I'm a college student going into my sophomore year and I just reached the age requirement to take courses where I live! I'm going to start the pre-licensing courses next week and then take a in person prep course before taking the exam. Any study tips, tips for passing, etc.? Thanks!

Update, I take the exam this next Monday! Any last minutes studying tips or test taking tips? Thanks!

Hey, BP community!

Congrats and Happy Birthday!

Absolutely! If its anything like NC, they're going to give you two books. A big one with a ton of information regarding the process of brokerage/law/national law/etc, and a small book of Rules and Regulations directly out of the State Legislature.

STUDY THE SMALL BOOK AND UNDERSTAND IT BACKWARD AND FORWARD

If, during the class, they tell you about certain statutes in that book, highlight them and revisit them. If they have a section that talks about use cases for the laws read the heck out of them because test questions likely are derived from these cases.

Otherwise, just know the math. The Big Book was easy to absorb. The Small Book (The Law) was harder, but since Real Estate Commissions' sole purpose is to protect the public from unsavory brokerage practices, that's what you need to study the most.

Thank you so much for your reply and insight Scott! I found this information very helpful and will definitely use it moving forward. Thanks again!

Thank you for the insight! I got a credit card when I turned 18 and currently have a 750 score and I'm waiting until I turn 19 (minimum age requirement where I live) to start courses to become a licensed agent to learn more about the whole process and make it less daunting as I'm getting into my own personal real estate. Plus it's always been what I wanted to do once I got older. Thanks again!

Hey everyone! I'm an incoming sophomore college student and I've been saving money for a down payment. I've been educating myself by reading books and meeting with local real estate agents and I'm eager to learn and get started with Real Estate. I want to get a duplex and house hack the other unit to help pay down my mortgage. I would really appreciate any tips, help with getting started, strategies, and or tweaks to my approach. Thank you guys so much!
