4.0 out of 5 stars Great for review for Sales Associate exam, July 3, 2011

This review is from: Barron's Florida Real Estate Exams (Barron's: the Leader in Test Preparation) (Paperback)

I took the FREC I course at a school and after not passing the exam on my first try only using the book provided, I decided to buy this book. I found it easy to read (didn't lose me like the other one), straight to the point without giving you extra information you don't need, set up with tons of definitions first is great and practice tests were good for prepping. I highly recommend this book for studying for the Sales Associate license. Only downside is not enough test questions on the type of math you see on the exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Successful Study Strategy, May 23, 2011

For what its worth-

I wasn't required to take the pre-licensing course because of a higher education exemption. Therefore, locating the best available study guide was imperative, as I had no previous exposure to Florida agency and license law. I purchased numerous study guides to ensure I had the best information available to pass the exam. Fortunately, I passed the exam on my first attempt.

Of all the study guides I purchased, this was by far the best. The information was explained clearly and in a rational manner. Most importantly, this text focuses on the concepts, which is the major focus of the Florida real estate exam. The test taking strategy listed in the book is completely accurate. I imagine that people who utilize the study strategy outlined in the book and prepare adequately have a much higher pass rate than the average examinee.

The sample exam questions were conceptual in nature and were similar to those on the real estate exam. I was completely prepared for the test and had no difficulty passing the exam. While the sample questions in the book were not exactly the same as those on the test, they were very similar. I was very comfortable with the information on the exam and was very familiar with the questions on the test.

I highly recommend this text to anyone preparing for any of the brokerage exams in Florida. Focusing on concepts is the correct strategy to pass the Florida real estate exams. The conceptual information in this text is easily understandable and will prepare any examinee for success.

Best of luck in your real estate careers,
HammockBound

I bought several books in search of a good source to help me prepare for the state-certified general exam. Some were too basic, others too complicated. This one was great with explanations and suggestions about what to prepare for. I especially appreciated the exams. The answer keys included enabled me to determine my true progress.
