"Thank you CompuCram for preparing a nervous wreck like me to pass the exam the first time!"

- Real Estate Student, Ohio

I had been thinking about becoming a real estate agent for quite a few years. My job in production at a local factory leaves a lot to be desired. It is long hours, doing repetitive work with not much flexibility. That being said, it had been 20 years since I stepped foot in a classroom and I was really nervous about taking the exam. Adding to my nervousness is I have never been a great test taker so needless to say before the exam I felt really stressed.


 I ended up buying CompuCram after attending the real estate classes at the school and feeling like I needed an additional study tool. Since it is mobile, I used it onto my phone and quizzed myself on the study vocabulary whenever I had time. I also found it helpful that CompuCram goes through a wide variety of questions and concepts in the practice test section. I still felt nervous but felt more prepared each time I logged in. Finally feeling comfortable to take the simulated exam piece I was relieved to find I could go at my own pace. The simulated exams even had the same number of questions in each category as the real test, which made me feel better.


When I went in to take the state exam, I was stressed but found myself relaxing as I found the questions in CompuCram are worded very similarly to the actual exam. I am happy to say that I passed my exam on the first try thanks to CompuCram! I am now selling real estate full time and have quit my job at the factory. While it is hard work, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule and am even able to start coaching my son’s soccer team. Thank you CompuCram for preparing a nervous wreck like me to pass the exam the first time!

"CompuCram played an important part in my passing the real estate exam the first time."

- Real Estate Student, Texas

As a real estate student, exam prep tools were not even on my radar when I first enrolled in courses. As a career changer, I knew I wanted to become a real estate agent as quickly as possible and the state required I take classes, so I signed up for the best value online package at a local real estate school. The package happened to include access to CompuCram.
In a nutshell—CompuCram played an important part in my passing the real estate exam the first time. The questions helped prepare me for what "could" be on the test and also helped provided the knowledge needed in the real estate world.  Even on some topics that were hit on briefly during my online course, CompuCram went more in depth and really helped me feel more prepared.


After I took the test, I realized that CompuCram phrased the questions in the simulated exam very similar to how they are on the actual test. I surpassed my own expectations by scoring a  96% on the national portion and an 88% on the state portion. I have a teenage daughter and am so proud that in my 40’s I am finally in a career that I love. Every day is a new adventure and I get to be the one who helps people find a place they will call home. Doesn’t get much better than that!

"I was ready to officially become a Certified Appraiser and so I decided to buy CompuCram to prepare for my exam."

- Appraisal Student, California

A lot of people don’t realize how much education and training is needed to become an Appraiser. New regulations require you to not only have a bachelor’s degree but take several different levels of courses and complete a two year apprenticeship. It’s a big investment and I didn’t want to waste any time in passing the exam.


I was ready to officially become a Certified Appraiser and so I decided to buy CompuCram to prepare for my exam. I don't know what I would have done without it!  The format was easy to use and helped me focus on my deficient areas. The questions were presented in a manner consistent with the state exam. It was also helpful to know the correct answer of the ones I did miss so I could go back to review and understand the answer.


 I am happy to share not only did I pass the state exam, but I passed with flying colors. I am now out on my own as a Certified Appraiser and still occasionally reference CompuCram on my mobile or desktop when I am out in the field.

"After I failed the exam the first time I knew I needed extra help beyond just taking the classes online."

- Mortgage Student, New York

After I failed the exam the first time I knew I needed extra help beyond just taking the classes online. If you take the SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test and fail you have to sit out 30 days. If you fail 3 times you can’t take it again for half a year. I knew I needed to pass the exam the second time as my future job depended on my ability to pass the exam. Talk about pressure!

I did some research online and found a few other products that had vocabulary or practice tests but CompuCram was the only exam prep tool I could find that was an all in one solution of vocabulary, practice tests and simulated exams. I went ahead and purchased it and must say I was pleasantly surprised. I used it several times each day and found my confidence level lifting right along with the Readiness Indicator℠.

I am so glad I didn’t go for a less expensive competitor because the all-in-one solution made all the difference for me. The vocabulary really helped deepen my understanding of the exam concepts. The practice tests let me know which topics I was strong on and where I needed more work. The simulated exam was invaluable because it had the same number of questions in the same categories as the real exam. Plus it was timed, so I got used to the urgency.  The next time I went to take the MLO test I knew I was more prepared. I aced the exam and I credit it to CompuCram. It saved my job and my family’s finances. I will never take another test without prepping with CompuCram first.
