Very practical and useful information for my professional of real estate. Thanks for the help Kaplan. The study does go well beyond the 4 hour course, would say at least 8 hours.

We appreciate your noting the time investment. Your perspective is helpful, and we’ll continue working to balance depth with efficiency.

Thank you for your continued trust in us! It’s great to hear that both the presentation and study materials have been consistent across the courses you’ve taken. We appreciate you sharing your experience and are glad it’s been a positive one.
Elective and General core CE should not require passing quizzes in the course in order to obtain certificates for the class for self paced. It is not required in person and zoom live, so it should not be required self paced as well.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We understand how that difference in format can feel inconsistent.
Quiz requirements in self-paced courses are typically built in to meet state regulatory and approval standards for online education, which may differ from those for in-person or live Zoom formats. That said, we recognize your concern around alignment across delivery methods, and your feedback is valuable as we continue to evaluate the overall learner experience.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this and will pass your comments along to our team for further review.
I am now in the middle of the online only, no textbook Illinois 6 hour core CE. What a terribly constructed course. I was trying to find something interactive online and was recommended Kaplan. I just read the reviews about how the tests at the end are hard and expect you to remember EVERYTHING from the smallest printed text. This was SO not worth the 100 bucks I paid. very disappointing. You would think that in this day and era courses could be much more engaging than dumping pages upon pages of text with tiny font.
Kaplan made doing my CE for real estate easy to understand and was able to get my information over to the correct party so that I could renew my license!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We work hard to make the process straightforward from start to finish, so your feedback is truly appreciated.
Old book with changes/corrections required. Table of contents not as clear as I would expect. Then when I entered results on line the questions/answers did not correlate. I did however pass and it was reported to DPBR right away. So thank you for that.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share both the positives and the areas for improvement.
We’re sorry to hear the materials felt outdated and that the table of contents and question alignment created confusion. That’s not the experience we want for our students, and your comments are helpful as we continue to review and update course content for clarity and accuracy.
We’re glad to hear you successfully completed the course and that your results were reported promptly. If you have any additional specifics you’d be willing to share, we’d welcome the opportunity to look into this further and improve the experience moving forward.
Questions are purposely written to be confusing or difficult and in many cases too in depth - i.e. pulling from fine print in units. The course is hard to follow and discern what to focus on for testing. I took this course in 2013 and it was a much better format. For context, I’m historically a good tester , academic and a learner. I’m frustrated and will not recommend Kaplan.

Room for improvement
I have used Bob Hogue School of Real Estate for years. It has always been useful and professional. Although, I hope this tradition continues with the new name, I was concerned to find typos on the continue education workbook and on the exam. Possibly just since they may be new in this market but not the most encouring to entrust educational requirements to be reported accurately. Hope it improves to the previous standard

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your honest feedback and continued support over the years.
You're absolutely right to expect accuracy and professionalism, especially concerning educational materials. We regret the errors you encountered in the continuing education course and understand how that can impact your confidence in our program. This is not the standard we aim to uphold, and we will do better.
We experienced some unexpected issues with our materials, but we have taken steps to correct them and strengthen our review processes to prevent this from happening again. I want to reassure you that while we are now Kaplan, the same experienced support team from Bob Hogue is still here and committed to providing the level of service you've come to expect.
We sincerely hope to earn back your full confidence moving forward.
The course was easy to read and study the required materials. Setting up for taking the test was a simple procedure and made the process less stressful

We’re glad you found the presentation engaging and the insights relevant to today’s market conditions. It’s great to hear the communication and practical takeaways made a positive impact!
taking a quiz is pk but a 17 question at the end of the chapter is ridiculous demanding you can only miss one question! i am only able to do it in pieces, cant dedicate hours a upon hours so its hard to remember exactly the answers especially when 2 of the answers are similar. this is CE not getting a new license!!
Reply from Kaplan Real Estate Education2026-04-08
We understand how frustrating that experience can be, especially when you're balancing CE with a busy schedule. Your feedback about the length of the quizzes and the strict scoring requirements is valuable, particularly the concern around similar answer choices and needing to complete them in multiple sittings. We’ll be sure to share this with our course development team as they evaluate how to best balance knowledge checks with a more flexible learning experience.
Very informative, helpful and always knowledgeable about my specific situation!
