1)LOGIN TO: XCELSOLUTIONS.COM THEN COMPLETE THE FIRST SECTION (WHICH IS 10 HOURS) After the first 10 hours are completed, you will get access to a crash course and 3 practice tests.
As soon as you have access to the practice tests, you should start doing those immediately.
You should just be doing the three practice tests over and over until you score between 85-90%. If you get 90s, you are now ready to schedule and take your exam (see instructions below). All the time spent counts towards the 52 hours.
Remember the course 52 hours do not have to be completed before you take your state exam. They must be completed before you submit your application for your license with the state.
2)TAKE & PASS STATE EXAM. (TO SCHEDULE EXAM FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW) After you pass, you can go back to Xcelsolutions.com to finish the remaining required 52 hours. You won’t be able to get your actual license unless the hours are completed.
3)LOG THE REMAINING HOURS. The fastest way to do this is to go back to Xcelsolutions.com, log back on, and just let the hours run. The online course will automatically time out every 19.5 minutes and it will lose the previous time completed (you should make it a habit to save every now and then incase this happens)
Set your timer on your cell phones for 19 minutes so you can make calls, do other things, and then go back every 19 minutes before it times out (it will ask if you are still there). You just have to do this so you won’t get logged out and have to log back in. (Sorry it’s annoying, but it’s a state requirement.) Additional Study Material Below
