I've been trying to get my NAR HPR certification for about eight months now and honestly it's been a humbling experience. Failed the first attempt with a 68% (passing is 75%), studied harder, failed the second time with a 71%. At that point I was pretty demoralized and almost gave up on the whole thing.
What turned things around for me was actually doing structured NAR HPR practice test questions instead of just rereading the Code of Ethics material. I'd been treating it like a reading comprehension exam when it's really testing applied judgment in specific high-performance transaction scenarios. The ethics violation questions especially tripped me up because the wrong answers look almost right.
Has anyone else struggled with the dual agency and disclosure sections? I feel like those are where I kept losing points. Would love to hear what study resources or exam tips actually moved the needle for people who passed on their third attempt or later.
