Questions & Answers to Help You Pass the Real Estate Appraisal Exam

After consultation with many teachers, the state appraisal board, and also other appraisers this was hands down the most recommended text for reviewing the certified general exam. I did feel the text was valuable in preparing for the certified general exam. I was told that the state exam was also prepared by the same author(s). There does need to be some updating particulary in the USPAP section because USPAP has changed significantly. When I took my state exam, there was a question about the departure rule, which had been retired at the time of the exam, so I suppose both the text and the exam need updating. There were also some flat out wrong answers in the review text. I had logged them at one point with the intention of bringing it to the publisher's attention but decided it was a waste of my time. At the time of my exam study (mid 2007) there were limited online and inclass review sources (that I could find) for the certified general exam so in my opinion that makes this text more valuable.

Excellent review for taking the Real Estate Appraisal Exam, it covers all topics at the proper degree of difficulty.

I was nervous before this test and I went through and answered every question in the book. The actual test seemed to ask significantly different questions. The result, however, was I passed with over 90 percent. Can you argue with that? It must have helped.

I just took the certified residential appraisers exam and passed on the first attempt. I do have several years experience, but feel that this study manual gave me the added depth and confidence to pass the exam. (95% correct) Thank You, LWK - Brenham, Texas
