Why did I study?


I could've walked in there cold, without taking any promotional classes and practice exams and feel the same way I do now. I felt like looking at my neighbors test paper to see if we had the same exam. A friend of mine got a 95 on the key 2006 rewrite, now they wont even answer the phone. Bonkers, I wonder if the proctors wrote the exam. Thanks for the rant!

I hit the books hard. No BS, since the beginning (Is that standard english?) on top of which I took the entire month off, and locked myself in the library. What a F***ing joke. Reality is, the person who didn't study had the same odds as me.  I'm so sorry I spent all that time and money to try to make the top of the list. None of these schools even came close, and on the 06 re-write I got a 91. Im lucky if I got an 80 today. Without giving away specifics the 55 or so PG questions came from obscure parts of common sections at best. I memorized acronyms and nonsense for absolutely nothing! This was probably the first test in history that had no "Proper" corruption questions, unless of course you want to classify the toilet paper. On top of it all, I still can't figure out why they can't tell you how much time is left on the test.  When the third bell rang literally half my room wasnt finished.

I think you have nothing to worry about if you are gonna get an 80. I just hope i get a 70%, by the looks of it, i doubt it.

Sounds like sour grapes but I studied for absolutely nothing.  Thats my point its disheartening. All that BS about put in the time and it will pay off.  You didnt have to study for this. With 45% judgment, why bother with the PG?

 You definitely didn't get the math questions right.
