Hello All
I have had my real estate lic for over 13 years and am going to take the BROKERS test in a few weeks. I have been doing all the practice tests and questions. Just wondering if anyone has any helpful advice on how to study for the state exam and pass. I am located in California.
Thanks

If you are doing practice tests and drills, that's really all you need to do, so long as you're scoring well on the practice exams. California's broker exam covers the same subject matter as the sales person exam, just more questions and you need to get a higher passing score.

That is what Im currently doing. Lots of practice tests and questions. I am getting about 90+% on them.

Are some questions on the brokers test identical to the practice questions? Im going through Allied.

Im in your same boat in NJ. Just completed all of my hours, past all my test exams, now just waiting to take the actual state exam. Best of luck to you. You're almost there!!!!

Thank you
Good luck to you too.
Once I get this studing out of the way and pass the test, I feel like I will have my life back!

I always find it helpful to make 3X5 flashcards for all the important terms, concepts, and formulas. Do it by hand. By the time you have written them down, you already have absorbed a ton of information.

If you usually wear contacts, wear glasses instead.

When I took my Brokers test the air in the room was so dry one of my contacts fell out. Then the other tore. Everyone was having that problem.

Fortunately I had a pair of glasses with me.

That is crazy Auburn CA...........thank you for the advice.

How long has it been since you took the test? Im also in California. Did you just basically memorize the questions? Im just going over and over and over the practice questions and quizzes. I feel like my brain in going to explode with all the info that I am retaining!

I really hope that I pass the first time! I really want to get this over with.

I'm thinking of getting mine too. I've been licensed for 30 yrs now, but never bothered with the Broker's license, especially since my husband has his. But I think I just want to have it anyway. Did you use Lumbleau RE School Online??? They are probably the oldest school out there and all their tests are online, which I prefer, verses books.

I am needing to get mine as well. Is the test really that hard? I want to take it in class, but its looking like online is much more time effective.

I am taking mine through Allied. I have finished all my courses which were easy to get thought since it is an open book test. I am now just reviewing a memorizing questions/answers. Everything is online, which is very easy and convienent. My husband just passed his salesperson and is also studing for the brokers also. I just hope that by getting 90% or more on the practice test means that I am ready to take the final. I take it in a few weeks!

I did mine through Allied as well.

Their exam cram DVD was well worth it. I had it playing on my laptop in my car on the way to the test.

I took my test a couple of years ago. At the time I was living in San Luis Obispo, so I took my test in Fresno. The 2 hour drive allowed me to listed to the whole DVD on my way there, so the info was still fresh in my head.

Their test questions are pretty much exactly the same ones you'll see on the state exam.

I am taking the classes now.People advised me they wold be hard, so far not so hard, but then again I got my license 3.5 years ago and some concepts are still fresh, plus all I have put into practice over the years. I think if you understand the concepts you will be fine.

I PASSED!!!!!! That test was sooo hard! Out of 200 questions I knew that 80 were correct and the others I could get it to 50/50. A couple didnt even make sense! May brain was soooo fried after that test............5 hours! I am so relieved. Thank you all for your advice and good luck to anyone about to take it!

I studied with Allied and was getting 95%-99% on their practice brokers test. I did NOT feel that confident at all after I took the state exam. The state exam had many questions that were not on the practice testing.
