AZ Real Estate study plan

Extract every numeric threshold and deadline from the Arizona real estate statutes and Commissioner's Rules (license term and renewal cycle, education hours, advertising rules, record retention, trust account timelines) into a single reference page

Explain in writing the Commissioner's authority, the complaint-to-hearing process, and which categories of conduct trigger which disciplinary tier (letter of concern, suspension, revocation, civil penalty)

Compare the licensing pathways (salesperson, associate broker, designated broker, entity license, reciprocity) and state the education, experience, and examination requirements for each

Complete 40 practice questions covering only Domains 1 and 2 and log every missed concept with the specific statute or rule that governs it

Diagram the agency relationships available in Arizona (seller representation, buyer representation, dual agency with consent) and annotate when and how each disclosure must be delivered

List the fiduciary duties owed in each agency type and identify which duties survive termination of the relationship

Decompose a standard resale purchase contract into its required elements, contingencies, and every calendar deadline, then convert those into a dated timeline

Apply core contract law concepts (offer, acceptance, counteroffer, statute of frauds, assignment, liquidated damages, specific performance, remedies for breach) to ten short fact patterns

Match each statutory disclosure and cancellation right to the exact contract stage at which it is triggered, and record the clock for each (delivery method, number of days, who holds the right)

Identify which clauses in Arizona purchase and listing contracts exist because a statute or Commissioner's Rule requires them, and quote the underlying requirement in your notes

Recalculate a full offer-to-close timeline for three variations: cash purchase, financed purchase with an appraisal contingency, and a transaction that falls out of escrow

Re-attempt every Domain 1 and Domain 4 item from your error log and rewrite the explanation for each in your own words

Trace money through a brokerage: identify what constitutes trust funds, when commingling or conversion occurs, and the recordkeeping and reconciliation duties that apply

Explain brokerage supervision obligations, including what an unlicensed assistant may and may not do and the rules on advertising and team names

Resolve six agency fact patterns by naming the duty breached, the party harmed, and the disclosure that should have been made

Distinguish disclose-only dual agency from transactional/limited representation scenarios as permitted under Arizona law and state the consent required

Compare conventional, FHA, VA, and seller-financed transactions on down payment, mortgage insurance, appraisal and property-condition requirements, and assumability

Compute loan-to-value, monthly payment components, discount points, and total closing costs for five financing scenarios without a calculator error

Perform proration calculations for property taxes, rents, and security deposits using both the 30-day and actual-day methods, and reconcile the results against a settlement statement

Explain the settlement process in Arizona: who may hold escrow, what title insurance covers (owner's versus lender's policy), and how the closing disclosure timeline works

Build a comparison chart of Arizona ownership forms (sole and several ownership, tenancy in common, joint tenancy with right of survivorship, community property, community property with right of survivorship) covering creation, title passage, and creditor exposure

Explain how land use is regulated in Arizona through zoning, general plans, CC&Rs, and subdivision restrictions, and identify what a licensee may and may not advise on

Re-work every remaining error-log item across all six domains and retire each one only after you can explain it without notes

Complete two 50-question timed sets drawn from Domains 5 and 6 and convert each miss into a one-line rule statement

Practice the calculation types most likely to appear (prorations, LTV, cap rate, commission splits, trust account balances) until three consecutive attempts are error-free

Summarize in writing the five concepts you are most likely to confuse and the distinguishing fact for each

Complete three full-length timed practice examinations under exam conditions, with no notes and no pauses

Analyze each missed question by domain to confirm that no single domain is falling below 70%

Rehearse your one-page reference sheets from weeks 1, 3, and 5 from memory, then correct them against the originals

Simulate exam-day logistics: confirm appointment, identification requirements, and a rest schedule for the 48 hours before test day
