Good luck. I've heard you can't go wrong with Barney Fletcher. Most everyone who takes it passes. I had a horrible instructor (not with Barney Fletcher). You get two chances at the test. First time I failed by like a 60. Second time I made a 74! A FREAKIN 74! Just one point off! But over 50% of my class failed cuz of the 80yr old instructor. But like I said, with Barney Fletcher you'll be fine. Take the cram course right before you take the state test though! And yeah, the market is a lil tough right now but it'll pick back up soon. (I've been office manager in Real Estate for almost 5 years now)

Good Luck!
