A few days ago, I took my real estate salesperson exam in NJ. Surprisingly, after all the hours of studying and reading the material from my book; I somehow failed the exam. Once I go the results, I noticed I was 10 questions away from having a passing score on the exam. I’m still very disappointed about my performance. Since I am a student taking other summer courses; passing the real estate exam is a goal I want to complete soon.

Overall, I must admit that I never learned how to actually "study". I’ve always been a mediocre test taker in my past. How do I study effectively in regards to real estate? I want to read and fully comprehend with all the material from the book. Please help me with some tips or advice; I’m a 20 year old community college student with hopes to begin a career in real estate. Thanks.

read and read and read the material.

do not study to the test. Although now that you’ve taken the test you have a better idea of the types of questions you’ll be asked.

Take practice exams, determine what parts you need the most help on.
Real Estate Law, Ethics, Real Estate Math?

Take it seriously. do not study with music on, while texting, while playing on FaceBook. The RE exam is a serious test. Take studying seriously in order to pass it.

I recently had to take the national mortgage licensing exam after being in the business for quite some time. News reports had it that 65% of people failed first time out. Because they felt the knew the material since they’re in the business. I treated it like my life depended upon passing.

Take it seriously.

      The Real estate exam is the easy part.

      Once you actually start the profession of Real Estate it will become much more difficult very quickly.

      The Real Estate License is just your learner’s permit.

      Learning the profession of Real Estate is difficult, time consuming and expensive.

      If you are having trouble passing the Real Estate Exam now, you should question whether or not Real Estate is the proper profession for you.
