Fast Track to getting California Salesperson License

Hi Guys,

I'm planning on getting my salesperson license soon. I'm looking into an online school. Any recommendations and why are they better?  Now, not to brag, but I have 2 Science-related University degrees so a 3 hour, multiple choice test doesn't scare me.  Can you guys suggest tips on how to take the course and test as fast as possible? Is the course even necessary?  

 Also, after reading the post below, it seems there may be some conflicts when I'm wholesaling property in California. We'd love to get your input on that on said post.

@Jose Guevarra I used allied schools for a few salesperson and brokers courses. Very easy to use all the units come in pdf format and good prices as well. I do like keeping a copy of the units in pdf on my google drive to refer back to every now and then. I think I paid $180 for 3 courses plus the exam prep. Just did it for my girlfriend too.

I also got the exam prep questions which I think is $30 and creates mock exams for you. Overall I found these practice exams to be the most helpful.

You will find in the exam that the questions are worded slightly different but after you've done it a few times a lot of answers become automatic.

I think I completed the test in 45 mins. It wasn't long. Pretty straight forward.
