California Real Estate License Exam

Hey BP! 

I have recently completed all of my course work and am now ready to take the California State Exam. It appears that I have the option to apply for the exam and license at the same time. $60 for the exam, $240 for the actual licensing. Is this the recommended move, or should I just apply for the exam? Is that $240 refundable if I don't pass the exam?

Lastly, how did you all study for the exam? Any study guides or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Best,

Zach

@Zach Hubert-Allen from what I remember the amount is not refundable. @Mark Pedroza RE trainers is awesome - they should give you the background for what you need to go pass on October 11th!

Good luck to the both of you. Feel free to reach out before/after you pass if you have any questions.
