Frequently Asked Questions

Are the LearnAppraising.com study materials updated for the new appraiser exam changes?

Yes! LearnAppraising.com has been updated to conform with the new AQB exam standards that were put in place starting in 2008. LearnAppraising.com has responded to all these changes and is compliant for 2010. In addition to this, LearnAppraising.com has also been updated to comply with the 2010 USPAP standards (which covers both 2010 and 2011). This fact is vital because in upwards of 20-30 questions on your State exam will be USPAP specific.

I live in a particular State. Will the LearnAppraising.com exam prep software help me pass my State Licensing or State Certification exam for my State?

No matter what State you live in, Learn Appraising Software will prepare you to pass your exam.  For Appraisal Licensing or Certification, all States must abide by certain testing criteria based on a National standard.  The Appraisal Qualifications Board (AQB) of the Appraisal Foundation (A Nationwide Organization with authority granted by Congress) establishes this criterion.  The AQB has set up 14 topics and many sub-topics that the appraiser must be tested on (topics differ between certification and licensing).  The Learn Appraising software was designed to help prepare you on these very same topics.

I am preparing to sit for my State Licensing Exam, do you have an appraisal exam prep program for this specific license level?

LearnAppraising.com has specific and individual exam prep programs for each of the different State exams.  For example, if you are preparing to pass your State Licensing exam, we will not waste your time by forcing you to learn concepts that only appear on the State Certified Residential or General exams.  We actually have an exam prep program specifically for the State Licensing exam, and another for the State Certified Residential exam and yet another for the State Certified General exam.  This feature is a first in appraisal exam preparation and exclusive only to LearnAppraising.com.  No other book or program offers specific exam prep programs for each of the different license levels.  This enables our users to focus their efforts on the topics that may actually appear on their appraiser exam.
