Gamblors key---64

I looked at all the one i got wrong for reasons to protest and couldnt find anything to fight. I did protest the Operations Orders.

i studied my ass off after the 2011 debacle which in my opinion is way worse than this exam, and still i was shooting for an 88 or better on this one but at this point im just counting my blessings.
To those who say that this test was pure guess work, is not true.
starting with the first question being the "A" i was one of those that picked A as the answer.
I know this test was bunch of ****, but it wasnt all out of left field the answers are in the book.
some of you guys are going to want to criticize for saying all this BUT i assure ive said this from day one.
When i walked of the school in ridgewood i thought i did enough to pass, i was proven right, People that know me can vouch for this. Not trying to be an ******* just saying it how i see it.

Wow! And this attitude will be expressed by a few soon to be lieutenants I hope to never have to meet..... Suddenly this was a fair test with a passing rate of 4.75 percent.... Anyone who knows anything , knows that's indicative of a terrible test. Furthermore..... Cream of the crop? Ok..... great job landing on the right side of the fence here.

Does anyone know how many passed the 2011 exam before throw outs? This was 128 but how many was the 2011 in comparison?

Here we go. I guess we knew we would have to hear this from a few. Now everything is great. "Test was fair", "Everything was in the book", "2011 test was much harder" even though 140 less passed this test. Congrats on passing but Shut the Fvck up !!

Let me say this...im not trying to sound like im the second coming by stating that i passed with a 73. I Count myself as one "lucky" ones. This test was a fvcking piece of sh!t no doubt about it. I still maintain that the 2011 test was worse than this one. The shock factor, the element of surprise wasnt there for this one as it was four years ago. Yes, we were all expecting a a fair test and this anything but that...

This is where i put my two cents in...my objective is not to rub it on anyones face, on the contrary, im trying to be objective about the whole situation. Those that know me heard me talk about this test this way even when i was looking at a 64. I didnt change my tone now that I passed....ive had this view all along.

This test was designed to fvck with our minds....if you let that happened then you let yourself fall for the trick. I did the same, i felt for it in 2011. in 2011, when i got to question 40 i had already lost "mentally."

I did not let that happen this time around, there was sh!t i didnt know... But i didnt lose sight of the goal, remain calm a tackle one question at a time.

I have many friends for whom i feel the pain they are going through. Again!!

For those that read only the class handouts, that was not going to cut it. Dont blame the test blame your preparation.

After the last test, i decided to read the book cover to cover and took 4 compositions books worth of notes.

Those that dont adapt to the changes are left in the aftermath wondering what happened.

Although I agree with most of what Suckerpunched said, I think it's a little to soon to talk about that. Let people vent for a while!
