March 2012 Exam Thread

[tomhawk24]

Since we are turning our calendars to March today, I thought I'd start a March 2012 thread.

How's your progress coming along?

My test is on the 22nd and I am getting kind of nervous. These next three weeks will be a real grind.

Took ACTEX PE 2 today and did fairly well, however, I thought it was a little easy.

I'm taking it on the 16th. I've scored 18, 20, 18 on the first three Actex PE's. I'm kind of nervous with those scores. Not sure if those scores are above or below average. I'm gonna take all 8 Actex exams then do the 4 free TIA the days leading up to the exam.

I got 17 on ACTEX2 with several bonehead mistakes and a few of them I should have known how to do but didn't try.

I am going to take all 8 ACTEX and the 4 TIA. I also plan on doing some ADAPT exams too. I would recommend checking that out because it is a pretty good indicator on if you will pass or not.

ADAPT is a great resource in preparing for P so I would strongly encourage anyone taking the exam to get at least a 7 day subscription. I would imagine you are fine with Actex scores in the 19-22 range. I think I was in the mid to high 20s on Actex and TIA and scored a 10.

Yeah, I have heard only good things about ADAPT. I think I'm gonna go with the 15 day here soon to get in plenty of practice.

So hows it going for you guys? What are you doing during your final week? Im just doing a ton of practice problems.

[bellaisa]

how many problems are you guys doing per day? do you pick out the problems randomly?

[dmr09]

well yesterday i did actex pe 4 and an adapt pe, and went over all the solutions and then redid the problems i got wrong. Today I will probably just do adapt all day because i only got the 2 day subscription. My earned level is a 6.96 now and Im hoping to get it up to at least a 7.5 by tomorrow night. hbu?

[bellaisa]

currently reviewing no, im sitting in may. going to do all the TIA PE, the Actex PE and then the questions i can find here and there

I did Actex PE exam 6 yesterday and it was ridiculously hard. Tried Actex PE 7 this morning and didn't finish it. I got the feeling that I was wasting my time trying to take it when I was guessing on basically all of them. So I looked at the solutions and tried to figure a couple out. I did have a lot of confidence but after Actex PE 6 and 7 I have lost some motivation. I take the exam Friday the 16th. Going to start with TIA Exam 1 tomorrow.
