Hi Tyler!
Looks like you got a lot of information! That's what I love about this forum!
Here's just my 2 cents:
I got my license about 10 years ago and completed the courses sitting in class. The commute, the even more hectic schedule, as well as the time away from my job at the time, was a lot of stress. Although I did pass the class and the re exam right away, so the instruction must have been good. But it was easy to lose my focus on the instruction.
I then got out of the business for awhile and let my re license lapse - silly me. Then, of course, the real estate field called me back and I had to complete the 60 hour course all over again. This time I went through an online company, America's Best. I LOVED IT! There are quizzes at the end of each section, as well as questions throughout the sections, not counting the final exam. I got through it in WAY less time than I did sitting through the classes. I also liked that in order to go onto the next section you had to take a quiz to show that you learned the info. LONG STORY SHORT, I again passed the re exam with no problems. In fact, I honestly believe I understood more and better through the online course than through the classroom one.
Again, just my opinion, but thought I'd share it with you.
Good luck!
