and sixty one of these real estate license applicants will be paying $164 to try again.  That is a 58% pass rate.  This North Carolina real estate test is no joke.  It is tough. www.ncrec.gov

     One hundred and sixty four dollars is considered a lot of money at my house.

     I can understand how a real estate test applicant might fail the first time.  Maybe their real estate instructor did not tell them that the North Carolina real estate exam is TOUGH.  Maybe no one told them about the "tricky" questions on the North Carolina real estate exam.   Read this: http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/12/what-about-those-trick-questions-on.html

     Maybe no one told him about my practice test at www.ncreexam.com .  My practice test will tell you if you are ready for the North Carolina real estate exam.  My practice test also has a video
First Real Estate School in Hendersonville
explanation of the answers.  It is worth the ten bucks.  If you are on a tight budget, I have a free test at
http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/04/real-estate-practice-exam-for-north.html   If you are on a really tight budget, study like you intend to make 100% on the North Carolina real estate test.  It costs $164 every time you take it.

     Maybe no one told those repeat test takers about my FREE You Tube videos that show you how to do any math that you may encounter on the North Carolina real estate exam.  The exam is ten per cent math.  If you can not amortize a mortgage when given the balance and interest rate and monthly payment factor, when would be a good time to learn?  You could learn this before you go take the state exam.  You could wait until after you have done your $164 practice run and you are absolutely certain that it is one of the questions on the test.  If you can not determine how much is the before tax cash flow on a ten unit building given vacancy rate and expenses and debt service and rent, when would be a good time to learn?  Watch one.  There are thirty.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMdJ-2iHepM&t=52s  If you fail by one point, it costs $164 to take the test again.

     Maybe no one told these 161 unsuccessful test takers that staying in touch with your classmates in a very good idea.

     What about those repeat test takers?  How did they do last month?  In February, one hundred and fifty seven real estate license applicants paid the North Carolina Real Estate Commission $164 to try the comprehensive test again.  Twenty seven of them passed.  That is a 17% pass rate.  Forty eight repeat test takers paid $164 to take only the national portion of the exam again. Twenty six of them passed.  That is 54%.  Twenty two of those repeaters will be repeaters again.   Two hundred and ten repeaters paid $164 to take the North Carolina only portion of the exam.  One hundred and twenty one passed.  That is a 58% pass rate.

     I can understand how a first time test taker could underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam, especially if that first timer had not been warned by his real estate instructor or by reading an article such as this.  I can understand the first timer.  How can anyone that is paying $164 to try again, underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam?  A repeater has been there.  A repeat test taker has already seen the questions.  Questions like, " Which of the following groups are protected by the Fair Housing Act?"  Please put the correct answer in the comments.

A. race, color, religion. gender, national origin, familial status, handicap
B. race, color, religion, sex, creed, national origin, familial status
C. race, religion, sexual orientation,  color, national origin, familial status, handicap
D.  race, color, religion, age, sex, martial status, handicap

     How can a repeat test taker see that question on their own North Carolina real estate exam and return for another $164 chance without looking up the answer in the book or calling a classmate or calling their instructor to be certain that if I get that one again, I will be ready?  If you have not read my article, "What To Do When You Fail The North Carolina Real Estate Exam in Asheville" .  Here is a link .  If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam, read it.  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/11/what-to-do-when-you-fail-north-carolina.html

     There is so much help on the internet.  There is no excuse for failing the North Carolina real estate exam twice.  You can not blame your school or your instructor, or spouse, or boss, or the N.C.R.E.C.

     I offer my students books and CDs and practice tests and videos and good luck charms.  Most of my students do not take advantage of even the free stuff.  I suggest to my students that they share study aids that they discover on the internet with their classmates.  I suggest to all of my students that they get contact info from all of their classmates and stay in touch.. There is so many ways that making passing a group effort is a very good thing.  Several students can get together and buy some expensive study aid and split the cost or even hire a tutor and split the cost several  ways.  Find out when your class mate is taking the state exam.  Call him up and congratulate him on passing.  OH how embarrassing! He did not pass.  You can invite him to your study group that is meeting tomorrow night.  I think their presence would be mutually beneficial to everyone.

     Quit studying like you want to baaaaarely pass the exam.  Start studying like you intend to get your picture put on the cover of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission's "Bulletin"  when you make 100% on the state exam.
