The topics students actually miss.

Four sections account for most of the wrong answers on the Tennessee licensing exam. Each explainer below covers what the section really tests, the traps that cost points, and the questions people ask us in class.

Real estate math & proration

Commission splits, proration, loan-to-value, area, and transfer tax. Not hard math — just a small number of formulas applied under time pressure.

Read it →

Contracts

Offer, acceptance, consideration, contingencies, and the difference between void, voidable, and unenforceable. Heavy on scenarios.

Read it →

Financing

Loan types, the instruments that secure them, and the federal disclosure rules. Vocabulary-dense and easy to confuse under time pressure.

Read it →

Fair housing

Protected classes, the practices that violate the law even without intent, and the advertising language that gets licensees disciplined.

Estates, co-ownership forms, easements, encroachments, and the government powers that limit what an owner can do.

Read it →

Valuation & appraisal

The three approaches to value, how adjustments actually work in a CMA, and the difference between price, cost, and value.

Tennessee license law

The Commission's authority, advertising rules, trust account handling, and the violations that produce discipline. This is the section that fails people.

Disclosure & property condition

The residential property condition disclosure, adverse facts, stigmatized property, and the federal lead-based paint rule.

Read it →

Leases & property management

Leasehold estates, landlord and tenant obligations, security deposits, and where property management crosses into license territory.
