Florida Real Estate Exam, Why Did I Fail?

     Kathy received a phone call yesterday from a former student.  He told Kathy that he graduated from Climer School of Real Estate  two months ago.  He has failed the Florida real estate exam four times.  He wanted Kathy's advice.

     Kathy asked him what was his grade on the school test.  He told her that he barely passed with a 73%.  Kathy asked if he had done the one hundred question practice test in the back of the basic textbook.  He said that he had not.  Kathy asked if he had taken the one hundred question practice exam our website, www.climerrealestateschool.com   He said he had not taken that free test.  Kathy asked him if he had bought Linda Crawford's "Exam Manual for Sales Associates", the best study aid available to study for the Florida real estate exam.  He said he had not bought this book.  Every time you take the Florida real estate exam, it costs $31.50.  The Florida real estate test has a fifty fifty pass rate for first time test takers and a 32% pass rate for repeat takers.  http://ronclimer.hubpages.com/hub/The-Florida-Real-Estate-Exam-Pass-Fail-Rate-For-July-2012

     Kathy asked him if he had attended our two day intensive Florida real estate exam review.  He said he did not have time.  Kathy asked him if he had bought our our audio CD version of that and listened to it in the car.  He said he did not have these audio CDs .  Kathy asked him if he had made five hundred flash cards with questions on one side and answers on the other side.  He said he had not done that either.

     Kathy asked him if he had invited his classmates to get together and study.  He said he had not done that either.  Kathy asked him if he had watched the twelve free real estate math videos that Climer School of Real Estate has posted on You Tube.  He said he had watched one of the videos.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvjBlpgUpFE   Kathy asked him how many math questions did he get right on the Florida real estate exam.  He said that the best he had done was five out of ten.  There are ten real estate math questions on the Florida real estate exam.  It is a lot easier to pass if you get all of the math questions right.  All of the math is explained on these twelve videos.

     Kathy asked him if he had read the "Candidate's Handbook".  This booklet has an outline of what is on the Florida real estate exam.  It also has a lot of tips about passing the exam.  One of these tips is letting our foreign language speaking test candidates take a dictionary with them to the Florida real estate exam.  Our caller told Kathy that he had not read the "Candidate's Handbook".  Kathy sent him a free copy.  If you are soon taking the Florida real estate exam, Kathy will happily send you a free copy.  Contact Kathy at 407 822 3926

     Kathy ask him if he brought the chocolate candy for the Pearson Vue clerk so she would give him the easy test.  He said he did not.
