How do I pass the NMLS SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test?
Hello, my name is Julian. I am a licensed realtor based in Atlanta, Georgia, and I am currently working on obtaining my mortgage origination license. I am 14 hours into the 20-hour online course offered by "RealEstateU." I've been informed that completing the course alone may not be sufficient to pass the exam, so I’m seeking advice on how to prepare effectively once I complete it.
Currently, my only other resources include a YouTube video, five practice exams, and a textbook.
If you have any additional suggestions—whether online or in-person, paid or free—that could help me effectively prepare for the exam, I would greatly appreciate them. Thank you!!

I would recommend looking into a crash course to help prepare for the exam. In CA I took a crash course with Sharon Butler and I passed first try with an 86%. I also treated studying like a full-time job. I took a couple of weeks off from my former job to really focus and prepare for the exam.
