http://www.gowithaccredited.com/scnewsale.htm
Note: All applicants applying for the state exam must complete Real Estate Principles, Real Estate Practice and one elective before you can apply for the Department Real Estate Exam.

Once you pass the State Exam you will receive a letter in the mail stating that you have passed the exam. To complete the licensing process you must show a copy of your birth certificate or Passport, Live Scan Fingerprinting and the current application form the Department of Real Estate sent to you filled out and mailed with a check or money order to the D.R.E of the current licensing fee's.

Your license may be a conditional license if you have not submitted proof of completing the two 18 month course requirements at the time you applied for the license (If you received a License prior to the October 1, 2007 law change.) The condition will be removed once you have submitted evidence of completion to the Department of Real Estate within 18 months of your original licensing. (DO YOU STILL NEED 18 Month Course Requirements (If you still have a Conditional License! ))

HELPFUL EXAM HINTS:

The California Department of Real Estate (DRE) will usually schedule your State Exam date approximately 4 to 6 weeks from the date you apply. You must apply by MAILING you EXAM Application which is the most efficient way of applying for the State Exam. When you apply for your exam on your application is a place to put an earliest date to take your STATE EXAM or you may leave it blank and they will give you a code to access the E-licensing system to schedule your exam (Check out the D.R.E website to find out more about applying online after you send in your Forms by mail.) . NOTE: The key to passing your state exam is understanding what the questions are saying. During your wait time WE recommend you should study our Internet Streaming Exam Preparation Class or Live Class along with Our exam software ( Mr Study Module CD) of Practice exams which are in the area of the State Exam. Your scores should consistently be in the 85%-95% range on all sample questions.

The Dept of Real Estate's Salesperson or Broker Exams (State Exams) are not an easy exams. You must be willing to devote sufficient time and effort to successfully pass the exam. There are two knowledge bases you must master to be successful:

(1) Thorough knowledge of the information being tested on the California Department of Real Estate's Salesperson or Brokers Exam. This is the information that the DRE considers important enough to place on the State Exam and, therefore, you must know this information prior to taking either the Salesperson or Brokers exam. In other words, you must actually learn and understand the material do not memorize.:

(2) You must understand the nature of the State Exam questions themselves. You must know the material AND be very careful reading the exam questions. The California Department of Real Estate does not consider the State Exam questions tricky; however, they are worded in such a way that you must really know the material or you will probably select the wrong answer to the question. For this reason, it is imperative that you spend the proper time and effort with the correct materials to pass the State Exam. Memorization alone will not be enough to pass the State Exam. You must learn the material that will be tested and complete enough sample questions to understand the nature of the exam questions. When you have attained these two levels of knowledge, you are then ready to pass the State Exam. Exam Prep Click Here http://www.gowithaccredited.com/EPsales.htm
