Two down and one more class to go

I just finished my second real estate exam. The slacker approach to this class seems to be paying off just as well as my over zealous approach to the previous class.

I waited until the very last minute to read the chapters in the course and do the practice exams. In fact, I did not read the last three chapters before I did the practice tests! And I got a 79% on this test; just three points lower than the one I really studied for!

The irony is that I think I understand the material better this time better than the last exam. I just need to retain the information until I take the CA licensing exam.

Technically, I can get out of taking of the third real estate course as I took several Finance courses for my MBA. But the hassle of getting transcripts from classes so long ago makes me lazy. Plus the fact that I am probably very rusty on "Net Present Value" "Future Value" and all the other financial terms means that a refresher course is not a bad idea.

I can start the finance course this afternoon. I hope I still know how to use my HP 12C calculator as I have no idea where the instruction manual is!
