How Do I Study For The Real Estate Exam?

Answer: You can study in many different ways. You don't necessarily need a preparation course, but using one is a good shortcut because everything is up to date, checked for accuracy, and organized in a way to help maximize your study time and chances of passing. If you want to study the old fashioned way, you can simply scour resources online and also read your books you have from your required readings.

How Long Should I Study For The Exam?

Answer: It depends. We recommend aiming for a period of 2-4 weeks if using our exam preparation course. However, some people can study for just a single day and pass the exam while others take more than 6 months. It really depends on your ability to retain information and your dedication to studying.

Is The Real Estate Exam Multiple Choice?

Answer: In most states, yes it is. However, in certain states you may find "scenario" based questions being included more and more. These types of questions will be on exams in states that are moving toward this style. You should research to find out what your exam will look like in your state. In most states however, the exams will be multiple choice only.

Is A Real Estate License Worth Getting?

Answer: In most cases the answer is yes. It will benefit you to have the option of having a career choice that is flexible with a huge upside for potential earning.
