Brokers Exam...

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Peters Realty SB065509

Well this morning was the big day. I was up all night because my wife's dog kept barking at all the thunder and lightening from the severe storms that passed through.

I drove to Harrisburg with a knot in my stomach and a much higher than normal level of anxiety because of being tired and a desperate desire to pass. I'm not too good at keeping my mouth shut and I had told friends and family I'd have my Broker's License by June. Then I got busy with clients the past several weeks and I didn't get around to scheduling the test until yesterday.

Their were several other people at the exam center and they were very chatty, where as I like quiet meditation before such matters. I figured I'd either pass or have a stroke.

The exam took me about an hour and ten minutes. I was told you are given your score instantly. Instead there was this survey to fill out.....

Now I'm really going nuts. I rushed through it all as fast as I could and just kept hitting "enter". When it was over, I accidentally somehow skipped the screen that gives your score. And I couldn't get back to it.

About a half hour later it was finally my turn to talk to the lady in charge of the exam center..............

 

PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any kind of personal growth or acheivement is certainly a good thing but I'm damn glad its over....

Thank-you to you all..........Actually the state test wasn't as precise/and/or as difficult asthe CompuCram program that I subscribed to.

Regardless, if we are required to take continuing ed-(in my state, 14 hours every 2 years) it might as well count towrard a broker's license too. If we have to do it anyhow, what the Hell...

Broker or Associate Broker on your business card is more meaningful than all those other acronymns that nobody knows the definition of anyhow...

Thanks for all the "well-wishes", just finding out the real work is starting-up one's own business...

The learning curve never ends.................
