hi everybody this is joe from prep agent and today i'm going to go over five tips
to help you pass your georgia real estate exam
if you need any additional information or clarification anything i say
check the show notes below as i provide many helpful links.
With that being said, let's go over my five tips.
My first tip for you is don't cause unnecessary stress by rushing
Please plan everything out something i always say in all my webinars is learn
five vocabulary words every morning you plan them out in the night you learn
them in the morning and what i'm getting at is you learn a little bit every day
don't try and cram everything last minute causing a crazy amount of stress
for most of us that causes a lot of problems i know you hear about people
who just study the weekend before and they pass and they are very glorious and
everybody wants to be like them but they are the exception and not the rule
and like many exceptions they are very loud and everybody wants to believe that
that's the way to do it when it's not the majority of people who pass have a
study plan and they do a little bit every day
so by the time the test is around the corner they're pretty much just
reviewing things doing this will minimize the stress and
make sure you're ready for the exam do not wait till the last minute and try
and rush everything and cram everything into one weekend this stuff can be
pretty boring and pretty dry so unless you have a photographic memory
I would not recommend that my next tip is to talk to somebody who
took the georgia real estate exam if you don't know anybody who took the
exam check out some of our videos we do a lot of interviews with people also
Aceable does a terrific blog which is in the show notes below that you can look
at which talks about people who've taken the exam and it discusses what they
found easy what they found hard what they did to ensure their success
do not talk to people took it a long time ago and you definitely don't need
to talk to those people who said it was just so easy it was so easy easy for
them doesn't mean easy for you in fact maybe it's better to talk to
people who struggled and persevered and show some resilience i guarantee those
people know a lot more about the details of the exam than somebody took it years
ago is acting like they know when they don't
or somebody who's just a good test taker and passed it without any trouble at all
so talk to somebody who recently took the exam preferably somebody who
struggled and really had to put a lot of effort into it then i think you'll find
that very helpful in your preparation next one may seem a little obvious
practice makes perfect practice practice practice practice
if you guys don't have any practice tests to go off of go to the acable link
below that i provide in the show notes it has some free practice tests that
will help you pass the georgia real estate exam
you want to do those as much as possible remember i said learn your vocabulary
every morning five words a day or whatever it is
but at some point you're going to nail down that vocabulary after all remember
this is a glorified vocabulary test but once you know those words you got to
put them into practice you got to see how they look in the form
of question that's similar to what you'll see when you take your exam
and that's when that practice comes in much like learning those vocabulary
words you want to plan out a little bit every day to do those questions so in
addition to learning the vocabulary watching the videos that we have on our
prep agent youtube channel attending some webinars
at some point you got to practice taking the test and like i said if you go to
the show notes below we have a link to the aceable website that provides some
great practice tests that will help you pass the georgia real estate exam
the next tip i think is pretty important do not spend a ton of time stressing
about the things that you struggle with remember the test is graded equally
there's not one question that's going to be worth 25 percent of your exam and the
other questions are worth 0.1 percent of the exams not like that
everything's equal and what bothers me is when somebody spends their entire
time stressing on one thing and they never take any time learning the things
that they would find pretty easy. For For example, if you don't like math like many
of us don't I know i don't I wouldn't spend your whole entire time
studying for the math when you could learn all those
vocabulary words to be ready for the rest exam one of my pet peeves when
people say i failed because of the math i failed because of the math
mathematically speaking that's not possible
if five percent of your exam was math i would say well what happened to the
other 95 of the exam you know what happened you spent your entire time
studying on this math that you're probably not going to get right anyway
and you completely ignore the other 95 percent
focus on your strengths nail it down chip away at it and work your way
through when you absolutely know a concept super well then move on to
something else so start with stuff that's easy and then just work your way
forward and if you get to the super hard stuff great if you don't get to the
super hard stuff well you'll still pass you just won't get 100
frankly nobody cares you know what they call the person who got the worst
passing grade on the real estate exam a real estate agent so stop stressing
about your weakness all the time focus on your strengths know enough so you can
pass the exam and move on so you can start selling real estate in the great
state of georgia and last but not least sometimes it
helps people to know a breakdown of what's on the exam i will go through a
breakdown of what's on the exam but just in case there are updates since
i did this video check the links in the show notes below
as the links will take you to updated information
of what's on your georgia real estate exam
as of today the topic breakdown would be agency relationship and contracts
there's 28 questions real property ownership and interest has 13 questions
finance 14 questions marketing regulation 10 questions property
management 8 questions and real estate calculations 13 questions that's a fancy
word for math i know scary don't worry remember what i said before
well i hope that helped this is joe from prep agent and those are five tips to
help you pass the georgia real estate exam and as always keep it concise and
keep it simple.
