How it's taught
Live, it’s a workshop. Self-paced, it’s yours.
The self-paced version turns each of these into a short exercise you do on your own.
Proration pairs
Partners race a proration problem on paper, then explain each step aloud to each other. The goal is a clean method, not speed.
Relationship sort
Cards with duties get sorted into transaction broker, single agent and no brokerage relationship. Any card that lands in the wrong pile gets a one-sentence fix.
Doc stamp drill
Five sale prices, five rounding traps. Everyone works them on the same calculator rules they'll have at the test center, then checks against the answer key together.
