     How can you know if you are ready to pass the North Carolina real estate license exam?  You can take my practice test at www.ncreexam.com .   I have posted this practice real estate exam online to help you know if you are ready and to help you understand the things that you have not studied enough.    Go take the exam.  Allow yourself a couple of hours to take the exam.  When you are finished, watch the video of me explaining the answers to you.

     One of the weaknesses of practice exams is that you take the exam.  Then, you take the answer key and grade yourself.  Often, you don't learn as much as you could because you don't really understand the answer.  For instance, I have a free real estate exam right here on this blog.  I received an email a couple of weeks ago from an exam candidate that took that exam.  She had a question about question 16 which said:

                                                 In a deed of trust, the borrower is the
                                                 A.  mortgagee
                                                 B.  grantor
                                                 C. payee
                                                 D.  creditor

     She sent me an email and suggested that maaaaaaaaybe  I had left out the right answer.  The right answer, of course, is B.   This student had a real estate license in a state where they use mortgages.  In North Carolina, we use deeds of trust.  The guy borrowing the money is the grantor.

     The pass rate in May 2017 for out of state licensees taking only the forty question North Carolina section of the test was 31%.   Seven hundred seventy seven applicants took it.  Two hundred thirty nine passed it.  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.  This is caused by out of state applicants mistakenly believing that what they know from their home state will help them pass the North Carolina real estate exam.

If you live or are visiting anywhere near Maggie Valley, North Carolina, you need to visit Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum .  https://wheelsthroughtime.com/#/ms-2745/2   It is a very nice day.

Wheels Through Time is a nice day trip

Getting there is half the fun.  If you drew a map of fun motorcycle roads in western North Carolina , Maggie Valley would be on that map.  It is thirty eight thousand square feet of old motorcycles.  They have Harley and Henderson and Excelsior and Indian and Thor and Marsh.  They had three Harley Hummers. http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/07/motorcycle-in-living-room.html   That is a piece of my child hood that will never be forgotten.

Wheels Through Time had three Harley Hummers

If you want a fun interesting relaxing day, visit Wheels Through Time in Maggie Valley.  You will stay longer than you think.  Take a picnic lunch.  The museum has picnic tables in the shady parking lot next to the river.  The show in the parking lot is not bad.

If you are not into picnicing, we had lunch at Legends about two blocks away.  Good wings!

I have never seen a Marsh before

Meeting old friends from Tennessee, Greg and Sandy Norris makes the trip better.

The show goes on in the parking lot

Pass Fail Ratio for The North Carolina Real Estate Exam for April 2017

     Six hundred and seventy five real estate license applicants paid to take the North Carolina real estate exam in April.  Four hundred and twenty eight of those real estate license applicants passed the North Carolina real estate exam.  That is a sixty three per cent pass rate.  That is the best pass rate that the North Carolina Real Estate Commission has reported in twelve months.

     When an applicant takes the North Carolina real estate exam, it comes in two parts.  There is the national section where they test you on things like sections and ranges and townships that we don't use in North Carolina.  There is the North Carolina section where they test you on things like the Conner Act that is unique to North Carolina.

 First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, North Carolina

     An applicant has to pass both parts of the North Carolina real estate exam or pay $92 to take it again.  That $92 is going to $164 July first 2017.

     If a real estate license applicant does have to take the North Carolina real estate exam again, their pass ratio is 22%.  That is:  One thousand nine hundred and fifty four people took the North Carolina real estate exam in April for the second or third or fourth or fifth time.  Four hundred and fifty three passed.  That is 22%.  They all paid $92 to be there.  One thousand five hundred and one of those repeat test takers will be back paying this fee to the testing company to take the North Carolina real estate exam again.   www.northcarolinaexamreview.com

Study aids to help you pass North Carolina Real Estate Exam

     This North Carolina real estate exam is no picnic.  There is a lot to learn and to remember.  If you are soon taking this difficult exam, study.  Study more than you think is necessary.

     There are lots of ways to study.  Some study methods are too obvious.  Read your textbook.  Read every word of it.  Answer the questions at the end of the chapters.  Grade yourself.  If you are not getting ninety per cent of these correct, you are not ready for the North Carolina real estate exam.  Answer these questions whether your instructor requires you to or not.

     Another simple and easy way to study is to watch my free real estate math videos on You Tube.  These videos teach you how to do any math that is on the North Carolina real estate exam.  The exam is 15% math. If you can not amortize a mortgage, you need to learn how before you show up at the test center.  If you can not compute excise tax, you better learn how before you go take the North Carolina real estate exam.  If you can not compute the seller's net at closing, you need to watch my videos.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuHYf3DYhIU&t=131s     This math is on the North Carolina real estate exam.  If you are hoping to pass without being able to do these computations, you better be studying the other stuff a lot.

     On July 1, 2017 , the price of failure is going from $92, which it is now, to $164.  I think the North Carolina Real Estate Commission raised that price to give applicants more motivation to study.  Watching my math videos is free.

     How do repeat test takers fare on the North Carolina real estate exam?  Two hundred twenty three repeat applicants attempted the North Carolina real estate exam for the second or third or fourth or fifth time in March of 2017.  Fifty seven of those repeaters passed.  That 26%.

     Study, study, study.  You could make flash cards.  You take a three by five card.  Write,"What clause in a mortgage allows a mortgagor to change the priority of the mortgage?"  on the front of the card.  Write, "subornation clause" on the back of the card.  Make about 400 of these cards.  Keep them with you all the time.  Go through them when you have a spare minute or two.  With modern technology, you can do this on your phone instead of a 3x5 card.

     At First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, we have several study aids on our website www.firstrealestateschool.com  to help you pass the North Carolina real estate exam.  One of the best study aids available is Dearborn's book, "Guide To Passing The AMP Real Estate Exam"  AMP is the private company that gives the North Carolina exam.

     This 370 page book is full of practice tests and games to help you learn what you need to know to pass the test the first time.  https://portal.recampus.com/re/FirstRE 

     I have a practice test posted online. http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/04/real-estate-practice-exam-for-north.html  Go take my practice exam.  Take it like a real test.  Take my test near the end of
your class.  Grade yourself.  If you are not making an 85% on my practice test, keep studying.  Please do not underestimate the North Carolina real estate exam.  If you did not make at least a 85% on your class test, keep studying.

     Here is some good advice.  When you go to take the North Carolina real estate exam at the AMP test center, leave some paper or a recorder on the seat of the car.  If you return to your car with a failure notice, start writing down questions that were on your test.  Look up those answers.  Know that stuff when you come back and pay $164 to try again.  You will very likely see the same concepts next time.

     Study, study, study!   Study too much.  Study in the morning.  Study at night. At $164 per try,
passing the first time seems like a good idea.
