Motivation. I like that.

The worst thing you can do with a score like that is quit.

I know its hard to start studying again soon but i say to pick up the book again asap. Its realistically impossible to fail this test studying hard for two years. Ive seen people jump up 10-15 points.

I got a 67 and i'm going to start studying at a slow pace now slowly.  Maybe 1-2 hours every other day.

Aj10305, do you plan to go to the protest review?  There's always the possibility they could overturn 3 questions.

like a jack ass i didnt bother for the protest session.  Now i dont think theyll take last minute protest sessions.  Anyone know when they will come out with a key after the protest?  how many do you think will be thrown our or double answers?  In my opinion i think there were quite a few  of double answers.

Starting in April I will read the Key lessons and do the practice questions three times a week, every week a new one until I finish them all. Hopefully the next exam will be announced in June and at that moment I'll start reading the PG plus the lessons.

This is my plan unless God will make the DCAS people change 5 answers. I know that it has happened in the past but it's highly unlikely.

I got 68 on all these complied answer keys not counting the double answers leaning against my anwer and the unknowns. I ended up with a 65. It sucks but I did all that I could protesting some of my wrong answers today. Only God knows what will happen.

listen guys&girls..

keep at it and it will payoff..

..just think about the time and money you invested, keep studying and don't give up...

these tests are not fair nor straight forward. do not think your stupid because you
failed and so and so passed...sometimes in life you need to fail in order to succeed.

i remember when i was studying and a unit requested esu because of an aided needing oxygen...the radio blew up with stupid idiots all over the radio making fun of this unit....i was thinking this guy is studying and the idiots will not make boss..

on the 08 test i got a 67-69 from the pre dcas keys off this forums. it drove me crazy that i had to wait 5 weeks to see the real results. the 5 weeks past and ended up with a 67. i was still optimisitc about getting 3-5 double/throw outs cause history showed in the 03 06 and 07 they averaged about 5, but still i was pulling my hair out cause i remember certain questions i got wrong that i knew i shouldve gotten right, cause of careless mistakes. I didn't protest (dont think it would have made a diff. if i did or didn't).

basically what im trying say is if you dont get your points when the revised key comes out, on the next test DONT check your scores here. the 09 test i got a 77 and i pretty much had the same feeling coming out from the 08 test. probably just passed or just failed. i didn't check my score and i had such a better feeling WHILE i was scoring my test when real key came out. granted i did pass but during the 5 weeks i didn't think about the real key much at all. so much less stress compared to last year.

good luck

I have almost 10 years on and this is my 5th time for which I finally passed. I kept telling myself that I would take the test until I retired or passed, whichever came first. Keep telling yourself it is not a matter of if, but when.
