Texas Real Estate License Exam Prep

So at this point, you have completed all of your Texas real estate pre-licensing courses, you’ve completed your application, paid for your fees, and have setup a date and time to take the final exam. OK, so now you have to pass the test, the pressure is on. I know you have to pay every time you take the test, so let me give you some tips so you have the best chance at passing the test the first time.

Here’s some encouragement. I am licensed Texas real estate agent and I passed the test on the FIRST TRY! A lot of people said it couldn’t be done, but you absolutely can pass it the first time!

Look, the test I took was standardized, and I’m sure it will be for you too. That means multiple choice. So let’s look at a few tips to get you passed:

• Get up early on the test day, and travel to the testing center will before the test starts. You don’t want to be stressed out trying to make it to the testing center on time!
• Take several deep breaths, and remember, you CAN do this.
• Find out how much time you have for the entire test, and how many questions are on the test. Then calculate how much time you have to answer each question.
• During the test, be aware of a question that is taking to long to answer. You can always answer it, jot down the question number, and come back to it later.
• Read each question all the way. Small words like “not” can completely change the meaning, and you don’t want to know the right answer, but still get the question wrong…
• Use deductive reasoning. Hey, if you can eliminate all but 2 possible right answers, then you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right!
• Here’s the most important, yet often overlooked tip I can give you. Answer EVERY question. An question unanswered is wrong 100% of the time, so be sure to answer everything, even if it is a flat out guess!

These are great test taking tips, and I encourage you to use them when taking your Texas real estate license exam. They WILL help you. Remember, I passed the test on the first attempt, and you can too! So best of luck, and let me know when you become a licensed Texas real estate agent!
