McKissock Learning, the national provider of online education for real estate appraisers, today announced the launch of two new real estate appraiser exam prep programs. Exam Prep for Licensed Residential Appraisers and Exam Prep for Certified Residential Appraisers are exam simulation programs that prepare residential appraiser candidates to pass the National Uniform Licensing and Certification Examination on the first attempt.
According to The Appraisal Foundation exam statistics, one in three people fail the Licensed Residential exam the first time and one in four people fail the Certified Residential exam the first time. To become an appraiser, professionals are required to pass the National Uniform Licensing and Certification Examination to get a state licensed or certified appraisal license.
“The appraisal exam is difficult and tests a candidate’s understanding of the subject and the ability to problem solve situational and real-life appraisal scenarios,” said Ashleigh Wallach, general manager of appraisal education at McKissock Learning and a Certified General Appraiser in Missouri. “Just knowing what’s on the exam is not enough – instead it’s more important to focus your studies on exactly what you need to know.”
To be eligible for the exam, professionals must have completed their required licensing education hours. The national exam minimum passing score for appraisal is 75%.
Exam Prep for Licensed Residential Appraisers and Exam Prep for Certified Residential Appraisers utilize a variety of test practice methods including vocabulary flashcards, progress exams, and practice exams through a high-quality exam simulation program. Exams can be customized by topic on the material a candidate needs the most help on and provides immediate feedback, or the candidate can take a practice exam that mimics the actual exam and is scored at the end. All exam questions were written and reviewed by experienced appraisal instructors.
The new real estate appraiser exam prep programs include: comprehensive review of concepts and terms with over 700 flashcard questions and over 400 vocabulary terms; eight topic-based progress exams and over 2,000 exam questions; customizable learning; five final practice exams weighted to mirror the national exam; an interactive performance dashboard and unlimited exam options with 180-day unlimited access.
