How to read these numbers
A pass rate shows how a school's students did on the state exam. It does not say how a course would work for you, and it also reflects which students each school attracts. Compare a school with the statewide rate and with other schools in the same state, not with a school in another state: regulators count takers in different ways. Details are in the methodology.
Online real estate course prices
The price column shows regular list prices from each school's own state page, from the cheapest package to the most complete one; sale prices and coupon codes are left out. Packages differ in how much exam prep they include, so compare their contents on the school's site.
School profiles
Each profile collects one school's results from every state covered here, with its list prices and the names the regulators use for it.
