The Florida Real Estate Exam, Why Fifty Per Cent Fail and Fifty Per Cent Pass

Florida Real Estate Exam Review Class 

     Last month, January 2014, forty six per cent of first time test takers for the Florida real estate exam passed.  Fifty four per cent failed.  They all paid $31.50 to Pearson Vue for the adventure.  This is about average performance for the Florida real estate exam.  http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/3840/blog_posts/27250-floridas-real-estate-exam-pass-rate   Here is a link to an article about the new Florida real estate exam. 

     How is it possible for two people to sit in a classroom for sixty hours and one learn ninety eight per cent of what is taught and the other  learns fifty eight per cent of what is taught?  Is the skill and expertise of the instructor a problem here?  Is the textbook different for the two students? 

     We all know the answer to this question.  The student that made a 98% on the test studied and the one that made a 58% studied less.  Since Socrates was a young man, students have wanted to learn without studying.  It is possible. 

     For an endeavor like the Florida real estate exam, it is very unlikely that a student can pass this very difficult exam without study.  If you are going to study, you may as well study what is on the Florida real estate exam.  Many people took their Florida online real estate course from a "national" real estate school that specializes in all fifty states and several foreign countries.  These people spend a lot of time and effort studying stuff that is not on the Florida real estate test.  This is better than no study.  Studying what is on the Florida real estate exam would be a better idea.

     How can you know what is on the Florida real estate exam?  Call Kathy at Climer School of Real Estate in Orlando ( 407 822 3926 ) and ask her to send you a free copy of the "Candidate's Handbook" .  This is a small twenty page booklet that has an outline of what is on the Florida real estate exam.  Anyone that is spending $31.50 to take the exam should read this little booklet.  At Climer School of Real Estate, we are surprised to learn that all real estate schools don't give this booklet to their students.  It is recommended by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. 

     While you have Kathy on the line, ask her about Linda Crawford's "Exam Manual".  We sell this book.  This is the best study aid that is available to study for the Florida real estate test.  Once again, we are surprised to learn that many of our competitors do not even mention this valuable book to their students.Why? It has four hundred practice questions in the back.  Many of my students tell me these questions are very similar to the questions on the Florida real estate exam.  Linda Crawford is the author of this book.  She is a instructor at the University of FLORIDA.  Would this book help you pass the Florida real estate exam?  I think so. 

      We use Linda Crawford's "Exam Manual" to teach our two day state exam reviews.  We teach this two day class live in Orlando twice per month.  We also have this review on audio CD and video DVD.  We also have it online.  Check that out at www.climerrealestateschool.com . 

      The Florida real estate exam is ten per cent math.  The real estate math that is on the Florida real estate exam is easy to study.  We have posted twelve videos on You Tube to help you.  The videos are free.  You have to put up the effort to watch them.  There is no math on the Florida real estate exam that is not on these videos.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gNXz5DsZmI&list=PLTlWnUQfSQrsQkjcqD2qtf59of7sPHA6v&index=7        If you go to You Tube and go to "Climer School" , there is a playlist of all twelve free real estate math videos.  All you have to do is watch these.  It is hard to pass the Florida real estate exam if you miss half the math.  You have to be able to compute documentary stamps on the deed and mortgage.  You have to be able to compute per cent of profit.  You have to be able to compute interest.  You have to be able to  amortize a mortgage.  You have to be able to compute number of acres in a lot.  If you can not, it will be difficult for you to pass the Florida real estate exam.  At $31.50 per try , you want to pass the first time.  Watch the free real estate math videos on You Tube.
