Hi Just wanted to give my views and experience for sims 1.

First the most great thing is meeting all the other students.  You will be put many times during the week in groups of 3.  The task dont take long so you get time to have some chit chat about our comman goals and how people are choosing brokerages.   I found this one of the best parts of the experiance.   Meeting people is always great and talking to others in same study boat.

I personally feel this sims1 could have been done in 4 days rather then 5.   Most of us in our groups felt alot of time wasted.  Like given 10 minutes per 3 group session when only 5 might have been needed.  I also wished rather then student have to spend time figuring out answers to situations wish the teachers just told us the situation answers and made us understand it all then we can try in groups. 

Another thing also I noticed sometimes in our big group with the teachers we had few student get us all sidetracked talking and asking teachers questions unrelated to sims1 topics and not related to exam.  For example we had a commercial manager as one of the students who everyday would ask many questions which unrelated and more for commercial which come later on in course 4 and sims 2.  This wasted much time which we could have focused on exam questions.  They would take around 30min a day wasted. 

Each day is full day and on exam day is shorter and you have an exam.  Exam day can be tiring.    Questions in the exam are very long and worded so sometimes you need to read a few time to make sure you understand.     I was totally drained by end of my exam.   I highly recommend try to be fresh in some way before starting exam.   I was already tired so the exam just took all my efforts.   Its not a hard exam but due to the long questions need to be mentally focused. Attention to details.

Dont wish to be negitive all in all was good week of learning.

Just keep a open mind and I am sure everyones exoeriances will be diferent.    Any questions I can answer more about sims 1 let me know.  Good luck to all.

Hi guys I am still few months away from completing course as just doing sims 1 in 2 weeks time.   One of my biggest concerns is how to choose a agency that best fits me.  I am looking to go full time but due to having 2 kids and wife working.  I need flexible hours so can drop and pick up kids.   My wife works wednesday-sat.  So those days can only work around kids sced and evenings aftee wife home.  So can work like 10am-2pm and then 6.30pm- midnight lol.  Sunday to Tuesdays can work 12 hours days.   So its full time but need flexibility.

Hahah how do I find a brokerage that is great and help with that situation.  I am nervous that this will put employees off.  I plan to be dedicated and work hard.   

I am on google researching.  Also do i try to choose only agencies whos office close to where I live.    I have alot of questions related to this step.  Lookforward to anyones help in this thanks guys.

Hi guys just thought would create a genral review and hopefully maybe helps you guys.  

When I started course which now I know was easiest one so far.   I was like this is gonna be so easy hahaha then hit a road block of course 2.  

So course 1 you can get done in maybe in a couple weeks.   I made mistake in my study methods which will explain later.  

Course 2 is a monster of a course.  So much material to read.   I read all one time in a weeb but was not improving pratise test.  Also then took a month off which put me back at sqaire one as forgot alot of stuff.   This time when I started I read the passit study buddy which was awesome and thing started to click.   I also broke course down and read study buddy 1 module then practice 20 questions until i was getting over 90 percent regulary then I would move on.   In between every 5 module would group them and to a practice test of 5 modules until I getting regular 90 percent above.  Eventually working on 115 exam questions practice one test a day until getting 95 percent regulary then thats it.

Course 3 no study buddy but using my method I found course 3 easiest so far.   I did module practise the  115 practice.   Started course 3 weeks ago and just passed my exam 2 days ago.  95 percent yeah.  

If I can so can you as I hate to study lol but eventually you get used to it.   I also dont have much time as have 2 kids to look after as well while wife works.  I was working for last 15 years and my wife at home but now due covid thing all changed and now I am the one going back to studying haha.

Wish everyone best luck I can answer any questions you need regarding course 1, 2 and 3.  Let me know thanks
