Hi, I read your last PM but I am not able to reply back.

If your interested in studying let me know.

Hi beautifulstar. I received your email but I can't reply. Maybe because I'm new to this forum. Just email me at [email protected] thanks :)

@beautifulstar (Apparently I am not able to send private messages until I participate in 15 topics so I'll just leave this here) =]

Thank you!

What I would've done differently would be to have been able to take it as soon as possible and not be scared of the results. Failing is not the end of the world.

Study wise, I'm glad I took the Life Savers review course. I don't mean to sound like I am sponsored by them or anything... lol. They teach you a lot of good test taking strategies and how to break down the questions. Something you do not learn in school.

I could've studied more, I'm sure if I would've done more questions I could have passed it at 85.

I mean, I am still not 100% sure if I passed, but I do feel pretty confident.

I guess I will have to wait 3-6 weeks and I will definitely keep this thread updated!!!
