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.

     Kathy asked him,"Do you want my advice or do you want to try again at $31.50 per try?".  He told her that he wanted her advice.

     She told him to:   Read the textbook cover to cover
                               Answer the 400 questions in the "Exam Manual"
                               Pass the free 100 question test in the back of the textbook.
                               Pass the free 100 question test at Climer School's website.
                               Make 500 flash cards out of 3x5 cards.
                               Watch all twelve free real estate math videos on You Tube.  There is a playlist.
                               Listen to Ron Climer's review audio CD review class.
                               Read the "Candidate's Handbook"
                               Take candy and a smile to the Pearson Vue clerk.
                               Take your real estate school certificate with you every time you go to the exam.

Florida Real Estate Exam Pass Fail Ratio For May 2014

     The Florida Real Estate Commission released the pass fail ratios for the Florida real estate exam for May of 2014.  In May of 2014, Two thousand, five hundred and  fifty nine real estate license applicants attempted the Florida real estate exam for the first time  to get their Florida real estate sales associate license. One thousand, two hundred and ninety passed.  They were happy.  One thousand, two hundred and sixty nine failed.  They were sad.  They all paid $31.50 for the experience. That is very close to a fifty fifty pass ratio.

Florida Real Estate Exam Pass Ratio for May, 2014
     If you intend to pass the Florida real estate exam, you need to be studying.  Why is the pass rate for the Florida real estate exam so dismal?  I don't think most real estate instructors at Florida real estate schools tell their students how tough the Florida real estate exam is.

     I have lots of students that attend my two day state exam prep course.  Many people call this the "cram course".  Many students that attend this course did not take their basic real estate course from us.  They took their basic course from a competitive real estate school.  Most of them tell me that their real estate instructor did not tell them that the Florida real estate exam was tough.

     I tell my students that the state exam is tough.  I have the pass fail result sheets from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation posted right on the wall of our real estate classroom.  I want my students to know that the Florida real estate exam is no picnic.

     I tell my students that ten percent of the Florida real estate exam is math.  I advise them to watch my free real estate math videos on You Tube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO8Nq_eny0w

     I advise my students to study for the Florida real estate exam from Linda Crawford's "Exam Manual for Real Estate Sales Associates"  This is unquestionably the best study aid available for studying for the Florida real estate exam.

     I advise my foreign language speaking students to take a foreign language  dictionary with them to the Florida real estate exam.  Many foreign language speaking students show up at my two day review and tell me they have never heard this from their instructor. 

     Many students tell me they have never read the "Candidate's Handbook".  This is a little booklet that tells you what is on the exam.  It has a bunch of tips for passing the Florida real estate exam.  If you don't have the "Candidate's Handbook", contact Kathy at www.climerrealestateschool.com Kathy will send you a handbook for free.

     I encourage mt students to make flashcards.  This is a great study aid to study for the Florida real estate exam.  Take 3x5 cards and write, "What kind of mortgage has partial release clauses?" on one side of the card and write,"Blanket mortgage" on the other side.  Play with these cards while sitting at red lights and other activities.  Use them with your classmates.  Flashcards are a fabulous study aid for the Florida real estate test.

     You would think that repeat test takers would do better than first time test takers.  The facts do not bear that out.  In May, 2499 applicants took the Florida real estate exam for the second or third or fourth or fifth time.  802 passed. 1697 failed.  That is a 32% pass rate.  They all paid $31.50 every time they took the Florida real estate exam.  I think your best bet is to pass the Florida real estate exam the first time you take it.  If we can help you pass the Florida real estate test,  please call us at 407 822 3926

From The Horse's Mouth at The Department of Business and Professional Regulation

     Last year, for the first time in my teaching career, we ( real estate instructors ) received a memo from the DBPR. telling us a few things that we real estate instructors better be "concentrating" on in our real estate classes.  http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/3840/blog_posts/27250-floridas-real-estate-exam-pass-rate

     This memo from Susan turned out to be a list of questions that were frequently on the Florida real estate exam.  A new 'memo' came today, February 2014.  Here is what it says:

     Helpful Hints for Instructors and Examinees

     Number one,  Familiarize candidates and students with the Sales Comparison Approach.

     Example or practice questions would be helpful in their studies, but please make them aware that all adjustments must be made to the comparable property, not to the subject property.

     If you have been in my real estate class, you know this is exactly how I teach this.  In the 36th edition of Linda Crawford's textbook on page 342, there is a box between line 34 and 35 in Chapter 15.  It looks like this.
                                 C omp     C omp
                                 B etter      I nferior
                                 S ubtract   A dd
I tell the students to look at that box and write this down under that box.  I tell the students to write this down EXACTLY the way I say it. I tell them to write:  Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never  adjust the subject.  Do not adjust the subject. Don't adjust the subject.  Always adjust the Comp.

                                  POP QUIZ
If the subject property has a pool.  Comparable does not.  A pool is worth $10,000. Do we?
A add $10,000 to the subject
B subtract $10,000 from the subject
C add $10,000 to the comp.
D subtract $10,000 from the comp.

A and B can not possibly be correct because we never adjust the subject.  Using our memory peg, CBS CIA, we add $10,000 to the comparable because the comparable is inferior. I may be mistaken but I don't think my students are missing that question.

     Number two  Have students review 61-J2 - 10030 F.A.C.   If you sell a bad rental list to a customer, they are entitled to a 100% refund if they demand it within 30 days.

     Number three   This is a quote " A section is one square mile."  A township is six miles square.

     That is it for Susan's memo.

     If you are soon taking the Florida real estate exam, know these three things.  If Climer School of Real Estate can help you pass the Florida real estate exam, contact us at www.climerrealestateschool.com In January 2014, fifty four per cent of the people that took the Florida real estate exam paid $31.50 to come back and try again.  The repeaters did even worse.  Do not underestimate the Florida real estate exam.   www.floridarealestateexam.net  




Florida Real Estate Exam, Pass Fail Rates for January 2014

     Pearson Vue gave the Florida real estate exam to One thousand nine hundred and sixty people in January of 2014.  Eight hundred, ninety four passed.  One thousand, sixty six failed.  They all paid thirty one dollars and fifty cents for the experience.  That is a forty six per cent pass rate.

     As a real estate instructor, I am often asked why the Florida real estate exam is so tough.  The test is not designed to be a picnic.  The Department of Business and Professional Regulation wants to make the test tough enough that they know that the applicant knows the laws of the state of Florida.

     The reason fifty four per cent of the people that take the Florida real estate sales associate  exam fail is fifty four per cent of the applicants are not prepared.  Many people that go take the Florida real estate exam for the first time are totally surprised.  No one told them that the Florida real estate exam was tough.  Their real estate instructor did not tell them what to expect.  Their peers did not tell them.  They probably did not know either.  The sales manager at the real estate office did not tell them.  Let me tell you.  The Florida real estate exam is tough.  Do not underestimate this test.  If you are unprepared, get ready to be shocked.  Prepare.

     Start by getting a copy of the "Candidate's Handbook" .  This little booklet has a outline of what is on the Florida real estate exam.  If you are soon taking the Florida real estate exam, you need this booklet.  If you don't have it, call Kathy at 407 822 3926.  She will send you a free copy of this valuable booklet.  If you have not read this article, read it before you go take the Florida real estate exam.  http://ronclimer.blogspot.com/2013/11/could-you-email-me-list-of-what-i.html   This will help.

     At Climer School of Real Estate, we want to part of the solution to this problem.  We have posted twelve free real estate math videos on You Tube.  Our user name is Climer School.  It is  free.  It is as easy as I can possibly make  it.  On these videos, we teach you the math that is on the Florida real estate exam.  The exam is ten per cent math.  It is easier to pass if you get ten out of ten on the math.  Why would anyone spend $31.50 to go take the Florida real estate exam without watching these free videos?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICJEr5Zm6OM  Here is a link.  If you are soon taking the Florida real estate exam, watch these videos.  If you know someone soon to take the exam, send them this link.  They will thank you.  If you have already taken the Florida real estate exam, You know what the math questions are.  Do they look familiar to the ones on my twelve videos?  Are they the same?  Yes, they are.
You need to know how to compute deed stamps.  You need to know how to compute note stamps.  You need to know how to compute intangible tax.  You need to know how to compute interest.  You need to know how to compute acreage.  You need to compute next year's rent in a lease that is indexed to the CPI. You need to be able to compute commission.  If you can't, you will probably be in the fifty four  per cent that are paying $31.50 to try again.

     If an applicant took their basic real estate course online from a discount gypsy real estate school that specializes in all fifty states, they have to know that they are at an extreme disadvantage.  If an applicant took their basic real estate course from us, we know that they have been exposed to what is  on the Florida real estate exam.    We don't teach what is on the other forty nine state exams.  Even if you took your online real estate class from us, did you use your notes and books to help you pass the real estate school test.  If you did, be aware that you can not use your books and notes to pass the Florida real estate exam.

     How can you know if you are ready for the Florida real estate exam?  It is simple.  Go to my website at www.climerrealestateschool.com Take the practice exam that I have there.  If you make an eighty something on my practice test, you are ready.  If you make less than seventy five on my test, you will probably make less than seventy five on the big one.  Mine is free.  Pearson Vue charges $31.50 per try.

     At Climer School of Real Estate, we teach a two day state exam review class.  It is fifteen hours of me telling the applicants what is on the Florida real estate exam.  Most people take this class just a day or two before the take the Florida real estate exam.  Many students call this the real estate exam "cram course".  Most of the students in this class have already taken the Florida real estate exam.  In January of 2014, I had a young student attend this class that had already taken the state exam sixteen times at $31.50 per try.  He passed on attempt number seventeen.  He sent me an email thanking me for the review class and pondering why he did not seek me out sooner.

     If you are soon taking the Florida real estate exam, attend this class.  We teach it at 5104 North Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando.  If you can not attend this class, we have it on video and audio discs.  We also have it online.  Check out the details at www.climerrealestateschool.com  .  Lots of people with a tight budget don't attend the class but the buy the textbook, Linda Crawford's "Exam Manual".  This is the least expensive, best study aid you can lay your hands on. Call Kathy at 407 822 3926 for the details on that.

     The Florida real estate exam is not easy.  Thirty one dollars and fifty cents is not peanuts.  If we can help you pass the Florida real estate exam, contact us.  Our mission is to make getting your Florida real estate license a pleasant experience.     http://www.floridarealestateexam.net/         Have you seen this site?

Florida Real Estate Exam, I Know I Am Doing Some Good

     When I teach my Florida real estate exam review class, over half the students are not my students.  They took their basic Principles and Practice of Real Estate class at some other real estate school.  Some took their course from another local real estate school.  Some took their real estate course online from a real estate school in another state.

     Many of these students have taken their Florida real estate exam many times.  Their problem is that they are studying the wrong stuff.  You have to study what is on the Florida real estate exam.

     I am positive that what I am teaching is what is on the Florida real estate exam.  Why am I so certain?  I teach these "cram courses" two times a month.  I have an opportunity to meet with people that have taken the Florida real estate exam recently.  Often recently means yesterday.  These classes are as much a debriefing for me as it is a learning experience for the students.

     I know I am doing the students a lot of good.  They tell me during the breaks that much of what I am teaching they have never heard before.  They tell me this.

     If you are studying the wrong material, you can memorize your study material and this will do you no good.  You must be studying what is on the Florida real estate test.

     If you are soon taking the Florida real estate exam, a good place to start is to watch the twelve real estate math videos that I have on You Tube.  The Florida real estate exam is ten per cent math.  All the math that you need to know is on these twelve videos.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZb_k4kq9h0&list=PLTlWnUQfSQrsQkjcqD2qtf59of7sPHA6v  If you have already taken the Florida real estate exam, you will recognize some of these math problems that are on these videos.   If you are soon to take the Florida real estate exam for the first time, take my word for it.  The math on my free videos is the math that is on the state exam.  Watch all twelve of these videos.  It costs $31.50 every time you take the Florida  real estate exam.                                                         www.climerrealestateschool.com

Florida Real Estate Exam, Who Does Not Have To Take It?

     Attorneys that are members of the Florida Bar do not have to take the basic (FREC 1) course but they do have to pass the Florida real estate exam.

     Graduates of a Florida university with a degree in real estate do not have to take the basic (FREC 1) course but they have to pass the Florida real estate exam to get a Florida real estate license.

     People that are using mutual recognition from another state to get their Florida real estate license do not have to take the real Florida real estate exam.  People that have a real estate license in a mutually recognized state do not have to take the one hundred question state exam.  They have to take a forty question Florida specific exam.  That is a little less painless.

     If you need help passing your Florida real estate exam, check out our free real estate math videos that we have posted on You Tube to help you pass.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvjBlpgUpFE  There are twelve of these free videos on You Tube.  The pass fail rate for the Florida real estate exam is fifty per cent for first time takers and thirty three per cent for repeat takers.  This test is not easy.  Take the effort to watch the videos if you are soon taking the Florida real estate exam.

     We also have a free practice exam on our website at www.climerrealestateschool.com  If you are soon to take the Florida real estate exam, practice on mine.  Mine is free.  Pearson Vue charges $31.50 every time you take the Florida real estate test. If you fail mine, you will probably fail the real one unless you study more.  Do not underestimate this exam.  If you need any additional
study aids, call Kathy at 407 822 3926

Sample Questions For The Florida Real Estate Exam

     Sample questions are probably one of the best ways to study for the Florida real estate exam.  They are certainly the most popular method of study.  People seem to like sample questions.

     After we put up our free real estate exam math questions on You Tube, I put up a video of sample questions at   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyG8M7pGK0s   If you are taking the Florida real estate exam soon, spend a few minutes watching this video.

     Linda Crawford's "Exam Manual"  is not only the best real estate exam study aid known to man.  It has four hundred practice questions in the back.  Many of my students at Climer School of Real Estate tell me these questions are very similar to the real questions on the Florida real estate exam.

     We also have a one hundred sample question test on our website at www.climerrealestateschool.com .  If you are taking the Florida real estate exam soon, go take my practice test.  If you don't pass mine, you won't pass the Florida real estate exam.  Mine is free.  Pearson Vue charges $31.50 per try.

     Avail yourself to these sample questions and practice tests.  It is a perfect easy way to study for the state exam.  Do not underestimate this very difficult exam.  The pass rate last month was 49% for first time takers and 32% for repeaters.

Florida Real Estate Exam's Pass Fail Results For September 2013

     The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has just released the September 2013 results for the Florida real estate exam.

     One thousand nine hundred and ninety one real estate sales associate candidates paid $31.50 to take the Florida real estate exam from Pearson Vue in September.  Nine hundred and fifty eight passed.  One thousand and thirty three will be back paying $31.50 to take the test again.  That is a 48% pass rate.

     In September, two thousand four hundred and thirty two took the Florida real estate test for the second or third or fourth or fifth time.  Seven hundred sixty seven passed.  That is a 32% pass rate.  This Florida real estate exam is not easy.

     If you took your basic Florida real estate course online, you probably used your notes and books when you took your school exam.  You can't use books and notes on the Florida real estate exam that Pearson Vue gives.  You can use a translation dictionary if you speak a foreign language.  Take one with you.

     If you are going to take the Florida real estate exam soon, here is a few suggestions.

     Read the "Candidate's Handbook".  This book tells you what is on the Florida real estate test.  Kathy at Climer School of Real Estate in Orlando gets calls from people all over the state of Florida that have taken the test and NOT read this little book.  This book tells you what is on the Florida real estate exam.  If you have not read this book, call Kathy at 407 822 3926.  She will send you a free copy.

     Speaking of free help, why would anyone go spend $31.50 to take the test without watching Climer School's free real estate math videos on You Tube?  Our user name on You Tube is "Climer School".  There are twelve math videos posted on You Tube to help you pass the math portion of the Florida real estate exam.  The math is ten per cent of the test.  It is very difficult to pass the Florida real estate exam without getting ten out of ten on the math.  If you are struggling with the math, maybe your real estate instructor did a poor job of explaining it.  Watch Ron Climer's free math videos.  It will help you pass.  These videos are also on our website at www.climerrealestateschool.com .


     At Climer School of Real Estate in Orlando, we teach a two day Florida real estate review.  Attend this if you are near Orlando.  It is me telling you exactly  what is on the FLORIDA real estate exam. 

     We understand that many people can not attend this live seminar.  We put it on audio CD.  Call Kathy at 407 822 3826 for the details on this.  After we started selling the audio CDs, people started to ask for the cram course on video.  Now we have it on video DVD.  Then people started to ask for access online so they could get it faster.  Now we have it on line.  Check our website if you need help passing the Florida real estate exam.

     When we teach our live two day "Pass the Florida Real Estate Exam The Next Time" seminar, we use Linda Crawford's "Exam Manual For Florida Sales Associates and Brokers".  This book is the very best study aid available if you want to pass the FLORIDA real estate exam.  Call Kathy if you don't have it.

     Most of the students that attend my two day Florida real estate exam cram course did not take their basic real estate course at Climer School of Real Estate.  Many of them took their basic course from a online real estate school from another state.  Much of the information they have learned is useless for the Florida real estate exam.  Call Kathy and buy the "Exam Manual" of you are soon taking the Florida real estate exam.

     Many people go take the exam for the second time without reading the material that Pearson Vue gives you when you fail.  When you fail the test, Pearson Vue gives you a sheet from the DBPR with "study suggestions" for the next time.  Many people don't even look at this sheet.  This stuff is on the test.  Study it.  All of this stuff will be on your next exam.  If you want a free copy of this sheet, call Kathy she will send you one.

     If we can help you pass the Florida real estate exam, contact us at 407 822 3926 or www.climerrealestateschool.com .

Florida Real Estate Exam Pass Fail Results For August 2013

     The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has released August's pass fail results for the Florida real estate exam.  The new pass rate is slightly better than July.

     In August 2013, two thousand two hundred and fifteen applicants paid Pearson Vue $31.50 to try the Florida real estate exam for the first time.  They were all high school graduates.  They all graduated from a 60 hour basic real estate class at a real estate school.  Some of them took this class in a classroom.  Some of them took this real estate class online.

     Of the 2215 first time test takers, 1025 of them passed.  That is a 46% pass rate.  That is the best pass rate since the DBPR launched their new Florida real estate exam in February 2013 .  At the same time 2529 repeat test takers took their Florida real estate exam for the second, third,forth or fifth time.  798 of these repeat test takers passed.  That is a 32% pass rate for the repeaters.  You would think the repeaters would do better than the first timers.  It costs $31.50 every time you take the Florida real estate exam.

     I would think many first timers don't know what to expect.  After you have made a fifty per cent on a test you thought you were ready for, you might start looking for some help.

     If you are looking for some help, a good place to start is watching the twelve real estate math videos that I have posted on You Tube.  If you have already taken the Florida real estate exam, you will recognize these problems.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZb_k4kq9h0&feature=c4-overview&list=UUyBcLU3Ccx-ZxAyemcXWd1w    Here is a link to one.  There are eleven others.  If you are taking the Florida real estate exam soon, you need to watch all twelve of these.  They are free.  There is no easier way to learn the real estate exam math.

     If you want to know if you are ready for the Florida real estate exam, take my one  hundred question practice test on my website at www.climerrealestateschool.com .  If you have already had the practice test at Pearson Vue ( the one that costs $31.50 ) ,  they gave you a sheet with a few study suggestions.  This is exactly what you need to be studying.  This material will be on your next test.  If you don't have this sheet, call Kathy at 407 822 3926.  She will send you a complimentary copy. 

     Read  your "Candidate's Handbook"  It has a breakdown of what is on the exam.  If you need a lot of help, call Kathy and ask her about Linda Crawford's " Exam Manual for Florida Real Estate Associates"  This is the book that we use at our two day state exam review.  Many people call this the cram course.

       Linda Crawford is a professor at the University of Florida.  Her exam manual is the best study guide to study for the Florida exam.  Many people took their basic course at a real estate school from another state.  They have been studying material to help them pass a national exam.  We don't have a national exam in Florida .  You need to be sure you are studying what is on the Florida exam.

Florida Real Estate Exam

     Can I pass the Florida real estate exam first time?   The pass rate last month (July 2013) was 44% for first time takers and 27% for retakers.

     How can I know if I am ready for the Florida real estate exam?  You could take Climer School of Real Estate's free practice test at my website,  www.climerrealestateschool.com.  If you take that free exam and fail it, what does that mean?  It means you are not ready to go pay Pearson Vue $31.50 to take the Florida real estate test.

     What should you be studying?  If you took your basic real estate course from a real estate school that is not in Florida, it would probably be a good idea to start studying what is on the Florida real estate exam. 

     On You Tube, I have posted twelve free real estate math videos that take all the mystery out of the math that is on the Florida real estate exam.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ_gTg35GIs&list=TLIxIKxrX5zSU  If you have not watched all twelve of these free videos, what are you waiting for?  This is the math that is on the Florida real estate exam.

The Florida Real Estate Exam, Analyzing The Questions Correctly

     Many people tell me that all four of the choices for the questions on the Florida real estate exam seem correct or all four choices seem incorrect.  You need to learn to analyze the question choices on the Florida real estate exam.  Is the choice true or false. 

     A student called me yesterday to ask about a question that he encountered on the Florida real estate exam.  The question was about the fair housing act.  When students explain questions to me, I never know if they have the question right or close to right.  The student tells me that the question states," Mr. Real Estate Agent shows a house to an African American prospect in an African American neighborhood in central Florida. The prospect asks a question.   The real estate agent  can assume...........? "

     A. The prospect wants to be in an African American neighborhood.
     B. The prospect does not want to be in a African American neighborhood.
     C. The prospect is concerned about the ethnicity of the neighborhood.
     D.  The prospect likes the architectural style of the house.  

     It is important that you read the Florida real estate exam question carefully.  It is important that you understand the question.  The question is:  what can the real estate agent assume?  The exam question stated that the prospect asked a question.  We don't know what that question was.   Our question is what can the salesman assume.

     A. If the real estate salesman assumes that the prospect wants to be in an African American neighborhood, he is steering.  This is a violation of the Fair Housing Act. This choice is wrong.
     B.  If the real estate agent assumes that the prospect does not want to be in an African American neighborhood, he is steering.  This is a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.  This choice is wrong.
     C.  If the real estate salesman assumes the prospect is concerned about the ethnicity of the neighborhood, he is steering.  This is a violation of Fair Housing Act.  This choice is wrong.
     D. It would be OK for the real estate salesman to assume that the prospect likes the architectural style of the house.  This is not a violation of any law.  This is the best answer.

     As we read this and other questions we wish we could ask questions like," What did the prospect ask?".  We wish we could but we can't.  A smart test taker will not add or subtract to the questions on the Florida real estate exam.  Everything on the Florida real estate exam depends on the choices.  You can't write in an answer.  You have to go with the choices. It is not like one answer is dead right and three are dead wrong.  Which is the best answer?

     As you read the question, make sure you understand the question.  Carefully read the choices and ask yourself,"Is this choice true or false?".  If it is false, it can not be the right answer. 

     The more you know, the easier it is to discern the wrong answers.  If you would like to practice before you go spend $31.50 taking your Florida real Estate exam at Pearson Vue in central Florida, take the practice test on my website at www.climerrealestateschool.com .  This is free, easy, effective and painless.  If you are taking the Florida real estate exam soon, why would you pass on this.  If you are taking the Florida real estate exam for the second time, be sure to know all the stuff that is on that sheet Pearson Vue gave you about frequently  missed questions.  If you are taking the Florida real estate exam soon, watch all eleven of my free real estate math videos on You Tube.  My user name is Climer School.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-J6kid1FTs&feature=c4-overview&list=UUyBcLU3Ccx-ZxAyemcXWd1w   A lady called me recently and told me she had failed the Florida real estate exam three times.  She made a 73,72, and a 74.  The best she had done was on the math was six out of ten.  She said she watched my free math videos.  She said she only watched the ones if the problems I was teaching looked familiar from the Florida real estate exam.  The link above is
a new problem on the new Florida real estate exam. 

       If we can do anything to help you pass your Florida real estate exam, call Kathy at 407 822 3926.  While you have Kathy on the line ask her to send you the free Florida Real Estate Handbook.  This book has a breakdown of what is on the Florida real estate exam.

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.
