Our Mission & Passion
 o
eliminate inappropriate and undue confusion about just what is
going to be “on the test.”
On-The-Test Publishing has a mission rooted in the passion of
Thoreau’s exhortation, “Simplify, simplify.” This maxim serves as
the guiding principle for taking the many unfamiliar and strange
elements of a complex profession and making them accessible,
comprehensible, and memorable, especially for those who may be
completely new to real estate.
There is so much to know.
The basics of real estate have been catalogued repeatedly and
exhaustively in lengthy, detailed lists commonly known as the
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) that define the “content
domain” of real estate as practiced by licensed professionals.
Such lists are often created, organized, and/or used by State
regulators, real estate educators, real estate authors & publishers,
and testing companies for the following interrelated purposes:
- State Education and Licensing Agencies: Pre-licensing
and continuing education course content requirements and course
curriculum guides
- Real Estate Educators: Course materials, handouts,
and presentations
- Real Estate Authors & Publishers: 400+ page textbooks
and 200+ page study guides
- License Exam Providers: Test Specifications, Content
Outlines, and Exams
Bringing it all together, simply!
On-The-Test publications enhance and further all of the above
efforts by adhering to the “simplify, simplify” principle: these texts
present concise, comprehensive summaries of real estate subject
matter organized by placing specific topics in their most reasonable
“content home” within each national testing company's examination
content outline.
The most direct way to “get it” for the test, and for good.
This direct, streamlined presentation helps you “get” the
material. And retain it. Not only for the day of the test, but for
the day you need it on the job. That will be the real
passing grade!
Let’s not forget the ultimate beneficiary: the public!
“Getting it for good” serves to support the widespread charge of
State licensing agencies to protect the public through ensuring real
estate licensees are well-versed in the basics of the profession.
The streamlined, focused presentation of these publications
reinforces key principles, concepts, and terms that are integral to
the professional “knowledge-base” that every member of the public
who buys or sells real estate has a right to expect of every real
estate licensee, brand-new or seasoned. |
