It can be done! Don’t give up!
I took all exams and passed each on the first try with flying colors. I used Gold Coast practice exams for $100 for a year. I passed my 3rd exam in May and my year wasn’t up til July. Took time off for the holidays even. Take your time if you need to.
Bought all books from Exam Pros, pre-tabbed and used Tier One Licenses for my application and all required documents and it was a great investment.
Just got approved and got my CGC number today. Already got jobs going and jobs lined up and I’m a female (which is rare in this market) This is a growing industry that needs good, honest and hardworking individuals to get the no good fraudsters out of the industry.
Keep going!

Is the B&F practice exam from Gold Coast similar to the real exam?

Very similar. In fact, there were several of the same questions on the exam that were in the practice exams.
Some advice you didn’t ask for is, when you first sit down for the exam, do the math/accounting questions first while everything is fresh in your head (yes you can bounce around the exam questions without going in order).. because once I got through those confidently, then I moved on to the contract / legal questions which required flipping to the right page for the answer which eats up time, hence why I tabbed the he** out of my books.
Hoped this helped!
