Study for Your Real Estate License Anywhere
Getting your real estate license? The free Open Exam Prep Real Estate Podcast lets you turn drive time, open house downtime, and daily commutes into productive study sessions.
Why Audio Learning is Perfect for Real Estate
You're Already Mobile
Real estate is a mobile profession. Even before you're licensed, you're likely:
- Driving to pre-licensing classes
- Attending open houses to learn
- Meeting with potential brokerages
- Running errands between activities
The podcast turns all this time into study time.
Real Estate Exams Are Concept-Heavy
Unlike math exams, real estate tests focus on:
- Legal concepts and definitions
- Contract provisions and requirements
- Fair housing rules and protected classes
- Agency relationships and duties
These topics are ideal for audio learning—you can absorb and review them without needing to write anything down.

Real Estate Math: The One Area Where Podcast Isn't Enough
Real estate exams include math questions on:
- Commission calculations
- Prorations (taxes, rent, interest)
- Loan qualifying (LTV, DTI)
- Property valuation (GRM, cap rate)
For math, you need to practice on paper. The podcast explains concepts, but you must work through calculations. Use our blog:
Common Questions About Real Estate Licensing
"How hard is the real estate exam?"
Pass rates average 50-60% on the first attempt. It's not extremely difficult, but it covers a lot of material. Most failures result from:
- Not taking it seriously (it's not "just a license")
- Relying only on pre-licensing class materials
- Not practicing with realistic questions
The podcast + practice question combination addresses all three.
"How long should I study?"
Most successful candidates study 40-80 hours over 2-4 weeks after completing their pre-licensing course. Using the podcast during daily activities can add 10-15 hours weekly without dedicated desk time.
"Should I get my salesperson or broker license first?"
In most states, you must work as a salesperson for 1-3 years before qualifying for a broker license. Start with the salesperson exam—that's what this podcast primarily covers.
