Second time was the charm for me. The first time I got 74% (needed 75%). The guy sitting in front of me was taking it for the 5th time. I'm glad I didn't have to study for a third time.

Illinois now has the same national exam portion as Georgia and a few other places. I failed the exam last week by 4 points on the information gathering section and scored a 87 on the decision making section. For any of you that have passed this exam do you have any suggestions? I have been a salesperson for 8 years and this is the first time I have not passed a test in my real estate career.

Never mind I passed.

After 8 years, if you've been paying attention, you probably know everything you need to know anyway. Just don't let 'exam jitters" interfer with your drawing from the knowledge you have.

Just passed the state exam today! I had to take two weeks off from taking any bpo work to get it done, although I continued to work on a couple of closings. I enrolled in the online class nine months ago but was so busy that I could never complete all modules.
