Sorry that you did not pass.

I highly recommend that you take at least a week before you start to prepare again. And prepare as if you have never tested before, since the exam will be completely different from what you just wrote.

Best of luck to you.

Best suggestion that any of us can make is to wait a full week from the time that you get your results before you start to prepare again. Your brain needs to relax, you will be preparing for a new exam as if you have never tested before.

Best of luck to you.

Sorry you didnt pass. It can be very discouraging. I didnt pass my first time either. It stopped at 2 hrs with 75 questions. I was moving the next day and could barely think about the test.

I waited a few wks before starting to test again .... we drove from Alaska to WA and I waited till we were in a house before I started studying.

I used Kaplan's Strategies book from Barnes and Nobles and Exam Cram from Wilda Rhinehart .... i think is how u spell it. Those are the only 2 books I used this time. I did the questions in the book and on the CD that came with it.

Just remember that you need to take a break before hitting the books again....forget about the 1st test experience....and just go for it.

I passed the 2nd attempt with 2 hrs of test time and 76 questions.

Good Luck

wow! yeah that's what i'm gonna do two maybe 2 books this time.. I enrolled at suzanne's plan and i'm just waiting for the first mailing.. i'm refreshing my mind by reading saunders only, and i was surprise i'm actually understanding it thoroughly not like the first time that i just read and understand a bit and memorize. very wrong---..
