I took my test yesterday and passed the national portion of it the first try in Texas , the test is not as hard as people make it seem, it’s honestly really easy if you know your information, the question are pretty simple, I didn’t see not one complicated question, and the math is not hard at all, my advice is stop procrastinating,take your time with studying and understanding the information and stop worrying too much about it, you’ll be just fine.
I just passed my exam 6/3, I watched multiple videos of yours while studying before my exam. It was actually easier than expected and I ACED it. I’d like to give thanks to you and your buddy that helps you with these videos! Thank you Joe and Prep Agent team!!
To piggyback on what a lot have said in the comments section; these videos as well as the Prep Agent website were so helpful. I passed my CA Real Estate exam yesterday 10.17.23 on my first try! For those who are in the process of taking the test, you got this! I highly recommend watching most/all these videos to have a greater understanding of the key words, and do a ton of practice exams. Good luck to everyone and thanks Joe!
8 months ago I signed up for the course studied with prep agent failed the exam once passed on the 2nd attempt and can officially say I just listed my 1st house and also helping another client look for a property!! Never give up it’s doable just be disciplined and stay focused thanks Joe, Stu and the rest of the prep agent team
Hi Joe!! I took my real estate test yesterday and passed and I had to come and and give a big thank you to you because your videos as well as the prep agent app access I purchased helped me tremendously and you’re a big part of the reason why I did pass. Please don’t stop doing what you are doing as you are helping changing the lives of many! ❤️🤞🏾
Thanks Joe (prep Agent). I passed my real estate exam last week. I appreciate your webinars. I listen to them while I work around my home. Keep being the blessing that you are. 🙏
I passed my salesperson exam yesterday in CA first try!!! Thank you so so so much Joe, absolutely a life saver. I paid for it myself and only studied for a straight 6 days using the prep agent practice exams. For all who's wondering, the prep agent stuff REALLY WORKS! Good luck!!
I took my real estate test yesterday and passed, it was my first time! I’m extremely grateful for your videos as they were the most helpful. I will be sure to recommend everyone I know studying to come to this channel! I’m so excited, as soon as I seen some questions I could hear your voice talking to me 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 thanksss so much, seriously!
To all those who are here keep watching and learning. Joe thank you so much for your videos. I passed my exam this morning after I took for 2am and at 4:45am I passed it in Florida on my first try. I have chronic health challenges and this is my third license for ways for me to find who I am in life. I am massage and life insurance licensed and now I am real estate. I believe in all of you here. You come from all types of backgrounds and you can it no matter how many tries it's not about that. It's about the journey and you being the best you can be. I believe you will get it no matter what!
Just got licensed last week! I wholeheartedly believe Prep Agent, and especially Joe, helped to make this happen! Thank you Prep Agent team…you all rock!!
I passed my Alabama Real Estate Exam today. I credit Joe and his team. You made it simple to understand….You were wonderful and fun to listen to. Thank you much 🙌🏼
Took it and passed first try. Watched these videos for months, took practice tests and on the practice app with daily quiz and printed random real estate terms to study.
Just took the national test today and passed. Let me tell you, out of your videos including the webinars, I'd say about 5% of your questions were similar to the questions on my test. Less than 10 math questions. I'm sure every test is different, but that was rough. Glad to have passed and be done with it.
I want to thank you for your videos they are the BEST. Thanks to them I passed my Real Estate Exam on my 1st try. All your videos are very EASY to understand and helpful.
Joe Juter is the man! Learned so much watching Joe’s real estate videos. More than that we got to know Joe and the team along the way. I’m happy Joe found his niche in life and is helping people achieve their real estate goals. This is the type of legacy that a lot of people seek in life but never achieve. Thanks again Joe. Bob M.
I finally passed my Texas Real Estate Exam today!!! Thank you so much Joe! Your videos really helped. I first took the test a month ago and missed both portions by 1 POINT!! When I returned home, I found the Prep Agent RUclips channel. I started watching the videos and made sure I knew my vocabulary. I am so ecstatic!! I'm a single mom including a set of triplets and this was so important to me. Thank you again Joe and the Prep Agent staff.... You guys are awesome!! To those still in the fight..... don't give up!!
@@asworld1789 Hi! I do apologize for not responding sooner. If you're in Texas, the exam is a bit overwhelming but with knowing and understanding your definitions helps a lot. I studied for about 3 months but that was sporadic as I have a family to tend to. After I missed the exam by 1 point, I studied EVERYDAY, every chance I got....making a point to watch the Prep Agent videos and I placed flash cards all over my home 😂 whatever it took to help me retain the info. I also used Quizlet, which helped with the state portion of the exam. I hope all goes well for you and if there is anything else that you need to know please don't hesitate to reach out 🤗
Hello Joe(Prep Agent) and hello everyone else as well. First I want to say congratulations to everyone on here who have said they passed their exam's. Good luck to everyone still studying for theirs. I am pretty decent when it comes to test but I still get nervous. I havent even started my course yet, but I have been watching videos for a little bit now. I feel like it helps me pay attention better when I have prepped a little even before the course. When I hear certain words, numbers, or sayings it brings me back to something I have heard and helps me lock it in some how. Its just something I have done. In school I use to go to the practice test at the end of each chapter review those questions and then used them as notes as we was going through the chapter if that makes sense. Its something like when you write something down and you hear it you are like ohh yeah I remember seeing that. So I am preparing to start my course for Tennessee. I see different States have watched your videos. I dont want to watch a bunch of wrong ones but so far these ones have seemed so good and the reviews and things people are saying just keeps me feeling like these are the videos to watch. I just want to make sure these will be ok for the Tennessee exam as well. I feel like no matter what State its all going to be pretty much the same I just do not want to get myself more confused then me already second guessing myself. Thanks in advance and sorry for such a long comment.
These videos are great! I listened to them over and over while going about my day and I do believe they helped me. I was able to pass my state and national on the first try!
Hey Joe! Just wanted to thank you for all the RUclips videos you post. I just passed my exam in CA and your videos helped more than the “cram” service I used. Unfortunately I came across your service a little too late in my process but I’m super glad I found your YT page. Thanks a ton! What you’re doing is really making a difference.
Mr Prep Agent, just want to thank you immensenly, thanks to your videos, I passed my AZ exam, first try, this last Friday. I'm very greatful for the posts your sharing. I will look into your business developing program to build a very succesfull business. God bless you in 100 folds, always.
I passed state first go round, the national took me for a loop! Took it 5 times, found prep agent 6th time I passed! I took the vocabulary words with me everywhere!
Does this exam depend on the type of online real estate courses one should take? If not, which online real estate school should I join to start my RE career?
Another great video, thank you! I've asked before, but... is there anyway you could make a video for the most common questions for the Colorado exam? I guess that it is the hardest in the country and I am petrified of failing miserably! 🙃
Joe, I passed my Michigan Real Estate Exam on the first try. I want to say thank you sooo much. You took a LOT of information and broke it down in a way that was easy for me to understand and comprehend when at one point it felt impossible! I am so grateful for Prep Agent.
@@monicamata2152 prep agent only covers the national portion of the exam. The state exam portion is not covered by them but depending on the 40 hour course you took they should have practice tests for the state portion which is what I used for mine and also the Lara pamphlet breaks down exactly what the number of questions per category are
Any recommendations for FL Broker exam ? I am getting ready to take the estate exam and I really don’t feel confident! Can you please give me some advice? Thank you 🙏🏼
I failed my test twice:(. I need help! I studied, listen to podcast, and used flash cards to help keep the knowledge. I haven’t ace it yet. What would you recommend? I do have my real estate book, and looked over concepts that I have missed on the exam.
I literally took the PSI practice test and it has debit and credits backwards. someone please tell me whats up with his The buyer is assuming a mortgage presently on the property in the amount of $110,000. What is the adjustment made at closing? Question Result: Incorrect Your answer: Credit seller $110,000; debit buyer $110,000. Correct answer: Credit buyer $110,000; debit seller $110,000.
Joe, if on that almost last question about selling price being debt to buyer, if it said what does the mortgage show on the statement would that be credit to buyer because the bank is giving you the money the day of closing?
Joe, you are the MAN! I was second guessing myself because of some ignorant comments here but today I passed my exam because of you sir! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this happen. You covered every single thing that was on the exam! And those who write anything negative about your program mean they didn’t study enough and just want to blame someone. Everyone wondering if this program will prepare you, I guarantee you, it will! Good luck to everyone
@@Body.By.Bennett Thank you! It took them 2 months to respond and have me schedule my exam. But once they reply and you sign in, your able to schedule it real soon, they have a lot of test dates available starting from the date you had entered on your application. Best of luck to you!
I’ve passed my state and now taking my national AGAIN on Monday. I was wondering if anyone could answer this for me tho. If an agent wants to buy the land her/his client hired her/him to list, can the agent do that or is there rules for that to take place?

People keep talking about Marcus all over RUclips, he must be a very awesome help.
Yes you’re correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can’t study then get yourself a good help .
I studied for months and couldn’t pass, I guess passing is a blessing
Everyone has their own way, Marcus worked for me and studying didn’t .

Are the questions like this video in the national exam? Bc this questions seem way harder
Do you have any thing To help with the proctor testing
Question - if I only pass the state or National portion of my exam, when I go back to test again do I have to take both or just what I failed?
good questions
Are your lesson applicable to California specifically?
