15. What is the best way to study for the salesperson and broker test?

The best way to study for the salesperson or broker test is to be tutored by J.Marshall! A better question is what is the best way to prepare for J Marshall's tutoring? This is an important question. The best way to study for the salesperson or broker tutoring is to read lots and lots of question and explanations ( a modicum of 600 questions for the salesperson exam and a modicum of 900 questions for the brokers exam and do not mark the answer beforehand). Read the question and then read the four ostensible answers (do not pre-marked the correct answer before hand,) and then immediately check to see if you are correct or incorrect. If you are correct you should expediently move on to the next question. If you are not correct  you should immediately be checking to see why you were incorrect, reading the explanation. Paradoxically, sometimes you will understand the explanation and sometimes you will not. In either case, do not spend precious time looking up words, move on to the next question. Do not study math. Do not study vocabulary words. Spend no more than 30 seconds on short questions and no more that 60 seconds on long questions. Marshall law says "It is better to cover a few questions poorly as opposed to mastering only a few". We recommend a minimum of 600 questions for the salesperson’s exam. We recommend a minimum of 900 questions for the broker's exam. If you need a source for questions we have a 900 question book for the salesperson exam that I would highly recommend. I have a question book and a CD for your broker exam that I would highly recommend. By the way, we said 600 question minimum for the salesperson exam and 900 questions minimum for the broker exam. We did not say maximum. This is easier said than done. You may not believe this, the material is extremely boring and time-consuming. Should you say the broker CD in question book once you have passed the exam or should you burn them in a ritualistic fire? I recommend you save them! Why? Have you ever had trouble sleeping. Start reading these questions and explanations and I guarantee you will fall asleep.
