Florida Real Estate Exam Pass Fail Results for June 2013

     The Department of Business and Professional Regulation has released the pass fail results for the Florida real estate examination for June of 2013.  One Thousand eight hundred and seventeen Florida real estate license applicants attempted the Florida real estate exam for the first time in June.  Seven hundred and ninety seven of these people passed.  That is a forty four per cent pass rate.  If you are soon taking the Florida real estate exam for the first time, you need to study harder than fifty six per cent of these people did.

     It would seem the odds would go up for second time test takers.  This is not so.  One thousand nine hundred and thirty six people paid $31.50 to take the Florida real estate exam as a repeater.  Six hundred and twenty eight were happy with their results.  One thousand, three hundred and eight will be spending another $31.50 to come back and try again.

     Why are the results so dismal for the Florida real estate sales associates exam?  Half the problem is that most of the people taking the exam for the first time don't know how tough the Florida real estate exam is.  No one tells them.  If they took their basic real estate class online, no one would tell them.  If they took their class from a rookie real estate instructor, he probably does not know how tough the Florida real estate exam is.

     A second problem is that many good real estate students spend a lot of time studying stuff that is not on the Florida real estate exam.  This is caused by two things.  If they took their basic real estate class from an instructor that teaches things that are fun to teach and fun to learn but aren't on the Florida real estate test, this is a problem.  Most real estate instructors sell real estate.  Therefore they become expert on certain areas of real estate.  That is what they enjoy teaching.  Most of the material on the Florida real estate exam is no fun.  If you are going to pass the Florida real estate exam, you need to be studying what is on the Florida real estate exam.

     Anyone that took their basic real estate course online from a school from another state is really at a disadvantage.  They probably didn't learn what is on the Florida real estate test.  They may know a lot about dower rights and deeds of trusts and community property.  They may know this stuff but none of this stuff exists in Florida.  You have to study what is on the Florida real estate test.

     How can you know what is on the Florida real estate exam?  You could take the one hundred question practice test that is on Climer School of Real Estate's website at www.climerrealestateschool.com .  This is free.  Taking this practice test will do two things for you.  If you take this test honestly, and grade yourself honestly, you will know what grade you can expect on the Florida real estate exam.  Also, the questions on my practice exam are similar in content and style to the questions on the Florida real estate exam.  My test is free.  Pearson Vue charges $31.50 per try.  Taking this practice test is a learning process.

     Another way you can know what is on the Florida real estate exam is to get a copy of Linda Crawford's "Florida Real Estate Exam Manual for Sales Associates and Brokers".  This is the best study aid for passing the Florida real estate exam.  I call this the skinny book.  It is an outline of the text book that we use at Climer School of Real Estate.  It also has four hundred practice questions that are similar to the questions on the state exam.  I can hardly believe that any one would go attempt the Florida real estate exam at $31.50 per try without having done these four hundred questions.  If you need a copy of this book, call Kathy at 407 822 3926 .  We sell it.

     Another thing you can do to insure that you pass Pearson Vue's $31.50 Florida real estate exam on the next try is to watch all ten of my free real estate math videos on You Tube.  Our user name is Climer School.  This will help you with the real estate math on the test.  Most of the examples I use in the videos are like the questions on the Florida real estate exam.  The videos are free.

     There is a new math question on the Florida real estate exam  about pro rating interest using the twelve month thirty day method.  This method has never been on the exam until February of 2013.  It is there now.  I put a video on You Tube as soon as I became aware of this question.  Here it is.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtflncxZjOo

     How do I know what on the Florida real estate exam?  A couple of times per month I teach a two day Florida real estate exam review.  We call this the real estate  cram course.  There are two kinds of people that come to this class.  Half the students come to this class because they intend to pass the state exam the first time.  They attend this class as a "refresher" of what they already know.

     The other half are people that took their basic real estate course online from a gypsy real estate school in Timbuktu for $99.  They have taken the Florida real estate exam two or three or four times.  The good news for them is I know what they need to learn to pass the Florida real estate exam.  The good news for me is they are like spies for me keeping me constantly aware of new questions and new math problems that appear on the Florida real estate exam.

     We teach this cram course live twice a month.  We also have it on audio CD and video DVD.  If you need help passing your Florida real estate exam, call Kathy at 407 822 3926.
