Course Information

• Login - The student can access their Course Page by going to the "STUDENT LOGIN" link which is located on the top corner of all web pages of Cooke Real Estate School.
• Sessions/ Chapters - The course is broken down into Sessions/Chapters. Each session corresponds to the chapters in the companion textbook provided with the course. To complete a session and move on to the next, you must finish the required assignments for that session. These assignments consist of watching the video presentation, going through the flashcard exercise of real estate Key Terms, completing the vocabulary matching exercise, and passing the session's quizzes.
  1. Video Presentation - This is a recorded video presentation by professional instructors going over each session with synchronized PowerPoints within the presentation to help provide examples. This is an excellent format for visual and auditory learners. Upon completion of the video presentation, a green check mark will be shown.  To make sure time is recorded, click on the link at the top of the video SAVE AND RETURN. It is recommended to use Mozilla Firefox as your browser.
  2. Vocabulary Matching - Each session has a Flashcard exercise, going over the real estate Key Terms of each session/chapter in the course.  Next is a vocabulary matching exercise where the student needs to score 100% (all words and definitions to be matched correctly) to complete the exercise.  Upon completion of the matching exercise successfully a green check mark will be shown.  For reference, there is a Glossary at the back of the companion textbook of the course.
  3. Session Quizzes - As the student works through the course, there is an assessment quiz after every video presentation. The quiz must be answered with 80% accuracy before that session can be marked complete. Upon completion of the quiz successfully, a green check market will be shown.
• Practice Exam - The last step before the end-of-course exam is the Practice Exam.  This exam is NOT timed and has 100 questions.  Students need to score 70% or more to move to the TIMED end-of-course exam.
• Final Exam - Please review the EXAM tab on the Course Information Page or Orientation Page for additional information.

Seat time

• Seat-time Requirement: The course has a seat-time tracking system to let you know much time the student has spent on the course.  Florida post license for sales associate requirement is 45 hours, but Florida does NOT require seat time for distance learning courses.   So this tracking system is ONLY for the student's benefit.
• Non-movement of the mouse for more than 20 minutes will disengage the student from the course page.

Exams

• Practice Exam - The course has a practice exam if the state requires a final end-of-course exam. The student needs to score a 70% on the practice exam to move forward and complete the course.
• Timed End-of-Course Exam - The final exam is a three (3) hour exam. The exam is 100 multiple-choice questions with four choices. The student must score a 75% or more on the end-of-course exam and the exam must be completed in one session.
• Upon completing the end-of-course exam, the grade will be shown. If the student successfully passes the course exam with a score of 75% or better, access to the "Completion Certificate" is unlocked. Students need to save this completion certificate in case they are audited by the Division of Real Estate.  Students need to make sure they pay the license renewal fee.
• At the same time, the email is generated with a link to the certificate of Completion, and the completion is reported on the DBPR website for schools.  Once the school reports the completion on the DBPR database, the completion will show up about 24 to 48 hours after the report is completed.
• If the student fails the online end-of-course exam, the student can take the second exam right away.
• If a student fails the end-of-course exam the second time, the student will need to retake the course and pay again to receive a completion certificate.
