In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you finish a draft, set aside your work for a few hours, a day, or several days to clear your mind. After a short break, take another look at the piece with a fresh perspective, and think about your intended audience as you begin revising. Depending on your deadline, you may only have a few hours to set the piece aside. Do something else with your free time instead of thinking about the paper. When you revisit it, you’ll be a bit more refreshed. Sometimes, it can be difficult to edit in a document on a computer or laptop. Hold the paper in your hands and focus on editing and revising 1 page at a time. Use highlighters, pens, and sticky notes to make comments for yourself, and then use this draft to adjust the document on your computer. If you don’t have access to a printer, consider visiting a local library to use theirs, or pay to have your document printed at an office supply store. You may catch far more errors by reading your work out loud than you would if you read it silently. As a final proofreading measure, read the document out loud with a pen or pencil in your hand or ready to edit it in a word processor. Then, make a note or correct any errors you come across as you read. You may also find it helpful to read your writing out loud to a partner or to have someone read your work out loud to you. This will provide a different perspective on how the writing sounds and you may catch even more errors by doing this. Let your reader offer advice on the paper’s structure, clarity, and overall quality. Have them identify any places where they may have been confused or bored. Be open to suggestions and participate in a conversation about your work to understand the reader’s perspective.  Remember that you don’t have to follow every suggestion, but you should heed at least some of the advice from the reader. If you want to improve your editing and revising skills, offer to read someone else’s paper in return.
Summary: Allow at least 1-2 hours between writing and revising. Print out the paper to see errors that are tough to catch on a screen. Read your document out loud. Ask a peer to proofread your paper and provide comments.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You will need two forms of identification with your signature on them, one of which must also have a photo. You will also need to bring your certification from your pre-license education class.  It is also helpful to bring your confirmation number, just in case there are any problems. The Florida Real Estate Sales Associate Exam contains 100 multiple-choice questions. 45 of the questions are on real estate principles and practices, 45 or on Florida and Federal laws, and 10 require you to complete real estate-related math calculations.  You must earn a score of 75 or better to pass the exam. You will receive an official score report that includes your photo as soon as you complete the exam. In the even that you need to retake the exam, you will need to wait at least 24 hours to reschedule and go through the same process (Pearson VUE's website or Customer Care call center) that you used to schedule the initial exam. Be sure to do allow time for additional studying before you retake the exam to improve your odds of success. In order to activate your license, you will need a signed statement verifying that you will be working under the guidance of a licensed broker. This broker can be independent, or a member of a large real estate firm.  The broker’s job is to mentor you as a salesperson, and she will bear responsibility for any mistakes that you make. In exchange, you pay the broker either a monthly fee or a set part of your commission.  You can begin looking for a broker to sponsor you at any time during the licensing process. Be sure to interview with a number of different brokers before making a selection, as different brokers have different fee schedules, and provide different services. Most real estate brokerages are always looking for new salespersons.  Begin by calling brokerages in your area (think about which signs you typically see up at homes you’d be interested in selling,) and go from there. After you pass your exam, your license must be activated through a Florida licensed real estate broker or owner/developer.  The broker can do this by submitting the DBPR RE 11 form to confirm that you have been added as an employee.  Once this is done, you can launch your real estate career! For questions about this process, you can call the Department of Business and Professional Regulation Customer Contact Center at (850) 487-1395.
Summary:
Bring all required information to your exam appointment. Complete the exam and receive your score. Schedule a retake. Choose a broker to sponsor you. Activate your license.
