ARGUS cert exam difficulty
I got a $500 student cert package containing the 10 e-learning videos, advanced guide, and trial software. I also have access to a practice exam and certification exam.
My question is what to expect on exam? The e-learning videos contain dozens of practice multiple choice questions; i have been recording these questions and their answers, and hopefully this will allow me to ace the multiple choice portion of the exam. Is there a big overlap on questions/content?
Because to be frank, I am really just going thru the motions with these online videos. I just want to put this certification down on my resume, but I am afraid I might not pass test now.





Having Argus experience is of
Having Argus experience is of utmost importance if you want to get a job as an analyst. I understand that it is a case of “chicken and the egg” because you need to have Argus experience to be an analyst but you get Argus experience only by analyzing deals. There are companies that offer workshops that you can take (Realogic in the Midwest, REFM on the east coast) but I got my real first taste with the software in my RE graduate program. I bring this up because technically, Argus is not difficult to master. It is all data entry. The thing employers really want you to know is how to correctly abstract a lease into the program and how do you arrive at those economic projections like inflation. Playing around with the software can help. The certification is still new and I have not seen it on many resumes yet so the jury is still out on it.
hey i ve taken it, study
hey i ve taken it, study those MC questions and you should do fine on the MC portion. Go through ALL case examples and models in the book that's the only way you'll learn, not through the Videos. I took it last week and didn't pass by a point. I'd say it's fairly difficult due to the modeling part of the test. One simple mistake will through your answers all off. Somehwat of a time constraint as well. I finished with 5 min left.
