Default How many times have you sat for Course 1?
I'm just curious how many times you've sat for Course 1, including this sitting. This was my first go at it. I heard a LOT of people talking about how this was their 3rd, 4th, or even 5th attempt at my exam center. That seems high....for me, if I didn't pass after my second try, I'd re-think going into act. sci.

This was the 2nd time I took it. I got a 4 in November 2002. If I didn't pass, I am sure as hell going to take it again.

I haven't taken 1 yet, but I sat for 2 in November and got a 4. This time I took 2 again and got 38/50. I will probably take 1 in November.

Default New question.
It would be interesting to know if all the users that responded your poll passed Course I.
