@Angela11248009 Hi Angela. I am so sorry to hear you didn't pass the state exam. Here are some suggestions to help.

You still have access to your Kaplan classes until July 18, 2025. That gives you plenty of time to review the material and attend LEARN sessions. The PDF of the LEARN sessions is uploaded to your LMS and is a very valuable study guide to help you memorize the information you need to help you pass the exam.

You also still have access to your Drill and Practice QBank (Practice Questions). Please make sure you take every question in your QBank, and read the answer explanation carefully, even if you get the question right. Also, I suggest retaking any questions you may have gotten wrong the first time. If you still don't understand a question or an answer explanation, please reach out to us with all your questions.

Finally, please reach out to the Kaplan Commitment team to see if you qualify for a session with a Commitment team member. I hope this is helpful!

@bobratahan When I practiced real estate my niche was "first time home buyers." I promoted myself by having free seminars including lenders so people new to the market would better understand the process and not be intimidated. I created a booklet with frequently asked questions and allowed the audience to ask any questions they may have. You can do this at almost any location with no fee for the space. I used Title company conference offices or if you have a large office with a conference room, that is great. I know the world of real estate has changed dramatically, but educational seminars can and do bring in buyers.

I choose this niche because I found it to be very satisfying to hand a new buyer keys to their first home. In many cases they may be the first in their family to ever own a home and to see the pride on their face was worth all the time spent with them.
