The Test Prep classes for the NMLS were a Success!

We have heard from some of our class attendees, with the help of this class, they have passed their exams! See one response below:

Just a quick note to thank FAMP for their excellent work on the prep classes and continuing education classes they have put together.  I took the 8 hour pre class at the FAMP convention on Saturday and am convinced that put me over the edge. I passed my test this morning!  I know the instructors worked very hard with FAMP to put together the information to teach us  what we would need to know and they were right on!  The cost of the classes were quite a bit less than the other schools and businesses that sent me info and I believe I got better training.  Thank you for getting me thru this and I know that when it comes time for the state test, FAMP will have the courses to get me up to speed on Florida!  Thank you again!

 Subject: I PASSED THE NAT. MORTGAGE LICENSING TEST
Thanks to you Ruth and your courses I passed the test this past Saturday.  I must say it was as difficult as I thought it would be.  But I think taking the courses made the big difference.  I took your advice and went thru the test completely the first time and put 31 questions in review.   But then I had almost 55 minutes remaining so I reviewed the entire test and changed several answers.   Please tell all those who think they can pass the test without taking the courses and reviewing the workbooks to .......THINK AGAIN PLEASE !  Take the courses, pay the money, review the workbooks, and pass the test.  How much simpler a formula for success can someone come up with ?
Thanks Again !
