The North Carolina Real Estate Exam Pass Fail Rate Results for August 2017

The North Carolina Real Estate Commission released the pass fail results for last month's North Carolina real estate exam.  In August, 2017, Six hundred and six real estate license applicants paid PSI to take the real estate exam so they could get their North Carolina real estate license.  Three hundred seventy eight of those real estate license applicants passed the exam.  That is sixty two per cent.  If anyone told you that this exam is easy, they lied.

Three hundred and seventy eight real estate license applicants will be paying $164 to try again.  What can these repeat real estate exam takers expect?  In August, one hundred and seventy three repeat test takers paid $164 to attempt the exam for the second or third or fourth or fifth time.  Thirty three of these repeaters passed.  That is a nineteen per cent success rate.   If you did not study enough the first time, I suggest that you overstudy the second time.

In North Carolina, if you have an active real estate license in another state, you may be able to get a North Carolina real estate license just by passing a forty question test.  In August, seventy six real estate licensees from other states attempted this test.  Nineteen of them passed.  That is a twenty five per cent pass rate.  If you would like a sample of this test, there is one at www.ncreexam.com  One of the obvious problems that out of state real estate licensees have is that they believe what they already know is going to help them pass the North Carolina real estate exam.

If you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam, do not underestimate this exam.  It is not a cake walk.  If your real estate instructor did not tell you that, he has done you a dis service.  This test is hard, difficult, challenging, onerous, exhausting, tedious, formidable, exacting, Sisyphean, tough, perplexing, obstinate, recalcitrant, obstreperous, unyielding to say the least.  It costs $164 to take this test every time you take it.

Overstudy!   Tape $164 cash to the bathroom mirror.  Tell your spouse that we are going out to dinner with that money if I pass the first time.  Tell your spouse that you will not be watching TV or football or Facebook until this test is over.  Send your spouse an email with a link to this article.

Get together with your classmates and study together.  Get together with your classmates and watch my free real estate math videos on You Tube.

Be sure that you know how to do all of the math.  Most people that fail do not fail by twenty points.  They fail by one or two points.  It still costs them $164 to take the test the next time.

Make yourself some flashcards to help you pass the North Carolina real estate exam the first time.  This is easy.  Take 500 three by five cards and write, " How many members of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission must be real estate brokers?" on one side of the three by five card.  Write the answer on the other side.  Do this with 499 other questions.  Use these cards.  Wear them out.  Use these cards all the time.  They worked in the second grade.  They will work now.

If you are one of the 62% that is planning on passing the North Carolina real estate exam the first time, stop reading now.  If you are one of the 38% that is planning on taking the test twice, read the next paragraph.

When you go to the exam the first time, leave a legal pad and a pen lying on the front seat of the car.  When you get back with a failure notice in your hand, start writing down the questions that you did not know the answer to.  You don't have to remember the whole question.  Remember the highlights. This information will never be fresher in your mind than right now.  Do not delay.  Right now before you crank up the car.   What is a subornation clause?  What is the Machinery Act?  Who is bound in an option?  The optionee or the optionor ?   Do you think maaaaaybe you might see these questions again.  Would that make you mad?   If you got back and there is that question about the Machinery Act.  You did not know what it was last time and you don't know today.  Make flashcards out of those questions that you write in the car .  It costs $164 to take the test every time you take it.

If You Get A Bad Instructor in Real Estate School in North Carolina..

     Yesterday, I received a sad email from a man in that had just taken a real estate licensing course from a real estate school in the flat end of North Carolina.

     He told me that his instructor was was pretty dull and uninteresting.  He told me that she did not really understand the material well enough to explain it.  He also told me that fourteen out of fourteen of the students enrolled in the class, failed the real estate school exam.  He emailed me to ask for advice.  He was asking me because he had watched my North Carolina real estate math videos on You Tube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMdJ-2iHepM&t=69s  Here is a link to one of the "Black Shirt" videos.  Watch all five of them if you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam.

     Here is the advice that I gave this man.  I told him to read every word of the text book.  Read every chapter at least once .  Three times would be better.  Read the "comments", Appendix A on page 615 of the ninth edition.  Read that at least three times.  Read "Real Estate Licensing In North Carolina' on page 638 of the textbook.  Here is a video to tell you what that is about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4&t=286s   This little brochure from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission tells us exactly what is on the North Carolina real estate exam.  This is the same ratio that this material is on the school exam.

     I told him to share any help he could find on the internet with his classmates.  Get together with your classmates and study together.  make passing the North Carolina real estate exam a group activity.

     I told him that one of my competitors has the entire class posted on You Tube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPGFNWukT8Q&t=290s   Here is a link to the first one.  This is free help.  Watch them all.

First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, N.C. 

     I told him to answer all the questions at the end of the chapters.  Really answer them like a test.  Grade yourself.  If you are not passing those, you probably won't pass the real estate school test which is written by the North Carolina real estate commission.  I told him to do all the other tests that are in the textbook.  I have have a free practice exam right here on this blog as well as a 100 question practice exam at www.ncreexam.com  Do those practice tests.

     I also have a North Carolina exam review at www.northcarolinaexamreview.com  on video.  This is not free .  It is certainly worthwhile.

     I also told  him to write his own questions.  Make flash cards.  Put,"What North Carolina law regulates ad valorum taxes ?" on one side of a 3x5 card and the
"machinery act" on the other side .  Make about  500 of these.  Use them.


    I suggested that he study any way he can morning,  noon and night.  I suggested that he could worry about his social life after he passed the North Carolina real estate exam, the exam with a 60% pass rate that costs $164 to take the second time.

     I suggested that there are many things that a student can do to help a struggling instructor.  Number one, pay attention.  Do not be part of the instructor's problem.  Be part of the instructor's solution.  Pay attention and insist that your classmates pay attention.  Talk to your classmates during the break .   Tell them that texting while the teacher is talking is RUDE RUDE RUDE.  Maybe they do not understand that.  Maybe they believe in multitasking.  I assure you will not be passing the North Carolina real estate exam if you are multitasking.  It is hard to listen to a mediocre instructor explain title insurance while posting on Facebook.  Do your part as a student.  Ask a question if you don't understand.  Don't attack and criticize the teacher.  Help the teacher.  Your tuition is spent.  You have to put in the hours.  It is going to affect your life more than it is the teacher's if you fail.

     Getting a real estate license in North Carolina is not easy.   The course is difficult.  The material is boring even if you have a fabulous instructor.  The North Carolina real estate exam is hard with a capital H.  Overstudy.  Study like you are appearing on a quiz show with a million dollar prize.

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

license.

Pass Your North Carolina Only Exam The First Time

     There are two types of people that take the "North Carolina only" real estate exam.  One type of real estate exam candidate is the guy that took the comprehensive exam.  He passed the 100 question "general" exam but he failed the "North Carolina only"  forty question portion of the North Carolina real estate exam.

     This is an expensive mistake.  It will cost a repeat test taker $164 to take the exam for the second time.  Another reason why passing the first time is a really good idea.

Take Ron's practice test at www.ncreexam.com

     The other type person that may be taking the North Carolina only portion of the North Carolina real estate exam is the person that has a real estate license in another state.   If that out of state license has been active for three years, that real estate license applicant does not have to take the entire exam.
     That out of state real estate licensee only has to pass the forty question North Carolina portion of the exam.  If that applicant passes that test.  they can be issued a North Carolina real estate license.  Last month, the pass rate on this test was 22%.   Seventy eight per cent of the folks that take this test , fail it.  I can find better ways to spend $164.

     If you would like to know if you are ready to pass this forty question test, take my one hundred question North Carolina only exam at www.ncreexam.com  .  That will cost you ten dollars.  You can not find a better way to spend ten dollars.

     If taking my ten dollar test and watching the video explanation of the answers was all the studying you did, it would almost be enough studying.  If you also got the North Carolina Real Estate Commission's booklet, "Real Estate Licensing in North Carolina", you would know what you need to be studying.  It is a free download at www.ncrec.gov   Click on publications.  Here is a video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZFPZGo_DJ4&t=197s   Get this booklet. It is free.

     I promise that if you take my ten dollar test, you will learn lots of stuff.  There are people that take the North Carolina exam that do not even know how many members are on the North Carolina Real Estate Commission or how long is their term or what is the Conner Act or is our foreclosure process strict or judicial or non judicial?   You have to know the answers to this.  You either know or you spend $164 to try again to get your North Carolina real estate license. .

     Go to www.ncreexam.com  Take my ten dollar test.  See if you are ready.  www.firstrealestateschool.com 

You Failed The State Only Portion of The North Carolina Real Estate Exam, Now What?

     The North Carolina Real Estate Commission has raised the price of failure to $164.  Are you kidding me????

     To return to take the North Carolina real estate exam again is EXPENSIVE.  My best advice is to pass this test the first time.  If it is too late for that advice, my second best advice is to pass it the next time.  Let's call that first attempt a practice run.

It costs $164 to fail the North Carolina only exam

     Would you like another practice run for ten dollars?  Here it is.  Check out www.ncreexam.com .

     This is a one hundred question practice exam that I created for my students at First Real Estate School in Hendersonville, North Carolina.  www.firstrealestateschool.com

     All the questions on my "North Carolina only" practice exam are similar to what you may encounter on the real North Carolina real estate test given by AMP in Asheville.  My test costs ten dollars.  The one in Asheville costs $164.

     The limitation to most practice exam is that you take the test.  Then you take the answer key and grade yourself.  Often the student does not really understand the answers.  With my ten dollar test, the answer key is an hour long video of me explaining the answers.    I don't just tell you that the answers is B.  , the Conner Act.  I tell you what the Conner Act is and what a third party is.  An explanation of the answers is a big help.  This is a wonderful study aid.

     Use this before you take the North Carolina Real Estate Exam the first time.  You will hardly notice the ten dollar investment.  You will certainly notice the $164 failure fee.

     If you like the "North Carolina only" practice exam, take the other one also if you are soon taking the North Carolina real estate exam for the  first time.  Pass the first time.
