How to Pass a Real Estate Exam

The key to passing a real estate license exam is to also study the state laws for real estate agents in your state.

The state wants to confirm that you know who appoints the real estate commissioner and for how many years. The state wants to assure that you know the fees involved with being a real estate agent and the penalties for breaking real estate law. These may seem like things an agent really does not need to know, but you would be wrong to ignore these items in your study for the test.

Another important part of the real estate test is to know the slang, or terminology of agents. For example "steering," which is illegal and means an agent steers a customer toward or away from a certain neighborhood.

You should also know what is expected when you receive earnest money from someone: what to do with the money and how long you have to do it without breaking the law. You should know the state-set monetary penalties for all instances of breaking real estate law.

Most people taking the test will already be familiar with the general process of a real estate transaction. Where some people fail the test is by not knowing the law, and for a state issuing you the license, the law is very important.

The key to passing the real estate exam is knowing the legal responsibilities of a real estate agent in your state, who enforces the law, who appoints that individual and for how many years.

How to Make Vanilla Bourbon Chicken

Photo: Herbscapes.com Yesterday a neighbor gave me a small jar of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla she has been curing for about six months. The vanilla beans stood in a brown liquid of vanilla and bourbon. For some reason I immediately thought of chicken. I will definitely infuse this liquid gold into some dessert creations, but I happened to have three chicken filets in the fridge ready to make their culinary debut. I rinsed the filets under cold water and placed in a plastic bag. It occurred to me that if I poured too much of the vanilla bourbon into the bag, it would be absorbed by the filets and overtake the flavor, knocking out the fresh German thyme I planned to top on the cooked meal. In plain English: it would be too strong. I carefully dripped about an eighth of a teaspoon into...

How to Water Your Herb Garden

Photo: Herbscapes.com We have found through years of practice and growing herbs that too much water can kill an herb. Many herbs are native to a Mediterranean climate, a climate that is fairly dry, with periodic rain. Even if you live in a hot, humid climate, too much water for some herbs will spell their demise. Examples of herbs that do not need a lot of water: oregano, thyme, lavender, rosemary. Mint herbs may wilt with out enough water so they stand out as a exception but still do not require much water unless you see them starting to wilt. So, with herbs sometimes it's better to resist the temptation of over-care and just allow the herb to grow without much attention. Of course there are exceptions to this and the best practice is to monitor the herbs and if any look sick then take the appropriate action.

How to Stop Fighting When You Have Young Kids Involved

One of the saddest things you can see is a married, separated or divorced couple escalating their fight against one another when there are children involved. It's so very sad for the children, words can hardly describe. What is even sadder is the couple may be actually fighting over the kids, like the kids are some kind of commodity. They each say they love the kids but what is really happening is they are being selfish and treating their kids like a product. If they really loved their kids they would allow the kids to chose who to stay with, as long as it's in a safe, good environment. Once the kids get old enough to really make decisions on their own, they will look back and make their own conclusions about which parent was right. If parents are fighting over children and a home the children are living is unsafe or unlawful, the struggling parent should allow the governing laws to address the situation. This requires patience and lots of work. If the homes of...
