Default limited exam discussion (no specifics)

i took the exam yesterday and feel good. i took it in may and felt horrible afterwards. this time i feel great. i thought the exam was fair, and there were a few questions that stumped me. cant wait to discuss in more detail. what do you guys/girls think you made? i am hoping for the 9.

So in your poll you are assuming no one can be sure they got a 10?

i guess i can add it, did you make the 10?
the only reason i didnt is because the 10 is generally hard to acheive on FM, but i guess it is possible.

Default Cautiously Optimistic

I'm going with cautiously optimistic. Perhaps the ones I didn't know were pilot questions?
