Problem: Write an article based on this 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.

Answer: 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.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide where you want to place your fake rock. Dig a small indention where the rock will be placed. Place the rock in the hole.

Answer: Fake rocks can be used as a part of a water feature, lining pathways, or as garden accents. Determine the best place for your rock based on its size and appearance. Unless you used hydraulic cement mix, keep the fake rocks away from water. Standing in water or heavy water splashing can cause regular cement to break down. Place the rock in place and trace the edge of the rock with a stick or shovel. Dig a 1-2" pit in the shape of the rock. Placing the edges of the rock underground will provide a more natural look of a rock outcropping. Push dirt and other small rocks against the edge of the rock to integrate it with the landscape. Build multiple rocks to create elaborate rock landscapes.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare your hair and work area. Mix your carrier and essential oil. Rub the mixture into your roots and scalp. Comb through your hair again and section it into two parts. Apply the base/carrier oil to the length of your hair.

Answer: Just as you would for a straightforward base oil application, comb through dry hair to work out any tangles. You hair can be just-washed or on its second or third day out from your last shampooing. Spread old towels or paper towels around to protect against oil splatter. Essential oils are too strong to apply in large amounts directly to the scalp. Even with this diluted delivery system, you may feel a strange tingling sensation in your scalp. Don't worry it's perfectly normal. It just means the essential oil is doing its work! Pour a teaspoon of your chosen carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Add 2-3 drops of your chosen essential oil. Rub your hands together to mix the oils and spread them over your palms and fingertips. If you want to make a larger batch, mix 1 tablespoon (15mL) of essential oil into .25 cups (59mL) of carrier oil. The essential oils won't be useful on the shaft and ends of your hair. You should target your scalp, follicles, and hair roots with them. Using your fingertips, massage the oils into your scalp. Remember to treat the entire scalp, not just the top of your head. Using a wide-tooth comb, comb through your hair to both detangle it. This will also spread the oil through any hairs that didn't get treated by your fingers. Split your hand down the middle so you can work with your hair in two sections, rather than tackling it all at once. Pour a teaspoon of your base/carrier oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together again to spread it out over your palms and fingertips. If you are using castor oil, mix teaspoon of castor oil with teaspoon of a thinner, lighter oil (like grapeseed oil). Castor oil is thick and gloopy on its own. Run your fingers and palms through your hair to transfer the oil. Begin where the essential and carrier oil treatment ends, closer to your scalp. Run your hands down to the ends of your hair. Work your way all the way through one section of hair, remembering to pay attention to the hair on the back of your head. Give the second section of hair the same treatment.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Brush the item with a clothing brush or lint-free cloth before treating. Vacuum velvet furniture with the brush attachment. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda and a cup of lemon juice to treat spots on furniture. Mix 1 tbsp delicate detergent and 2 cups of water to treat clothing and accessories. Skim the foam of the mixture with a lint-free cloth. Dab the foam onto to the spot using a lint-free cloth. Allow the item 3-5 hours to dry. Apply a protective coating to furniture or accessories to avoid new stains.

Answer:
Brushing the velvet will remove dirt and lint, and loosen any mats in the fabric. This prepares the fabric for treatment and can remove caked-on dirt before spot cleaning. When brushing accessories, make sure you're getting into corners and areas where there might be hardware to remove dirt and lint. The suction will remove any dirt and lint, and the brush attachment will loosen up mats in the fabric to prepare it for cleaning. Be gentle and don't push too hard on the fabric as you can crush the pile. To prevent further stains and dirt from damaging the fabric, you can vacuum your velvet once per week. You may need to add extra lemon juice to create more foam. You won't be using any of the liquid portion of this mixture, so don't worry about having excess liquid. If you're cleaning the entire piece of furniture, you'll probably need to add more baking soda and lemon juice as you work. Make sure there are a lot of bubbles while you're mixing. If you need to, you can add more water and detergent to create the foam. Gently pick up some of the foam that was created by the mixture. You don't need a large amount, just enough to cover the top of the cloth. You can remove excess foam with a dry area of the cloth. Let the area dry and brush it with the cloth or a clothing brush. For furniture, you should apply the foam by wiping in long strokes with the nap of the fabric. You should test this method in a small, inconspicuous area first, such as the inner lining or hem hem of a piece of clothing if it has velvet on it, or a non-visible portion of the furniture or accessory. Although the mixture might appear to dry quickly, give it some time to completely dry from the fabric and allow the pile of the velvet to return to its original form. Avoid using the item or piece of furniture during this time. If the stain is still present, apply another coat and allow it to dry again, repeating until the stain is gone. You can find protective coating for velvet furniture at department stores, furniture stores, or online. Make sure you're misting the item by spraying at least 6 inches (15cm) away from the fabric, rather than saturating it with the spray. After the spray dries, wipe the furniture with a clothing brush or lint-free cloth to remove any mats or creases. Protective coatings made specifically for delicate fabrics, such as Scotchguard and Nano Protector, are great solutions for accessories that tend to get dirty quickly. You can also use furniture protector spray to ensure waterproofing for velvet shoes. Applying a protective coating might void your item's warranty, so make sure you check the care information before spraying the item with the solution.
