February 2012 exam

[imquaid]

Passed yesterday! Hence the massive hangover this morning.

Anybody know what info comes in your "official" notice 8 weeks from now? Will it contain what your answers were vs correct answers, maybe solutions? There are a couple problems that are going to bug me until I see a solution.

No specific information about how many you got right, or which ones, or any solutions, or any of the questions. Mainly, you'll get a score on a scale of 0-10. Since you passed - congratulations - yours will be a 6,7,8,9 or 10.

Passed yesterday. lt was my secound try. l used Actex first, and l felt like that was not enough so l purchased ASM for this time. ASM helped soooooo much. Actex is good resource to get basic idea but it was not hard enough. Thank you so much ASM!!

Passed today! It was my second try, got a 3 the first time around in December. Had an Adapt earned level of 5.33

I was passing adapt exams with 26's and 27's, so I'm guessing this time was a 6?

I went through 26 questions in 2.5 hours, went back through the 9 I had marked. Answered 4 of those, guessed on the other 5.

Overall, not a bad exam. For me, it felt like a level 6 Adapt exam.

Congrats! I see you're now working on Exam C. Are you shooting for the one in May? I can't decide where to go from here, since I have no real sense of how beastly these next exams are going to be. I've heard of some people even going for the MFE in as early as April, but that sounds a little nuts. I'm mostly debating between C in May or MFE in August. May seems too close, but August is just so far away.

Thank you!

I'm actually going to take it in October.

From my personal experience with this exam and exam p, I learned that a few months for an exam is just not enough for me. It may work for some people, but I need 5-7 months to confidently learn the material for any given exam. It takes me three months to go through the material, and another three months of practice exams.

I work very slowly and tediously, I take my time with everything and try my best to understand every concept. It may take me longer, but with exams fees I'm saving money in the long run.

I half jokingly told my friend that during this exam I showed my work as if I was handing it in for partial credit.
