Study Tips for Alabama Success
1. Master Alabama License Law: The Alabama Real Estate License Law (Title 34, Chapter 27) is the foundation of many exam questions. Download and study it directly from the Alabama Real Estate Commission website.
2. Practice Regularly: Consistent daily practice is more effective than cramming. Aim for at least 10-15 questions per day leading up to your exam.
3. Focus on Numbers: Alabama law contains many specific numbers (3 years, 7 members, 9 total, 10 days, 19 years old, 90 days, etc.). Make flashcards for these.
4. Understand, Don't Memorize: The exam tests comprehension, not just recall. Make sure you understand why answers are correct, not just which ones are right.
5. Know Violations: Many questions test your knowledge of what's prohibited. Study rebates, kickbacks, and other violations carefully.
