I just passed my NY REAL ESTATE EXAM FIRST TRY 🥳
I was so nervous. I think what really helped was the state required 77 hour class I took with RELNY. The lady who teaches the class previously mentioned that she used to write the questions for the DOS real estate license exams. She informed her students that the state encourages them to write trick questions. That’s when I knew it wasn’t about knowing the concepts, but how in depth you understand them to the degree wording won’t throw you off. Even after I passed her class I would go back and retake her quizzes until I got 100% on each of them.
For the most part her questions were very similar to those on the test.
The main concepts they tested were:
-License Law & Regulations -Law of Agency -Legal issues -Land Use Regulations -Condominiums vs Cooperatives -Property Management -different types of liens -municipal agencies -construction & environmental issues
I found it really helpful that my proctor informed us that you can still pass with getting 22 wrong. I zoomed through the questions I was confident about & noted the ones I was iffy about, which ended up being less than 22. I then went back around and spent a little more time on them recalling the concepts. (highly recommend everyone doing this).
