@Lauren A – don't give up! I've struggled with it as my previous job made it incredibly difficult to study enough, and then I would lose motivation and not care… it's easy to get down on the whole thing. My number 1 piece of advice is to just be honest with yourself – honest about how much time you need to study, honest about why you really aren't passing (did you study enough? Many times I didn't. Is your job hurting you? Mine was!), and honest about if you are studying in the right way (I switched materials!). Think everything over about what you REALLY need to do to succeed. Remember, it doesn't matter how you get there or what your scores are, as long as you pass eventually. It's corny but true – the only people who really fail the exams are the ones who give up. You can do it!!!!!
