Honestly, I think part of what these tests do is weed out the people who don't really want it enough. Some people just don't put in time studying, and they get weeded out quickly. Others study hard but get stuck in a few spots, but really want it, so the persevere and stick it out and they get it. Some people start out strong and lose steam halfway through and decide they don't need it.
Just remember that the hard work WILL pay off eventually for those who are willing to stick it out. And it's truly the luck of the draw on this stuff! You could get one of those nightmarish tests where you have 30 questions on some obscure topic, or you could magically get all the “right” questions and get an amazing score.
If you keep working hard and keep studying, eventually the odds will play out and you WILL PASS!
I really have a great deal of respect for everyone on this site. People work so hard, and get so emotionally invested. This really is a life-changing test, and kudos to all of you out there in the trenches!
