Introduction
In the Real Estate Notary exam, your success is determined by how you organize your knowledge before you start solving problems.
If you 'just happened to get it right' on practice questions,
that state will not work for the actual exam.
This time, we will organize the necessary knowledge first, and then verify it with past exam questions.

[Answer/Summary]
Correct
[Exam Preparation Point]
The key point to remember for seismic diagnosis is 'June 1, 1981'.
▪️ Old Seismic Standard (Construction started before June 1, 1981)
→ If it has undergone a seismic diagnosis, you must explain the details.
▪️ New Seismic Standard (Construction started on or after June 1, 1981)
→ Explanation is not required.
If you organize it as 'Old Standard = Explanation Required' and 'New Standard = No Explanation Required,' you can make decisions without hesitation during the actual exam.
Conclusion
The Real Estate Notary exam is
not a test of just guessing right or wrong,
but a test of whether you possess the knowledge to distinguish between correct and incorrect.
