I took my federal exam today and passed it. So I've now shifted my focus to my upcoming Rhode Island exam. Studying for this one is proving to be a challenge. I'm gifted in the brains department but on some of the stuff I'm reading I'm not sure on how good my retention is.
Here is a good example. This item is in Chapter 34 of the RI Fair Housing Practices Act. This paragraph is made up of just 3 sentences; I've changed the text style to show the separation. Some of these chapters/section are quite the bumpy ride and by the time I've read through an item, I cannot recall where I started or recall most of the info in between...

Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit any oral or written inquiry as to whether the prospective purchaser or tenant is over the age of eighteen (18).
There you go, 3 sentences...
