So Proud of YOU, Cecelia! Getting your professional designations is a strong commitment to our industry, but more importantly, to your future! As a NALP, CAM, and CAPS instructor, I hear from my students that the hardest part of the test is the financial. Granted, it's probably been a few years since we learned this in school, and for some reason, math is difficult for a lot of folks. First, just BREATHE! Study and learn the formulas. Put your own property numbers in the formulas for practice, and they will start to make sense. Don't do the online course. Take the class with others. You will learn so much from the instructor, but also from other students in the class. The networking is invaluable! Lastly, don't sweat it if you don't pass the first time. For many of us, it's been a very long time since we have taken tests, and they can be intimidating. In fact, I know many, many people who take the test twice. I've even had students tell me they don't even expect to pass the first time, but they look at it as a chance to practice. If they pass, terrific! But if they don't, they will be better prepared the next time. GOOD LUCK to you, Cecelia! I know you will continue to be an awesome addition to the Multi-Family Industry!
