Great Experience!!
I have "Passed" the California Real estate License exam. A huge "THANK YOU" to the wonderful instructors Tabitha, Bobra & Howard!! Their new daily sessions focus on repeating the topics to make you ready. Kaplan's material is quite on point to pass your exam. Especially the Qbank, Exam prep on demand courses. Although some topics which were not covered in the Kaplan material appeared on the exam. But knowing the terminology is a big plus. I highly recommend Kaplan!!
