Hi!! I am recovering from retaking AUD today at 1:30pm and I came across this forum because I wanted to find others who just went through it, either for the first or the 2nd time.
How do you think it went?
My story: I was working full time with a lot of overnight travel and didn't have time to study everything. So I tried out the test since I had paid for it and I got a 72. I had watched all the Becker lectures but only did 1/3 of the required homework and zero SIMs. I had 2.5 hours left after the MCQs so I really took my time on the SIMs and came out stronger in them, stronger in one tiny section of the MCQs and worse in everything else.
This time, I went through it all as if I never took it, bought the updated software since mine had expired, and took on the monster today. My practice exams had me scoring at 68 and 73. I finally stopped studying on friday because I just couldn't retain anymore… reviewed today before I went in.
I had about 7 questions marked on the first testlet, 10 on the 2nd and then only 3 on the third. So of course I'm psyching myself out… was it because I just knew the material in the 3rd? Or did I do so badly that I got a really easy testlet. I am praying that those questions I marked and one of the two SIMs I struggled with were pretest!
So what was your experience? This is my AUD therapy! LOL
