How We Verify Every Question

The process

1. 1Ground every claim.Each question's legal assertions are traced to a specific statute or rule — not to another prep book. If a claim can't be grounded, the question doesn't ship.
2. 2Reconcile in batches. The bank was audited topic-by-topic in 16 verification batches, with every correction logged — wrong citations fixed, ambiguous scenarios tightened, outdated law updated.
3. 3Enforce Florida-specific rules mechanically.A lint layer rejects questions that violate standing Florida facts: transaction broker is the default relationship (F.S. 475.278), dual agency is not recognized, escrow follows the 1-3-15-30 business-day sequence, doc-stamp math must state its county. These aren't style preferences — each encodes a way prep content commonly goes wrong.
4. 4Explain with authority. Every explanation says why the right answer is right, why the others are wrong, and cites the governing statute or rule so you can check us.
5. 5Stay corrected.Every question has a “flag” button. Flags land in a review queue and verified issues are fixed in the live bank — the pipeline is a loop, not a one-time pass.

What the process actually caught

Real corrections from the verification log — the kind of errors that sit in prep material for years because nobody checks the statute:

• Florida is a notice state — not race-notice

  A recording-statute question originally described Florida as race-notice, a distinction most national prep gets wrong because many states are. F.S. 695.01 makes Florida a pure notice state: a bona fide purchaser without notice prevails even without recording first. The question and explanation were corrected against the statute.

• The condo resale cancellation period changed July 1, 2025

  HB 913 amended F.S. 718.503 to extend the condo resale rescission period from 3 to 7 business days. Prep material written before mid-2025 still teaches 3 days — an answer that is now simply wrong. Our cancellation-period questions reflect the current 7-business-day rule (and still distinguish the HOA 3-calendar-day trap).

• FREC's composition is more specific than "7 members"

  Two questions understated the requirements. F.S. 475.02 specifies 4 brokers with 5 years' licensure, 1 broker or sales associate with 2 years, 2 never-licensed lay members — and at least one member aged 60 or older. Both questions were corrected to the statute.

• Miami-Dade doc stamps have a surtax, not just a lower rate

  The well-known $0.60/$100 Miami-Dade rate applies only to single-family residences. Other property there pays $0.60 plus a $0.45 surtax (F.S. 201.031) — an exam-grade distinction our math questions state the county for, every time.

• The annual intangible tax was repealed — the mortgage one wasn't

  Florida's recurring intangible personal property tax was repealed effective 2007, but the nonrecurring 2-mill intangible tax on new mortgages (F.S. 199.133) is alive and tested. Questions conflating the two were reframed so each fact stands correctly on its own.
