Took it twice. Didn't really put in the effort first time around. Only focused on Life Con part.

Passed last time around. Used Mahler notes and went to Batten's seminar for Life Con. Put in 250 hrs. Those 2 guys make it easy.

Got a 2, then a 7.

Passed first try after studying about 300 hours.

Used Batten and Actex mostly. I thought Actex did a good job of explaining the material. Batten forces you to think very analytically about the material.

Looked through the required readings, but not thoroughly.

Scored a 9.
