FLEX STUDY SYSTEM The #1 reason people will fail their State Exam is "LACK OF SUFFICIENT STUDY TIME!" It had been traditional for many years for schools like ours to hold a live lecture series in order to relay the subject matter that was to appear on the State Exam. However over the years we discovered this type of method really inhibited our students from passing their tests and posed some serious problems. First, students would often miss classes because class scheduling was inconvenient. Secondly, students were "dragging the program out too long," causing them to forget the information they had learned in the beginning sessions. The biggest draw back was that they could listen to the presentation only one time. Keep in mind everything you do in order to prepare for this exam doesn't really train for any of the Real Estate fields. Approximately 90% of the information you really never use again, although you will be provided with a basic understanding of real estate terms, laws and procedures. State Exam: 150 multiple-choice question & answer quiz The information you will learn is comprised of subject matter and terminology and is easier to comprehend than most of our students have anticipated. However it covers a huge scope of information that will need to be memorized. To help each of our students to accomplish this task, we have perfected a study process that provides the use of materials that can virtually be reviewed anytime, anywhere!...We call this our FLEX STUDY SYSTEM! SALES AGENT LICENSE QUALIFYING TO TAKE SALES EXAM The DRE (Department of Real Estate) currently requires that three (3) courses be completed prior to scheduling a testing date. Two are mandatory: PRINCIPLES and PRACTICE. The third (3rd) is an ELECTIVE (we offer a choice of DRE Approved Courses in: Appraisal, Ecomonics, Escrow, Finance, Law [Legal Aspects], Mortgage Loan Brokering or Property Management). The DRE may grant a waiver to taking a specific course(s) if you have already taken it/them and have proof of completion in the form of either a Certificate of Completion from a private school or transcript(s) from a college or university. There are also waivers for the elective course, if having taken an approved course in Macro or Micro Economics, General Accounting or Business Law. For other possible waivers go to the DRE website at DRE.CA.GOV. COMPLETION TIME FOR EACH COURSE We provide the required courses through the use of DRE Approved "Home Study" programs. These courses are by far the quickest and most convenient way to complete this portion of your studies. Each course is "self-paced" and for those motivated, each separate course can be completed in as little as 2-1/2 weeks. Those wanting to take their time have up to 1 year to complete the course(s).
