Real Smart Testimonial | “Your Course Was Excellent”
Dear Sandy:
I was so nervous when I attended my first class as math has never been a favorite subject of mine, but Wendy came across as caring and knowledgeable with the ability to interact, interest and engage the whole class. Soon, my nervousness evaporated.

How do you know if you are really ready to take the UBC Exam?
Are you ready for the UBC Exam? The only way to find out is to test yourself. Not by just going through the ESG and working on some questions. That is what most people do who fail the exam. Why? Because they are often told that all you need to do is answer the questions in the ESG. If that was the case, then Real Smart wouldn’t have been in business for 10 years.
Sit down, turn off your phone, and don’t leave until you have completed several 100 multiple choice question mock exams in 3 hours or less! See the difference?
We have made it simple for you. We have put together 3 “timed” mock exams. Each exam has 100 multiple choice questions about math and law. We provide you with 3 hours in which to complete the exam (time is scrolling once you press start). You have access to back through your exam and see where your trouble spots are.
This is how to see if you should go to the UBC exam or not! Don’t be fooled into thinking you are ready when you are not. Don’t be fooled into thinking you will just “try” the exam anyways, and then take a course if you fail. Do you realize how awful you are going to feel if you fail? You must wait 3 long months. That means you must gear yourself back up again to continue studying and keep it going everyday for 3 long months when you could have just tested yourself to see if you were ready! If you are, go! If not, seek some extra tutoring in the areas requiring improvement.

Real Estate Training | Benefits of One-on-One Tutoring before Taking the UBC Exam
If you’re looking for a respectable career in the Western Canada real estate market, you’ll need to take the UBC real estate exam. Administered by the University of British Columbia, prospective real estate professionals are only allowed to take the UBC exam once every 90 days—all the more reason to get it right the first time. Here are a few of the benefits that come with hiring a private tutor before you tackle the UBC exam.
- You decide the lesson.
When you hire a private tutor from the Real Smart Training Centre in Surrey, you’re essentially renting an instructor. As such, you can decide which subjects to cover. Though a Real Smart real estate course is great for laying the groundwork, a private tutor can help you fine tune your understanding of important concepts in time for the exam.
- You make your own schedule.
Time is a precious commodity. Luckily, you get to dictate when you want a one-on-one tutoring session. Whether you’re looking for a one-time two-hour session or several sessions every week, Real Smart can accommodate your needs.
- All of your questions will be answered.
During class, it’s often difficult to ask all of the questions that are on your mind, and visiting office hours may be impossible? When you hire a private tutor, however, you can ask all of the questions you want. In fact, in order to pass the UBC exam, you shouldn’t stop asking questions until you have a solid understanding of every concept.
If you’re interested in hiring a private tutor to help you prepare for the UBC exam, contact Real Smart today. In addition to locations in Vancouver and Surrey, we provide online courses for future real estate professionals all over Canada. To learn how to get started, call us at (604) 313-4878.

How to Prepare for the UBC Exam
The UBC exam is the final step before entering the working world of real estate. Since the exam has only an approximate 30% passing rate for those doing the course on their own, approaching your exam date may be a nerve-wracking experience. It can often take eight months and many give up or try and fail out because of frustration. However, there are some ways that you can relieve your anxiety and prepare for success. Below are some tips for performing at your best when your exam day comes.
- Enroll in a training course: At Real Smart, we have designed courses based off of 20 years of experience educating individuals in real estate, mortgage management, and property management. These courses can help you in a matter of weeks by reviewing the essential information required for your area of interest. You can select a classroom setting, online course, or combination of the two, so programs are customizable to your schedule and personal preferences.
- Practice effective study habits: Though it may be easy to forget about your personal needs while studying for a big exam, taking time for yourself along the way is important for your success. Eat a balanced diet, get plenty of sleep, and stay hydrated while you are preparing. This will help keep your stress low and your mind sharp.
- Utilize available resources: Take the time to seek extra help from course instructors or read supplemental materials for areas that are causing confusion. The key to exam success is organized preparation and recognition of your own weaknesses. To fully prepare, you will need dedication and commitment, but this hard work will pay off when you take the exam.
If you are pursuing a career in real estate, then consult the experts at Real Smart to help you achieve your goal. Our staff of instructors is dedicated to the success of each of our students. Get more information about our course offerings on our website or call (604) 313-4878.

Real Smart Testimonial | “Without Having Sandy’s Help I Never Would Have Passed the Exam”
Having Sandy’s tutoring made the difference for me. Being a stay at home mom for 11 years was tough. Without having Sandy’s help I never would have passed the exam or even had a clue about the math. In the end, I wished the exam questions were all math because I knew them the best. She really explained the math so it was easy… More testimonials here.

3 Benefits of Attending Real Estate Training School
It can be difficult to become a real estate agent, especially if you don’t obtain your credentials through an accredited school or training facility. Plus, it is difficult to discern whether the study materials you received apply to your state and contain all the knowledge you need. For more on how attending a real estate school can benefit you, keep reading.
1. Five-Week Fast Track Program
The main benefit to attending a real estate training school that offers the five-week fast track program is that you can reinvent your career and upgrade your life in less than two months. If your current lifestyle isn’t cutting it, then the change you need could be just around the corner. This program is designed to be comprehensive, fun, and integrative, so that it can appeal to all types of learners. If you’re ready to push yourself, then look for a real estate school that offers this program.
2. Individual Educational Support
Real estate training school can also benefit you if you’re more of a slow-paced learner. Many of these schools offer classroom setting learning environments where you can receive one-on-one support. While you could find study materials from a bookstore or online, you wouldn’t be able to ask questions and receive feedback from a licensed and trained instructor. You also wouldn’t be able to collaborate and learn from other students. If you want a quality educational experience, then consider enrolling at a real estate training school.
3. Organized and Proven Curriculum
When you take an online real estate course, you’re not always guaranteed that the material has been proven to help you pass the UBC exam. It is much easier to check the credentials of a training facility. Furthermore, many students have a hard time pacing themselves during an online course. A real estate school will help keep you organized and on track and will provide a proven curriculum.
At Real Smart, we offer the original five-week fast track program, individual classroom education, and a fun learning environment. You can find information on how to enroll on our website or by calling us at (604) 313-4878.
