Can I pass?
So here's the deal. I write my Phase II Real Estate Exam on August 25th @ 9am. I have 60 classroom hours to make up, plus an additional 10-15 of proper studying time. Take the following pluses, or minuses into account and guess my mark.
It's ALL short answer, no multiple choice. (Minus)
You need 75% to pass, no 50% BS... (BIG MINUS)
It's open book. (Plus)
They're 1,000 page books and you MUST know exactly where to look (Minus)
There are 6 Units with 3 subdivisions in each, so call it 18 major lessons. (Minus)
I have studied and am confident with 2.5 of them as of this moment. (Minus)
It's Monday night, technically 12 days before I write my exam. (Minus)
I get the keys to my very first house on August 23rd. (Minus)
I have a lot of meetings, bank visits and minor shit to do to get that house closed. (Minus)
There is a slim chance during those meetings I will learn something important that will be on the exam (Plus)
I (we) have to pack the entire townhouse before then. (Minus)
If my job workload this week was a campfire sign it would be a faint yellow with a green tinge colour. (Plus)
I am pissing away Saturday and Sunday this weekend with Football / drinking related shinanighans. (Plus)... oops Minus
I'm writing this post rather than actually studying. (Minus)
My true goal is to get to a point where if I get really lucky I can pass the first time, but to gain enough knowledge to make my re-write 2 weeks after I fail, a breeze. (Minus)
Guess away:

I'm going with 68%. Because you're a smart guy and I assume your common sense will get you through a lot of the test... but I'd assume that the test is relatively difficult (as most open books are), and getting a full 75% isn't going THAT easy to do.
Too bad, if it was multiple choice I would say you have it in the bag...
;)
72.8%...if it's a sunny day, 73.8%...ohhhh, so close!
hmmm, lot of minuses on your list there. Still I'll be the first to comment that you'll pass. 75% bang on.
This is phase 2 of 3, I believe I've heard you say? So that would mean this unti represents 1/3 or 33% of what a real estate agent has to know. And you only need to know 75% of it to pass? SO that's like 75% of 33%, or 24.75%
So the question in fact, is do you think you know 24% of what a real estate agent knows?
I think we all know the question to that...
Good luck Greg!
