mh1086 – I have struggled with these exams (to say the least). It has been 2 1/2 years since my first review class. In the first try I took all four sections in six months and failed them all (bad, not just a little either). I retook AUD now four times (including that first time with the other exams) and duplicated a 55 twice. My last attempt was in November (that was my second 55). So since then I learned about this site, I got some great advise, and worked out some new study methonds. I gave up my holidays and stayed home for two weeks at Christmas / New Years to restudy, sat on the 5th, and if life hasn't been cruel enough to me already – they hold my score hostage for 11 weeks.
In all those beginning attempts I found out later I wasn't doing half of what I should have been to be prepared. In my November attempt I didn't sleep the night before, ran out of time, forgot to hit spell check – you name it – I did it. So when I recieve this grade (some day) it will help me judge if what I changed worked. I was a great student, but I would go blank on test day (stupid exam anxiety), and the simulations – I have not got comparable once. So…now they hold my scores due to my sims! What irony, huh?
I am just beside myself trying to concentrate. I am determined that I can pass them all, I have the knowledge, and I am going to get past this beast in the next few months. Even if I come close I will know what I did worked and if I see another 55 someone is going to have to come lock me up!
I wish you all the best. No matter what the situation the wait is horrible! Let's hope today we get one step closer!!!
