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!

I was studying Monday night for a psychology test with my friend and she had last year's test to practice from. Tuesday when I took the actual test, I saw that it was the exact same as the practice test I was doing the night before(pretty much aced it)!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how my friend got the practice test, but I am thinking it was her psych teacher who is notorious for not exactly knowing how to teach...She didn't know what the first "S" in SSRI stood for and she is supposed to be teaching the material!
Funny how my luck turns around after half of the schools I applied to reject me.
