  • Whether the day of closing is assigned to the buyer or seller

Since math questions can affect your result, focused practice is essential after reviewing the main topics. To prepare:

  • Review formulas for commission, loan-to-value ratio, and property tax calculations.
  • Solve sample problems with our practice tests.
  • Use flashcards or guided quizzes to reinforce conversions and amortization steps. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How many times can you retake the exam in Nevada before passing?
