Why 90% of Students Give Up on the UBC Real Estate Course in the First Month?
Every year, thousands of people in British Columbia sign up for the UBC Real Estate Licensing Course, hoping to become licensed agents and start a new career. But here’s the part no one talks about:
Around 90% of students either pause, quit, or completely lose momentum within the first month.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, you’re not alone. This happens to a lot of students. Let’s look at why this happens and how Realty Academy can help you stay focused, finish strong, and pass the exam.
The Problem: Why So Many Students Give Up Early
1. Information Overload
The UBC textbook is massive, over 800 pages long. It’s filled with legal terms and academic language. Most students open it, read a few pages, and get stuck because it’s not written in a way that feels approachable.
2. No Clear Plan
UBC gives you the textbook and online access, but no roadmap. There’s no guidance on what to study first, what to skip, or how to prepare efficiently. So students often try to memorize everything and burn out quickly.
3. No Structure or Deadlines
It’s fully self-paced. That sounds good at first, but without any weekly plan or accountability, it becomes easy to push studying to the side. Days turn into weeks, and progress stalls.
4. Real-Life Distractions
Most students are working jobs or raising families while studying. Without a simple system in place, life takes over and the exam gets delayed, sometimes permanently.
