| Pass 3 | Commercial Listing, Marketing, Pricing, Financial Evidence, and Buyer/Tenant Qualification |

Missed-question log
| Field | What to write |
|---|---|
| Topic | The topic area or skill tested |
| Error type | Rule gap, calculation gap, document confusion, scenario misread, or timing error |
| Correct decision rule | The rule or reasoning step you should use next time |
| Next drill | The exact topic drill, quick-reference row, or mock set to use next |
The best schedule is the one that turns misses into targeted practice. If a topic keeps repeating in your error log, pause broad mocks and drill that topic before trying another full mixed set.
