Congrats! Judging from previous few posts about the exam today, it seems like all of you guys encountered harder questions?

I don't know really... I just got more questions that I didn't expect to get. Honestly I think doing a ton of hard problems the week before the exam actually made me struggle on the easy ones. It could have been that my exam was easy, just hard for me. Like there were a bunch of topics I was almost positive I would have at least one question on and didn't even see them once.

I realized a lot of careless mistakes I've made...after coming home. Even though I didn't pass, it makes me feel a bit better knowing that those that did had a though time with it today. I don't know if this is how they plan it or what but congrats to those that passed and hopefully I'll catchup soon.

You'll get it the next time. I think if you're on the brink the questions you draw from the bank makes a big difference.

Did ADAPT and was at earned level 7.6. TIA exams 1-2. Probably 6-7 practice exams overall. I also had Probability & Statistics I & II over the past year so that helped, even though I didn't really focus much in those classes.

I started studying on the 15th of June and studied on average 2 hours a day. I have a system where I have a wall sized calendar that I hang on a wall in my living room. Any day I put in a significant effort I mark off that day. Idea is you get a chain going and you don't want to break it. Works for me.

Hi!!! Moving on to MFE!!!!

[TeamNYK]

Anyone else know where I can take the ADAPT practice exams without having to pay for the entire course of 200?

Also, are there any other sources out there that won't cost me a lot besides the TIA Exams and the Axtec manuel.
