Just less than 12 months in and on track for a second significant income. Would love to talk off line if you are interested!

Go to A.D. Banker for the practice tests. The cost is about $170 but the practice tests and state laws are there. It will prepare you for the test and you have practice tests for each chapter. It will score you so you know where you need to study more. I think the practice tests are available for about 60 days. Plenty of time to study, if you need it.

We offer 7 days a week live classes to help take the test fast, the course we use is Xcel. If you need live classes that are free, please DM to talk more about this process.
