Our take
America's Professor suits a new agent who learns best from video and a real book, and who wants a fixed price with no subscription. Courses for a full line cost $199, with the textbook shipped free.
Licensed agents need a different provider, since there is no renewal CE here. Texas and Washington don't require a pre-licensing course, so there it is optional exam prep.
There's no pass guarantee, but access keeps getting extended until you pass.

Corrections
Vendors change their pricing all the time and they don't email us when they do. So if you see a price on here that's gone up, a plan America's Professor quit selling or a contract term that reads different now, let us know and send the link to the page where America's Professor has it. Somebody here pulls up that page and checks it before we change anything on ours.
