ok.. I officially stink! I have studied for weeks for this exam and failed miserably. By my results it looks like I never studied at all. As my exam started I knew I was off to a bad start. My exam mainly focused on the same 4 things. I feel like I spent way too much time on the wrong stuff. I am deeply disappointed, but at the same time not mad at myself, because I know I put countless hours into this. How do I recover?
Thanks for listening.

It's ok! At least you did put in the time! Just pick yourself back up and move to the next thing. Start on HD3 and PM me if you need some help on it! I just passed it yest! Be strong keep moving, and take that at the end!!

Have you tried studygroup101? I felt the same way about studying the wrong stuff and upped my grade one full letter grade using their materials. It boils everything down.

I totally agree with Deb. Studygroup 101 is right on with the content guides, and the EC practice exams are totally worth the money. Best of Luck to you. Dust yourself off, and you wil be ready for the ride. ~Hugs~ Traci

Did you follow the content guide that EC publishes? Don't be discouraged please and as suggested go onto the next test and check out Study 101...many of us have hit this same bump in the road too so it's okay. Just brush off and go on.
Stay positive!
Good luck -D

Keep your head up! I failed the same exam and I passed it the second time. Now I am a EC grad. You will make it!
Hi Everyone,
Thank you all for your support. The one thing that I didn't do for this exam that I did on my last 3 was use Lisa Arends Study guides. I don't know what I was thinking by not using them this time. I think I actually got confident, but boy did that bring me back to reality. I just purchased my materials for HD3. My last two exams I got "B's".. I definitely do not want this to happen again.
Thanks again.
