I just took my tests and passed the National but got a 66% on my Arizona.
I am shocked at this because I thought for sure I failed the National and passed the Arizona.
I am scheduled to retake the Arizona test next week.
My question is this:
I noticed on the Pearson Vue web site that if you fail the State exam twice, you are allowed to come in and view the answers you got wrong for 30 minutes.
Does this mean the tests are the same when you retake them?
I have never retaken it but 66% is very close to passing. The tips on this website really helped me when I was studying – http://realestateliving.com/real-estate-practice-exam
If you're anywhere near Scottsdale, stop into ASREB & buy their cd with practice questions, I think it's $15 or $20. Don't just keep taking the test, you'll keep failing.
I took my test 10 years ago but we (in Florida) only had to pass the course test and then the state test. Is this national test a NAR test? There's no national licensing authority so the only thing I can think of is the NAR ethics course which we also need to do every few years. Scoop?
No "national" test in Georgia, either. The state exam is a four-hour, 150-question exam that combines both national and state-specific questions.
You have to pass your class exam in order to be able to take the state exam. The class exam also gave you four hours for 156 questions. So you were sitting two long exams in close succession. You had two times to take the class exam, and if you didn't pass it, you had to re-take the class. You can keep taking the state exam, if you're willing to pay $130 each shot. (Some people that were there when I was there were taking it for the third and fourth time.)
There should be a requirement that any applicant who fails the real estate exam be required to wait one year and take an additional 300 hours of classwork prior to retaking the exams.
The real estate exam is so unbelievably easy it just does not make sense to allow people to just retake it until they pass. What is the point in that? Even a blind squirrel will eventually find a nut. The extreme simplicity of the exam, coupled with zero actual education requirements, and the low cost of entry is why there are SO MANY bad agents out there.
It really is hard for me to understand how anyone could trust an agent to sell their single largest investment (their home) when that person had difficulty passing something that amounts to nothing more than a high school proficiency exam...It is that easy.

The Arizona test isn't "unbelievably easy". At the school I attended, many of those that failed the Az test were licensed in other states.
Pretty sure there was some sort of carve-out in the law for attorneys as well, something like they had to attend the class, but weren't required to pass to get a license. //glass houses & all
