The May 2018 Florida Real Estate License State Exam Pass Fail Performance Summary

The May 2018 Florida Real Estate License State Exam Pass Fail Performance


The May 2018 Florida Real Estate license state exam pass fail statistics are as dismal as usual

We have just had another very successful month at The Climer School of Real Estate. I tell every single one of my new Florida 63-hour Sales Associate License Pre-License class students that their biggest challenge is beating the state examination tricks. I tell them that they must learn how to beat the state at its own game.


At The Climer School of Real Estate, the best Real Estate school in the state of Florida, we inform our students that the state of Florida, the Florida Real Estate Commission, the Division of Real Estate, the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and the Bureau of Education and Testing are not on their side. No matter what they may think they are not their friends.

They spend more time and energy attempting to trick them into a wrong answer and feeling than they do in attempting to test their actual knowledge.

I do believe that this is why the Climer School of Real Estate has such an incredible reputation and why so many people not only consider but proclaim that we are the best Real Estate school in Florida. It’s because we teach our students how to beat and pass that state exam. Don’t ever forget your real education begins once you pass the state exam. This is when you need to learn the knowledge and information that you need to know in your Real Estate career. The ridiculous stuff that we have to teach the 63-hour sales associate pre-license class is only two passed one hurdle: beating the state exam at Pearson Vue one time.

The monthly Florida Real Estate license pass fail statistics on the performance review always prove this. May 2018 is no different.

May 2018 Florida Real Estate License State Exam Performance Summary

In May 2018, 2827 individuals took the Florida Real Estate sales associate license exam for the very first time. Of that very large number, only 1441 of them passed while 1386 of them failed. This is a passing rate of 51% and a failing rate of 49%. In other words, same as always.

2691 took the exact same exam for a second or for a repeated time. Only 813 of them passed while 1878 of failed. This is a repeated examination pass rate of only 30% with a failure rate of 70%. In other words, same as always.

The hundredth time, this cannot be a coincidence. I believe it is because the state of Florida is more interested in tricking people into wrong answers and failing than they are in testing their knowledge.

This is exactly why you or anyone you know wants their Florida Real Estate license must attend The Climer School of Real Estate. If you go anywhere else you are taking a huge chance with your future.

In May 2018, 250 people took the Florida Real Estate brokers license state exam for the very first time. 151 of them passed while 99 of them failed. This is a passing rate of 60% and a failing rate of 40%. In other words, same as always.

168 people took the Florida Brokers license state exam for a second or for a repeated time. Only 62 of them passed and 106 of them failed. This is a passing rate of 37% with a failing rate of 63%. In other words, same as always.

Climer School of Real Estate students seem to pass the state exam at a much higher rate than students who attend any of the other much more horrible schools.


Florida Real Estate instructor licensee hopefuls did not do much better. Six people in state of Florida took their Real Estate Instructors license test for the very first time. Only one of them passed while five of them failed. I’ve said this many times before, this is a very hard exam.

Does anyone remember all my warnings about the problem situation we are about to have with certified residential appraisers state of Florida? I certainly hope so.

Only one person took the certified residential appraisers state license exam in Florida in May. At least that one person passed one person took the same exam for a second or repeated time. And they did not pass. They failed.

What that means is the state of Florida put one new Certified Residential Appraiser in the state of Florida and all of calendar month May 2018. It is my opinion that we are headed to a real problem with certified residential appraisers in the state of Florida. However, I am not on the FREAB board so there is nothing that I can do not except try to warn people.

I just finished teaching a two-week pre-license class and I cannot tell you how much fun we had. What a great we all had fun, laughed a lot, were never bored, and I have a feeling this class is going to set new records of first time passing rate at Pearson Vue when they take your state exam.

Are you thinking about getting into the Real Estate industry in your Real Estate career in the state of Florida? If you are, you owe it to yourself to attend The Climer School of Real Estate. All Real Estate schools are not the same.

Why is The Climer School of Real Estate the Best Real Estate School in Florida?

Why is The Climer School of Real Estate the Best Real Estate School in Florida?

There are many valid reasons why The Climer School of Real Estate is considered by many to be the very best real estate school in all of Florida


This comes up quite a bit. Many schools would love to claim this title, many schools do advertise this. One local school even advertises that they are ‘better than the best’. We love this. We love it when the other schools try to outdo us.


I am asked this question all the time! Either from our students who went to other schools first. They are always amazed and flabbergasted at the differences. It does not matter what other school that they went to, they are always amazed at the difference.


We also treat our students like family. Nothing is more important at The Climer School of Real Estate than our students getting what they need. Real life does not stop just because you are in class.

The Climer School of Real Estate is the Best Real Estate School in Florida!

Some of our students have experienced profound and unexpected personal tragedies during the class. We do everything we possibly can to help them and support them. We never post this because each event is of an extremely personal nature however, if everyone knew what we go through on a regular basis with some of our students, they would think we are making it up.

Or, students ask because of our hundreds and hundreds of the real 5 star Google reviews  and 5 Star Facebook reviews  that none of the other schools have.


We had one ridiculous student who did not use her real name write that we bribe our students into giving us a 5 star review. That is pathetic. We quite simply do not have to do this.


We had another recent idiot who also did not use his real name write that we threatened the class. Another ridiculous lie. We would never threaten our students into doing anything. If we really operated this way, we definitely would not have the reputation that we do.


By the way, once you are out there in the real world, sometimes people lie. Try not to worry about it. If you are always working to do the right things for the right reasons; good intentions will always win out and overcome the extremely small number of small minded idiots who happen to come your way.


However, no other school in the state of Florida teaches the classes to their students the way that The Climer School of Real Estate teaches their students.


At The Climer School of Real Estate, we truly teach our students to PASS the state exam that the DBPR, the DRE, and the FREC says you must take and pass at Pearson Vue. We do not stand up in front of you and read you the book, and then tell you that that is teaching.


That is what all the other schools in Florida do. Most even charge a lot more than we do, then read you the book, and tell you that they are great.


We do NOT read the book back to you. In fact, many times we do not even teach you exactly what is in the book word for word.


We teach you how to Pass the state exam so you can get your Florida Real Estate license, and then go out and start making money and having fun.


The state of Florida exam question writers are more interested in tricking you into a wrong answer than actually testing your knowledge.


At The Climer School of Real Estate, we teach you how to beat the state of Florida exam question writers at their own game so that you will not be fooled by their tricks and you will pass your state exam.


The state exam pass fail numbers prove this.


In February of 2018, 2551 people took the Florida Real Estate Sales Associate Exam for the first time. 1284 of them passed and 1267 of them failed. This is a 50% passing rate and a 50% failing rate.


2712 people took the same exam for a second or for a repeated time. 840 of them, or only 31% passed and 1872 of them, or a whopping 69% of them failed.


This is crazy and this is why The Climer School of Real Estate of so good. From what we are told and from what we hear, The Climer School of Real Estate students seem to pass the Florida Sales Associate state exam at a much higher rate than do students who go to any other school in Florida.


The Brokers are the same way. 224 people took the Florida Real Estate Broker Exam for the first time and 140 of them, or 63% passed while 84 of them, or 38% failed.


148 people took this exam for a second or a repeated time. Only 48 of them, or 32% passed and 100 of them, or 68% of hem failed.


This is because the state is trying to fool you and trick you into a wrong answer and failing. The Climer School of Real Estate teaches you how to catch and overcome their tricks.


Don’t waste your time and your money going to all of the other schools who will stand in front of you and read the book to you. Attend The Climer School of Real Estate and actually learn what you need to know to PASS your state exam.


Since 1984, The Climer School Of Real Estate is The Best Real Estate School in Florida with the Best Real Estate Instructors in Florida. We have the best pre-license classes, the best post license classes, the best Spanish classes, and the best live streaming real estate classes in Florida.

The December 2017 and CY 2017 Real Estate State Exam Pass Fail Rates from Pearson Vue

The December 2017 and the CY 2017 Real Estate State Exam Pass Fail Rates

This is exactly why you need to attend your Real Estate License class at The Climer School of Real Estate. Our students pass the state exam at a much higher rate!

We have a new 1 Week Sales Associate Real Estate License Class beginning on Monday, February 5th. From the looks of things, a lot of people need to be attending this class at The Climer School of Real Estate, not the other ones. We also have a phenomenal Post 45 Class starting on Monday January 29th at our Waterford Lakes Campus. It is filling up fast so make sure you register NOW!

The Climer School of Real Estate is the Best Real Estate School in Orlando

The December 2017 and the calendar year 2017 numbers are out for the sales associate license and the brokers license state exam performance statistics from Pearson Vue. And they are dismal.

Let’s do December 2017 first.

From December 1 to December 31, 2017 2603 individuals took the Florida sales Associates real estate license exam at Pearson Vue for the very first time. 1228 of them passed and 1375 fail this is a passing rate of 47% and a failing rate of 53%. This is horrible. The numbers are going down.

2781 individuals took the Florida sales associate state exam for a second or for a repeated time. 865 of them passed and 1960 of them failed for a 31% pass rate and a 69% fail rate.

The numbers are actually going down, getting worse. I believe this because there are so many new fly-by-night schools out there who think opening a real estate school is easy money or who do it for brokerage recruiting purposes, none of whom have a clue of what they’re doing regarding helping their students pass the state exam, so more the students are going to these terrible horrible schools and are flunking estate exam. They should be going to The Climer School of Real Estate the best real estate school in Orlando.

I also believe that the FREC, the BET, the DBPR, and the DRE want these numbers low. I believe it is a weeding out and a filtering mechanism. I have heard a commissioner say out loud at a FREC meeting that, “the (Pearson Vue) state exam is the ultimate gate keeper.”

This is why they all focus more on tricking you into wrong answers than in testing your knowledge.

Go to The Climer School of Real Estate to Learn How To PASS Your State Exam!

275 people took the Florida real estate brokers license state exam for the very first time calendar month of December 2017. 177 of them passed and 98 failed. This is a passing rate of 64% and a failing rate of 36%.

201 people took the Florida real estate brokers license state exam for a second or for a repeated time. 67 of them passed and 134 of them failed. This is a 33% passing rate and a 67% failing rate. Again, terrible. If they would come to The Climer School of Real Estate many more that would pass on your first try.

I blog about the problems we are going to have with the certified residential appraisers in Florida in the entire month of December 2017 only one person took the certified residential exam for the first time in only two people took for second repeated time. None of them passed. The state of Florida put zero new certified residential appraisers in December 2017.

How we do for the entire calendar year January 1 to December 31, 2017?

32,240 individuals took the Florida real estate sales associate license exam for the first time. 16,385 passed and 15,855 failed. This is an annual statewide passing rate of 51% and a failing rate of 49%. Right on target.

32,361 individuals took the Florida sales associate real estate license state exam for a second or for a repeated time. 10,210 of them passed and 22,151 of them failed. This is a passing rate of 32% and a failing rate of 68%. Again, right on time. Pathetic

Florida put in 26,595 new sales associate licensees 2017.

Over the calendar year, 2779 people took the Florida real estate brokers license state exam for the very first time. 1682 of them passed and 1000 97 of them failed. This is a first time brokers exam pass rate of 61% and a failing rate of 39%.

2245 people took the broker’s real estate state exam for a second offer repeated time. 870 of them passed and 1375 of them failed. This is a passing rate of 39% and a failing rate of 61%.

Florida passed a total of 2552 new broker licensees in 2017.

Do you remember our buddies, the new certified residential appraisers? The state of Florida added a total of 12 new certified residential appraisers in 2017.

I truly feel sorry for the students, especially those in central Florida, who go to a school for their sales associate 63-hour pre-license class or their broker 72-hour pre-license class other than The Climer School of Real Estate. There is a reason why so many consider us the best real estate school anywhere.

We don’t read you the book. We teach you what you need to know to pass the state exam so that you get your real estate license, go out there and have fun and make money. Friends don’t let friends go anywhere but The Climer School of Real Estate.

We have classes in Spanish, Live Streaming classes, and multiple locations to serve the community. Share this blog with your friends and discover the Climer School difference for yourself.

The August 2017 Florida Real Estate State Exam Pass Fail Numbers and Total License Numbers Report

The August 2017 Florida Real Estate State Exam Pass Fail Numbers and Total License Numbers Report

As expected, the Pass Fail rates for the Florida Real Estate state exam are exactly what is expected.

Here are the new pass fail statistics for August of 2017 from The Climer School of Real Estate, the best real estate school in Orlando.

The Climer School of Real Estate is the Best Real Estate School in Orlando

In August of 2017, from August 1 to August 31, 3,588 people to the Florida real estate sales associate state exam for the very first time. Of that number, 1,840 of them passed the exam and 1,748 of them failed the exam. This is a passing rate of 51% and a failing rate of 49%.



3,660 people took the Florida real estate sales associate state exam for a second time were for a repeated time. Of this number, 1,175 of them passed and 2,485 of them failed. This is a dismal passing rate of 32% and a failing rate of 68%.
This pass fail ratio is the same as it always is. I believe it again proves my point that the powers that be within the state of Florida are more interested in tricking real estate exam test takers and they are in testing their knowledge. And I believe this proves again that they are very good at tricking test takers into wrong answers.
296 people to the Florida real estate brokers license state exam for the very first time. Of this number 184 than passed and 112 of them failed. This is a passing rate of 62% and a failure rate of 38% 203 people took the Florida real estate brokers license state exam for a second or for a repeated time. Of this number 84 of them passed while 119 of them failed. This is a passing rate of only 41% and a failing rate of 59%.
Again, this is about the same as it always has been.
I do not know how much the total number of real estate licenses in the state of Florida increased from July 1 2017 through July 31, 2017. The Florida Real Estate Commission and the Division of Real Estate cancelled the August meeting due to Hurricane Irma.
I have written about the Certified General Appraiser license exam results. I believe we are having a problem in the very near future. 34.1% of sales associate licensees are inactive in some way. If they all became active at the same time, this would really change the market picture. You better have a good marketing plan in place and you better be working it.
You may be interested in knowing that in August 2017, only 1 person took the Certified Residential Appraiser license examination for the first time. One person passed and zero people failed LOL. Apparently not many people want to take this examination.
Only one person took the Certified Residential Appraiser’s license exam for a second offer repeated time. One person failed and one person passed.
The appraisal community is losing appraisers. The number of certified registered trainees has decreased from 541 in November 2016 down to 505 as of June 2017. There were 231 in active registered trainees in November 2016. This number has decreased to 157 in June 2017. There were also 422 involuntary inactive registered trainee’s licensees November 2016. This number has decreased to 371 in June 2017.
We added 8 new licensed Real Estate Instructors. We don’t necessarily need new real estate instructors. What we need are good instructors. So many of them are bad, very bad. They think that if they get a real estate instructors license, they can make easy money teaching a mandatory real estate course. It is the students who get screwed.
What do you think will happen regarding these statistics? I wish I knew. However, keep following my blog and I will keep you updated and status as soon as I get new information.
Don’t forget, due to circumstances regarding Hurricane Irma, the Florida Real Estate Commission, The Division of Real Estate, and the Bureau of Education and Testing have moved the September 30th 2017 renewal deadline out to October 23rd 2017. This is especially important for those of you who must have your mandatory 45 hours of Post Licensing in place now! Do Not Delay! Get your Post 45 class or your Continuing Education in Now. You do not want to lose your license because you forgot to take the class.
Stay positive!

The July 2017 Florida Real Estate State Exam Pass Fail Numbers and Total License Numbers Report

The July 2017 Florida Real Estate State Exam Pass Fail Numbers and Total License Numbers Report

As expected, the Pass Fail rates for the Florida Real Estate state exam are exactly what is expected but Licensee numbers are going up.

The July 2017 Real Estate License State Exam Pass Fail Summary

In July 2017, from July 1 to July 31, 2,829 people to the Florida real estate sales associate state exam at Pearson Vue for the very first time. Of that number, 1422 of them passed the exam and 1407 of them fail the exam. This is a passing rate of 50% and a failing rate of 50%. Students from The Climer School of Real Estate are passing their state exam on their first try like crazy!

2699 people took the Florida real estate sales associate state exam for a second time were for a repeated time. Of this number, 843 of them passed in 1856 of them fail. This is a dismal passing rate of 31% and a failing rate of 69%.

This pass fail ratio is the same as it always is. I believe it again proves my point that the powers that be within the state of Florida are more interested in tricking real estate exam test takers and they are in testing their knowledge. And I believe this proves again that they are very good at tricking test takers into wrong answers.

222 people to the Florida real estate brokers license state exam for the very first time. Of this number 144 than passed and 78 of them failed. 182 people took the Florida real estate brokers license state exam for a second or for a repeated time. Of this number 61 of them passed while 121 of them failed. This is a passing rate of only 34% and a failing rate of 66%.

Again, this is about the same as it always has been.

The total number of real estate licenses in the state of Florida increased by over 2600 from June 2017 through July 2, 2017. This is all licenses.

The total number of active sales associate and broker associate licensees increased by 1227. This is an increase of 0.61% per month for 7.36% annually.

It may be interesting to note that there is an additional 76,389 voluntary inactive sales associate licensees and 5246 voluntary inactive broker associate licensees. There are also 17,305 involuntary inactive sales associate licensees and an additional 1557 involuntary inactive broker associate licensees.

These are significant numbers when it comes to your potential competition.

34.1% of sales associate licensees are inactive in some way. If they all became active at the same time, this would really change the market picture. You better have a good marketing plan in place and you better be working it.

Don’t be afraid of competition. Someone told me once there is always room for someone better. The Pareto principle or the 80 20 rule is always in place. Whatever the numbers are yet to make sure the show as part of the 20% is on top. If you go back and read my blog on Dr. Sean Snaith’s assessment of the economic future of Florida and especially the Orlando Kissimmee Metropolitan statistical area than you know we are going to keep growing. Everybody needs a place to live whether they buy or rent. So, the need for a true real estate professional will always be there.

I have written about the Certified General Appraiser license exam results.

You may be interested in knowing that in July 2017 zero people took the Certified Residential Appraiser license examination for the first time. I’m sure it’s clear that zero people passed and zero people failed. What may not be clear is that no one wanted to take this examination.

Only two people took the Certified Residential Appraiser’s license exam for a second offer repeated time. One person passed and one person failed. We have a 50 - 50 passing rate based on two people.

The appraisal community is losing appraisers. The number of certified registered trainees has decreased from 541 in November 2016 down to 505 as of June 2017. There were 231 in active registered trainees in November 2016. This number has decreased to 157 in June 2017. There were also 422 involuntary inactive registered trainee’s licensees November 2016. This number has decreased to 371 in June 2017.

Even more alarming is the fact that from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, the Florida real estate appraisal Board (FREAB) only welcomed in 9 new certified residential appraisers.

This can’t be a good thing. I believe we are having a problem in the very near future. We are losing our appraisers much higher rate than we are gaining them.

What do you think will happen regarding these statistics? I wish I knew. However, keep following my blog and I will keep you updated and status as soon as I get new information.

Stay positive!

The New FREC 61-J2 Rule on Team or Group Advertising

Does Your Team or Group Name have an illegal or forbidden term?

What it really means

The Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) is discussing what is probably the last draft on new 61J2 – 10.026 team or group advertising rule. My estimate is that this new rule will be voted on and passed in next month's (September's) meeting.

This has been in work for a long time. I myself heard the commission discussing this issue in a commission meeting almost 2 years ago. 


 The reason for this rule change is because the commission had felt that many sales associates and broker associate were stepping way over the line for too long of a time with regards to the way they present themselves to the general public. 

Only a broker is allowed to name themselves, and market themselves to the public as a real estate business. Sales associate and broker associate may only do business under their own name. And it needs to be the name that they have registered with the DBPR


 The Florida Real Estate Commission believed that many team names were actually the name of a real estate business (which is not allowed). They had been receiving numerous complaints from consumers who did not know who they were working with or what brokerage. 

Some of the complaints were that they did not know with who on what team they were working with and they had no idea who showed up to the appointment. 

 And I want to remind you that the only thing that the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), the Division of Real Estate (DRE), and the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC) care about is the general public. They do not care about real estate licensees. 

When the general public starts complaining about licensees too much, the commission is going to do something about it. 

 So here are the new rules on Team or Group Advertising: 

1. Team or Group Advertising shall mean a collective name or logo used by one or more real estate licensees who represent themselves to the public as part of one brokerage that performs real estate license activities under the supervision of the same broker. 

As a reminder, every single sales associate and broker associate works for their employing broker. They are not independent business entities. 

2. Each team or group shall file with the broker an appointed team leader to represent the team or group. This team leader shall be responsible for ensuring that the advertising is in compliance with Chapter 475 Florida Statutes and 61J2 Florida Administrative Code. 

3. The registered broker must maintain a current written record of each team’s or group’s members. 

4. Team or group names. Real estate team or group names must always include the word “team” or “group” as part of the name. 

Real estate team or group name shall not include the following words: 

a. Associates
b. Brokerage
c. Brokers
d. Company
e. Corporation
f. Corp.
g. Inc.
h. LLC
i. LP or LLP
j. Real Estate
k. Realty
l. or similar words suggesting the team or group is a separate real estate brokerage or company 

All of these indicate a real estate brokerage business. It had become too deceptive to the general public. Only a broker can own and operate and register a real estate brokerage business, not sales associates or broker associates.

5. Unless otherwise provided, this rule applies to all mediums of advertising including print, radio or television, and Internet. It includes but is not limited to such type of advertising as signs, billboards, email, business stationery, business cards, business documents, signs, logos, newsletters, or electronic equivalents, or anything of a similar kind of use for a similar purpose as any of the items set forth above. 

6. Advertisements containing the team or group name, team or group member, or individual licensee shall not appear in larger print or be more prominently displayed than the name of the registered brokerage’s logo. 

Many of the teams were further trying to skirt the issue by putting the required brokerage information in teeny tiny print somewhere near the bottom of the ad. It is another rule that all advertising must contain the name of the brokerage. 

The commission considered this as another way for teams to break the rule. So now, there’s a new rule. Nothing can be larger than the print that contains the name of the real estate brokerage. 

 7. All signage, including yards and billboards, must comply with these requirements no later than 12 months following effective date of this rule. 

8. Excluding the items listed above, all other relevant advertising must comply with these requirements no later than six months following the effective date of this rule. 

By the way, everything is advertising. While the discussion of this was going on for a couple of years I always let my classes know about it. On many occasions I had students call me and asked me about a team name that contained one of the now forbidden, illegal terms. 

I told them all, don’t do it. I told them they would be wasting their time and money. They were going to spend money with a URL, a webpage, SEO and SEM to brand them, business cards, car placard, and so on and so on. 

I told them they were going to be wasting your time and money and they were going have to be changing it all soon. 

They responded, “but my broker said it was okay.” I asked them, then why did you call me and ask me? Then I would tell them you get to do whatever you want.  

And now and everyone is going to be changing their team names or group names that contain one of the forbidden terms. 

 But you are all sales people. So use it as an opportunity to communicate with your entire customer database. At the very least, turn it into a positive!

The June 2017 Pearson Vue Florida Real Estate Exam Pass Fail Rates

The Florida Real Estate State Exam June 2017 Pass Fail Examination Performance Summary from Pearson Vue

Thoughts from Andy Brown at The Climer School of Real Estate, the Best Real Estate School in central Florida


The Climer School of Real Estate has the Best and the Happiest Students

I was reading the June 2017 ‘Men’s Health’ magazine, and came across their section called ‘Useful Stuff’. It had a full-page article called ‘Realty Check’. At first, I thought it read ‘Reality Check’. It did not. It said Realty Check.

I was very interested in reading their tips. I could not believe the very first one. “Many agents are clueless. You have to take a course to get a license. I want to night classes, but I know people who took online courses they bought on Groupon.” You can check it for yourself. Page 42.

 I could not agree more. I am fed up with the many discount, supercheapo, online classes that people are buying taking or that they buy on Groupon because they do not teach the students what they need to know to pass the state exam. They are just interested in taking their money.

 The June 2017 Florida real estate state exam Pass fail examination performance summary has been released from Pearson Vue and the Bureau of Education and Testing (BET). And the results are essentially the same as they always are. I’m very thankful to the author of the article and to ‘Men’s Health’ magazine for highlighting one of the reasons for such poor performance on the state exam.

 In June 2017, 3082 people took the Florida real estate sales associate exam for the first time. 1610 people passed and 1472 people failed. This is a passing rate of 52% and a failing rate of 48%. Same as usual. Terrible.

 2756 people took the same exam for a second or for a repeated time. 916 people passed while 1840 failed. This is a passing rate of 33% and a failing rate of 67%. Atrocious.

248 people took the Florida real estate broker state exam for the very first time. 153 people passed and 95 people failed. This is a passing rate of 62% and a failing rate of 38%. Bad

 153 people took their broker exam for a second or repeated time. 55 of them passed and 98 of them failed. This is a passing rate of only 36% and a failing rate of 64%. This is horrible.

I just believe they are going to terrible school and they should be going to the Climer School of Real Estate. I have said this many times and I have written this many times: I do not think that this is an accident. I believe there are a lot of reasons why the Pass Fail rates are almost always exactly the same regardless of how many people take exam. If people knew how we do things the Climer School of Real Estate and how we are so different from the other schools, and our success rate, and our happy students, I believe it could most of the schools out of business.

 I have some other numbers for you if you’re reading this blog and are interested. By the end of June 2017, Florida had a total of 180,073 licensed active sales associates. Florida had a total of 20,000 licensed active broker associates. And Florida had a total of 40,141 licensed active brokers.

This is a total of 240, 214 total active licensees. This is an increase in total active licensees of 1939 from May 2017. These were only active licensees.

Florida also had 75,018 current in active sales associates, 17,563 involuntarily in active sales associates, 90 sales associates on suspension and 37 on probation. This increases the number by a little bit, doesn’t it.

 Florida had 5299 current in active broker associates, 1577 involuntarily in active broker associates, 2 on suspension and 5 on probation.

 Florida also has 3455 current in active brokers, 2545 involuntarily in active brokers, and another 12 on suspension and 30 on probation.

 This is a lot of licensees. This means a lot of competition. You owe it to yourself to start off right and go to a good school.

 When you have a lot of licensees in the state of Florida and intersect real estate will there’s a lot of people doing a lot of wrong things and a lot of bad things. So, I thought you might like to know the numbers for the FREC investigation trends.

 In June 2017, The Division of Real Estate (DRE) received 296 complaints. A total of 540 active cases are under active investigation. 10 of these cases have been under investigation for over a year. And unfortunately, the division of real estate only has 34 total investigators. This is why not only do cases take so long but why so many people get away with doing the wrong thing.

 If you see someone real estate acting illegally on unethically, you should turn them in. They hurt the customers, they hurt our industry, and they hurt you.

 The other half of the DRE investigators have to do with brokers escrow accounts. There were only 19 inspections in June 2017 and only eight audits. So far from January to June, there’s only been 131 brokers escrow account investigations and only total of 49 audits.

 There is a total of 26,033 real estate brokerage corporations and 63 active real estate brokerage partnerships. I would imagine that with over 26,000 brokerages, there are more than 19 escrow accounts that require a good investigation and audit.

One more little bit of information you might enjoy. There is plenty of unlicensed activity going on as well. In June 2017, the division of real estate we see 62 complaints on unlicensed activity. There were 89 complaints in May 2017.

 I would say that it takes a few months for step one in the investigation process to be completed. This is the step where they decide whether the complaint is legally sufficient.

In May 2017, they determined that 37 of the ongoing cases were legally sufficient however in June 2017 only 14 of them were legally sufficient.

 Most people believe that there are hundreds and hundreds of instances of unlicensed activity going on in every major city and Metropolitan statistical area. So, this is a drop in the bucket. Once again, we need to police ourselves and clean up our own. If you see something turn them in.

Friends don't let friends attend any other real estate license school but The Climer School of Real Estate!  The best chance that you can give yourself of passing your Florida Sales Associate Real Estate License state exam or your Florida Brokers Real Estate License state exam on your first try is by attending The Climer School of Real Estate in Orlando Florida. 407-822-EXAM (3926).

The 2016 Annual Florida Real Estate License State Exam Pass Fail Performance Summaries

The 2016 Annual Florida Real Estate License State Exam Pass Fail Performance Summaries

How did Florida Real Estate license test takers do at Pearson Vue in 2016? From The Climer School of Real Estate, the Best Real Estate School in central Florida.

The Climer School of Real Estate is the Best Real Estate School in central Florida

By now, everyone knows how I feel about the state of Florida required Real Estate license examination. I do not think that what test takers are tested on is representative of what they need to know in their Real Estate career. 

And everyone who knows me knows that I believe that the exam is more interested in tricking test takers into wrong answers and into failing the test, than in actually testing their knowledge. It’s also well known that I believe that the consistency of statistical pass fail rates, accompanied by the consistency of such a large number of data points with regards to exam takers, reinforces this conclusion. 

 Because I own a Real Estate School and am considered a permit holder, once a month I get the Exam Performance Summary from Pearson Vue, the Bureau of Education and Testing, the Division of Real Estate, and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. In January of every year I not only get the monthly exam performance summary for the previous December I also get the numbers and statistics for the entire previous calendar year. 

So here are the numbers: In all of 2016, from January 1 to December 31, 32,935 people took the Florida Real Estate sales associate examination for their very first time. 16,917 of the passed and 16,018 of them failed. This means that the pass rate for the entire calendar year was 51% in the fail rate for the entire calendar year was 49%. 

 I have written many times that pass rate for first-time test takers month-to-month is consistently 48% to 52% which means that the fail rate for first-time test takers is 40% 52% and I do not think that this is coincidence or accident. 

32,891 people took the Florida Real Estate sales associate exam for a second time or for a reputed time. Of this number 11,010 test takers passed and 21,881 test takers failed. This is a pass rate of 33% and a fail rate of 67%. 

These numbers are also consistent with my blog where I have reported that month to month, every month, the passing rate for repeat test takers is 32% to 38% and the fail rate for repeat test takers is 62% to 68%. 

Again, I do not think that this is coincidence nor do I believe it is an accident that this happens every single. I personally am just thankful that the state does not want more people to fail. 

 Test takers for the Florida Real Estate brokers license see similar statistics although with a smaller number of examinations. In all of calendar year 2016, 2577 people took the Florida Real Estate brokers license exam for the very first time. 1409 passed and 1160 failed. This is a passing rate of 55% in a failing rate of 45%. 

2404 individuals took their Florida Real Estate brokers test for second time or for a repeated time. 924 passed and 1,480 for any of them failed. This represents a passing rate of 30% and a failing rate of 62%. Again, I just do not think that this is an accident. 

Instructors were even worse. In 2016, 89 people took the Florida Real Estate instructor’s license exam for the first time. 29 passed and 60 failed. This is a passing rate of 33% first time and a failure rate of 67% first time. Another 89 people took the Florida Real Estate instructor’s license exam for a second time or for a repeated time. Again, oddly, 29 of them passed and 60 of them failed for a 33% to 67% pass fail rate. It is not so easy to get your Florida Real Estate instructor’s license. 

Here’s something I don’t typically report but I’m wondering if you will find this is interesting as I do. In the entire calendar year of 2016, only six people passed their certified residential appraiser exam. Only seven individuals took the first time. Five of them passed in two of them failed. Six people took that exam for a second or for a repeated time and of the six attempts, there was only one pass with five failures. 

If you have not heard this before you have heard it now – we may be in trouble soon due to a lack of certified licensed appraisers. I will have to blog about this later because I do not think most people realize how unbelievably difficult it is to get your appraiser’s license. And because it is so difficult and you don’t make that much money, I understand why so few people are trying to get in appraiser’s license. It makes a lot more sense to get a Real Estate license. 

I am so proud of the performance of our students from the Climer School Real Estate at Pearson Vue. From all the feedback we get, officially and unofficially, it continues to seem like students from the Climer School Real Estate do better than students from other Schools. This is because of the way that head instructor Andy Brown teaches his students. 

There are a lot of reasons why Andy Brown is the Best Real Estate instructor in central Florida. This is because he not only teaches his students to beat and pass the state exam but he also makes the 60 hours fun and lively and engaging and not boring.

The Climer School of Real Estate is The Best Real Estate School in Florida!

I haven’t posted the pass fail rates in a few months but based on emails and comments, my blogs on that issue were very popular and I will be posting those monthly once again. 

In September of 2016, 2,641 people took the Florida Sales Associate Real Estate Exam for the first time. 1345 passed and 1296 failed. This is a 51% pass rate and a 49% fail rate. 2846 took it for a second or for a repeated time. 928 passed and 1918 failed. This is a 33% pass rate and a 67% failing rate. 

In October of 2016, 2659 people took this exam for the very first time. 1388 of them passed and 1271 of them failed. This is a 52% passing rate and a 48% failing rate. 2529 people took the exam for a second or a repeated time. 883 of them passed it and 1646 of them failed it. This is a 35% passing rate with a 65% failing rate. 

 It is amazing to me that the pass fail rate for this exam is so consistent month after month. 

Every single solitary month the pass fail rate for first time test takers remains between 48 to 52 % passing and 48 to 52 % failing while every single solitary month the pass fail rate for repeaters remains between 32 to 38 % passing and 62 to 68 % failing. 

The Brokers License Test Takers fared the same as always as well. In September of 2016, 22 people took the Florida Brokers License Real Estate Exam for the first time. 120 passed and 102 failed. This is a 54% pass rate and a 46% fail rate. 223 took it for a second or for a repeated time. 90 passed and 133 failed. This is a 40% pass rate and a 60% failing rate. 

In October of 2016, 216 people took this exam for the very first time. 110 of them passed and 106 of them failed. This is a 51% passing rate and a 49% failing rate. 22 people took the exam for a second or a repeated time. 87 of them passed it and 135 of them failed it. This is a 39% passing rate with a 61% failing rate. 

As an added extra, I want to tell you about the Division of Real Estate’s Investigative Reports and Trends for September 2016. The Division of Real Estate received 333 complaints in September of 2016. There are 494 cased under active investigation. There are 12 FREC investigative cases and there is a total of 34 Investigators. The DRE Investigation Unit inspected 13 offices in September and performed 3 Audits. 

 The Department of Business and Professional Regulation or The DBPR hates unlicensed activity more than everything else combined. There were 73 Unlicensed Activity complaints filed in September 2016. 25 of those were deemed legally sufficient. 17 investigations were completed. 11 Cease and Desist Orders were issued. 

 Lastly, just so you know, there were 173,747 Current Active Sales Associate licensees in September 2016 in Florida, 19,776 Current Active Broker Associates, and 40,024 Current Active Brokers. There are 765 Current Active Real Estate Instructors, 245 Inactive Real Estate Instructors, and 1 Real Estate Instructor who is on Probation.

The January 2016 DBPR Real Estate License Numbers and Exam Performance with The Climer School of Real Estate

DBPR Real Estate License Numbers and Exam Performance with The Climer School of Real Estate January 2016

The DBPR has released the January 2016 Exam Performance Summary and its other numbers for the Florida Real Estate Industry

Here’s a spoiler alert: the Exam Performance Numbers for January 2016 are no different than before. 

Andy and Pam in front of The Department of Business and Professional Regulation in Tallahassee

In January 2015; 2,102 people took the Florida Real Estate Sales Associate Exam for the very first time. 1,083 passed and 1,019 failed. This represents a 52% Passing rate and a 48% Failing rate. Nothing new. 

2,404 people took this exam for a second or for a repeated time. 795 passed and 1,609 failed. This is a 33% Passing rate and a 67% Failing rate. Again, nothing new. 

166 people took the Real Estate Broker’s Exam for the first time 96 passed and 70 failed. This is a 58% Passing rate and a 42% Failing rate. 167 people took the Broker’s Exam for a second or a repeated time and 69 passed and 98 failed. This is a 41% Passing rate and a 59% Failing rate. 

The Florida Real Estate Laws and Rules applicants under Mutual Recognition did not do much better. 43 people took this exam for the first time. 22 passed and 21 failed, or 51% passed and 49% failed. 33 people took this exam for a second or a repeated time. 17 passed and 16 failed or 52% passing and 48% failing. 

The Instructor hopefuls did even worse, again. 7 people took their Instructor’s exam for the first time. Only 2 passed and 5 failed for a 29% pass rate and a 71% fail rate. Another 3 people tried this exam for a second or a repeated time. Only 1 of them passed and 2 of them failed for a 33% pass rate and a 67% fail rate. 

It is very interesting to me that the numbers stay so much the same. Doesn’t it make sense that if the Florida Real Estate Commission and the Bureau of Education and Testing wanted the passing numbers to be higher, then they would be higher. 

This is why so many people go to The Climer School of Real Estate when they want to give themselves the best chance possible of passing their exam on their first try. There are a lot of reasons why The Climer School of Real Estate is the Best Real Estate School in Florida. 

By the way, as of March 19, 2016; Pearson Vue will begin charging you $36.75 for each of your Sales Associates and Broker examinations. 

This must be a great time to get into real estate. As of January 2016, there was a grand total of 359,487 Real Estate Licenses of some sort or the other. There were 162,626 Active Sales Associate licenses, 19,332 Active Broker Associates, and 39,302 Active Brokers. 

74,708 Sales Associates are currently voluntarily inactive, 16,843 are involuntarily inactive, 114 are on suspension, 18 are on a probationary status, and 208 are in military status. 

5,493 Broker Associates are voluntary inactive and 1,452 are involuntary inactive. 

3,909 Brokers are voluntary inactive and 2,437 are involuntary inactive. 

There are 710 active real estate instructors, 197 are voluntary inactive, and 124 are involuntary inactive. There is actually one instructor on probation. 

There are 317 Active Real Estate schools, 1 is on suspension, and 118 are involuntary inactive.

In January 2016, 48 complaints were received. Of the current caseload, 21 complaints were found to be ‘Legally Sufficient’, 21 investigations were completed, and 20 ‘Cease & Desist’ orders were issued. 

The total number in January 2016 are 268 total complaints received and being reviewed, 479 total current investigations, 4 FREC investigations that are over 365 days old, and a total of 36 Investigators. 

The Escrow Account Auditing Investigating Sections reported 13 escrow account investigations in January 2016 and 11 escrow account audits. By the way, there were 555 total inspections and 301 audits in 2015. 

Since the number of licensees and Brokers has increased, I expect the number of complaints and investigations to go up correspondingly. 

Did you know that The Climer School of Real Estate now has a 2 Day Accelerated Sales Associate Pre-License Class? If you have a limited amount of time and have a high degree of self-discipline and the ability to self-study, then this class may be for you. Call us to find out more information.

Understanding the September 2015 Florida Real Estate License Exam Performance Statistics!

Understanding the September 2015 Florida Real Estate License Exam Performance Statistics

Florida Real Estate License September 2015 Exam Performance Summary with The Climer School, the Best Real Estate License School in Florida

The Florida Real Estate License September 2015 Exam Performance Summary at Pearson Vue was released and published by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and the Bureau of Education and Testing (BET). 

The results are still dismal. Fortunately, Andy Brown, the Best Real Estate Instructor in Florida, teaches at The Climer School of Real Estate

The Climer School of Real Estate is The Best Real Estate School in Florida

Three thousand and forty nine (3049) people took the Florida Sales Associate Exam for the very first time. One thousand five hundred and sixty two (1562) passed and one thousand four hundred and eighty seven (1487) failed it. 

This is a passing rate of only fifty one percent (51%) and a failing rate of forty nine percent (49%). 

In September, three thousand one hundred and seventy three (3173) people took their Florida Sales Associate Exam for a second or for a repeated time. One thousand and seventy eight (1078) passed it and two thousand and ninety five (2095) failed it. 

This is an appalling passing rate of only thirty four percent (34%) and a failing rate of sixty six percent (66%). 

The Florida Real Estate Brokers did not do much better. Two hundred and forty eight people took their Florida Real Estate Brokers Exam for the very first time. Only one hundred and forty three (143) people passed this test while one hundred and five (105) people failed it. 

 This is a passing rate of fifty eight percent (58%) and a failing rate of forty two percent (42%). 

Two hundred and forty (240) people took the Florida Real Estate Brokers Exam for a second or for a repeated time. Eighty eight (88) passed it and one hundred and fifty two people (152) failed it. 

This is a passing rate of only thirty seven percent (37%) and a failing rate of sixty three percent (63%). 

The Florida Real Estate Instructor Applicants did not do well either. Seven (7) people took the Florida Real Estate instructors Exam for the first time. Only two (2) passed and five (5) failed. 

This is a pass rate of twenty nine percent (29%) and a fail rate of seventy one percent (71%). 

 Eight (8) people took this exam for a second or for a repeated time. Again, only two (2) people passed and six (6) people failed. 

This is a passing rate of twenty five percent (25%) and a failing rate of seventy five percent (75%). 

Why is this happening? It is because the state of Florida likes these numbers. 

They are very good at creating tricky wordy questions. If you want to pass your state exam, you have to become good at beating the tricky questions and good at beating the test makers and question writers at their own game. 

Andy Brown is the best in the state of Florida at teaching his students these tricks. 

Andy teaches his students many proprietary tricks, tips, and techniques to beat the state exam. Andy even teaches you how to answer many of the real estate math questions without turning on your calculator. 

Truly, if you want try and pass your state license exam on your first or your next try, then com to The Climer School of Real Estate!

The Climer School Of Real Estate remains The Best Real Estate School in Florida.

The August 2015 Florida DBPR Real Estate Exam Performance Summary And Pass Fail Rates

The August 2015 Florida DBPR Real Estate Exam Performance Summary And Pass Fail Rates

The August 2015 DBPR Real Estate Exam Monthly Pass Fail Rates from The Climer School of Real Estate, the Best Real Estate License School in central Florida.

The Department of Business and Professional Regulation and their state testing contractor vendor, Pearson Vue, have published their monthly Real Estate Exam Performance Summary. The month of August 2015 is pretty much like all the others. 

From August 1, 2015 through August 31, 2015, a total of 3,098 people took the Florida sales associate real estate exam for their first time. 1,652 passed and 1,446 failed. This is a pass rate of 53% and a fail rate of 47%. 

 2,813 people took their Florida sales associate real estate exam for a second or for a repeated time. A total of 983 passed and 1,830 failed and they had already taken and seen the exam at least once before. This is a pass rate of 35% and a fail rate of 65%. 

 Why are the Pass rates so low and the Fail rates so high? It is my personal belief that the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (the DBPR) want these Pass - Fail rates. The amount of data in the data pool is very important for statistical analysis and relevancy. 

The data base here is very high. Every single month, we have right around a 50% pass rate for those who are taking their sales associate pre-license exam for the first time. Month in and month out we have approximately a 34 to 35% pass rate for those who taking the exam again. 

In August 2015, only 250 people took their Florida Real Estate Broker exam for the first time. 152 of them passed and 98 of them failed. This is a pass rate of 61% and a fail rate of 39%. 

212 people took their Florida real estate broker exam for a second or for a repeated time. Only 73 of them passed and 139 of them failed. This is a pass rate of 34% and a fail rate of 66%. Again, this is about the same Pass - Fail percentage rate as usual. 

It's not the content and information that is so hard, it's that the way that the test and question makers word the questions. Many of the questions are very tricky. Often, it’s not what you know but rather can you beat the test makers at their own game. 

The Climer School of Real Estate is The Best Real Estate School in central Florida

Andy Brown, Head Instructor at the Climer School of Real Estate in Orlando, teaches his students that once you are sitting at your kiosk at your Pearson Vue testing center, your textbook knowledge is only half of the battle. Beating the question makers at their game is the other half. 

Andy Brown teaches his students his “Proprietary Tricks, Tips, and Techniques” to beat the state exam. This is actually one of the most important reasons why his students continually achieve such outstanding results. There are many other reasons why Andy Brown is considered the best real estate instructor in central Florida. 

By the way, the pass fail rates for individuals taking their Florida real estate instructors license exam are not much better. 

As an example in August 2015, 9 people took the instructors license exam for the first time. 4 people passed and 5 people failed. This is a pass rate of 44% and a fail rate of 56%. 

6 people took the Florida real estate instructors exam for a second or for a repeated time. 2 of them passed and 4 of them failed. This is a pass rate of 33% and a fail rate of 67%.

The June 2015 Real Estate State Exam Pass Fail Performance Summary

The June 2015 Florida DBPR Real Estate Exam Pass Fail Rates

The June 2015 DBPR Real Estate Exam Monthly Pass Fail Rates from The Climer School of Real Estate, the Best Real Estate License School in Florida.

Pearson Vue and the DBPR have published the monthly real estate exam performance summary. The month of June 2015 is pretty much like all the others. 


From June 1, 2015 through June 30 2015, a total of 2,833 people took the Florida sales associate real estate exam for their first time. 1,519 passed and 1,314 failed. This is a pass rate of 54% and a fail rate of 46%. 

 2,677 people took their Florida sales associate real estate exam for a second or for a repeated time. A total of 942 passed and 1,735 failed. This is a pass rate of 35% and a fail rate of 65%. 

Why is this? and What is going on? I believe that the state of Florida and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (the DBPR) want these pass fail rates. The data base is too high. Month in and month out we seem to have approximately a 50% pass rate. Month in and month out we have approximately a 34% pass rate for individuals who taken the exam more than once. 

 In June 2015, 194 people took their Florida real estate broker exam for the first time. 131 of them passed and 63 of them failed. This is a pass rate of 68% and a fail rate of 32%. 

 130 people took their Florida real estate broker exam for a second or for a repeated time. 46 of them passed and 84 of them failed. This is a pass rate of 35% and a fail rate of 65%. 

 Once again, this is about the same pass fail percentage rates as always. It's not that the content is difficult, it's that the way the state words the questions are so tricky. Andy Brown, Head Instructor at the Climer School of Real Estate in Orlando, teaches his students that once you are sitting at your kiosk at Pearson Vue in the testing center, the content that you know is only half of the battle. Beating the state exam test makers at their game is the other half. 

 Andy Brown teaches his students his proprietary “Tricks, Tips, and Techniques” to beat the state exam. And he and his students continually achieve outstanding results. There are many reasons why Andy Brown is considered the best real estate instructor in Florida. 

 And by the way, the pass fail rates for individuals taking their Florida real estate instructors license exam is not much better. As an example in June 2015, 5 people took the instructors license exam for the first time. 2 people passed and 3 people failed. 

This is a pass rate of 40% and a fail rate of 60%. 

5 people took the Florida real estate instructors exam for a second or for a repeated time. 3 of them passed and 2 of them failed. This is a pass rate of 60% and a fail rate of 40%. 

None of these tests are easy or guaranteed to pass.

 Are you thinking of getting your Florida real estate sales associate or broker’s license? If you are, then you owe it to yourself to give yourself the best chance possible of passing the state exam on your first try. The only way to do this is to take one of Andy Brown's classes at the Climer School of Real Estate. 

 Oddly enough, those individuals who are trying to get a Florida real state license through mutual recognition and you only have to take it easy on the Florida real estate laws and rules are doing a little bit better but that is better as I think they should be doing. I think at the very least these pass fail rates should be more like what the sales associate and meet broker exam pass fail rates reflect. That's just me. 

 I love helping people pass the state exam. That's how I built my reputation and why my reputation is as good as it is. Let me help you pass your state exam on your first try.
