"Must" and "May"
—In the Real Estate Notary Exam, a Single Character at the End of a Sentence Can Flip a Right to a Wrong

[Introduction: Getting it Wrong Despite Knowing the Knowledge]
A common tragedy in the Real Estate Notary exam.
You knew the content.
You understood the system.
But you got it wrong.
Why?
Because you overlooked the
end of the sentence.
The Real Estate Notary exam is a legal exam.
Law strictly distinguishes between "obligation" and "possibility."
In other words,

"must do"

and"may do"

are completely different things.

1. "Must do"
This is an
obligation.
If you don't do it, it's a violation.
There is no room for choice.

For example,
when a real estate agent explains important matters,
they must have a licensed real estate notary explain them.
This is an obligation.

2. "May do"
This is a
right or optional action.
You may do it.
You don't have to do it.

In other words,
the law is simply permitting it.
It is not an obligation.

3. Typical trick questions on the exam
For example,
even though it is actually
"may rescind,"
the question text

changes it to "must rescind."Then,
the content looks almost the same.
However,
legally, they are different things.
Therefore,

it becomes incorrect.

4. The Real Estate Notary exam targets the end of sentences
The examiner is looking at
not just your knowledge,
but whether you can read the legal provisions accurately.
Therefore,

may
↓
must

must
↓
may

This swapping happens frequently.

5. Tips for solving
When you read a question,
first look at the end of the sentence.
And,
mark it in your head.

Obligation
→ "Must"

Optional
→ "May"

Distinguish them this extremely.

6. Common patterns
"must notify"
→ Obligation

"may rescind the contract"
→ Right

"may request"
→ Right

"must install"
→ Obligation

7. A source of points for the Real Estate Notary exam
Actually,
there are more of these sentence-ending questions
than difficult problems.
In other words,
there are points you can get
by not skipping over words
rather than by the amount of knowledge you have.

8. Ultra-short memorization
Must
= Obligation
= Must do

May
= Right
= Allowed to do

[Conclusion: The Real Estate Notary Exam is a "test of reading sentence endings"]
In the Real Estate Notary Exam,
it is not just the systems and numbers, but the endings of the legal provisions that are important.
In particular,

"must" and

"may" have a much larger difference than they appear.
In other words,
when reading exam questions,
before looking at the content,

getting into the habit of checking the sentence endings
will reduce lost points.That is why the Real Estate Notary Exam is

"a test where the outcome is decided by a single word at the end of a sentence."
