Hey guys, I appreciate all the conversation this has started. It really shows how poeple are still stuck between the wanting to pass or wanting to fail.

@CPAawl I'm not quite sure if you posted your comment in the right Forum, this Forum is meant to discuss whether a person , having spent endless hours, days, months, and sometimes years studying for the exam…..would prefer to pass or fail the exam. I believe my intent is clear and in no way attempts to belittle or coddle you. You're right, we should all be able to count from 1 to 10 and you said something about little league at one point….but I'm sure you meant well, I'm just not sure what you're talking about. To be honest, i'm no sure how to tally your response, should i mark you as Want to Pass or Want to Fail?

New Tally:

People Who Want to Pass – 7

People Who Want to Fail – 0

People Making Assumptions – 1

Use of Word “Wowzers” – 1

Explosive Rants – 1

Counting Lessons – 1

@mvonstei – “It really shows how poeple are still stuck between the wanting to pass or wanting to fail.”

lmao. This thread has shown nothing of the sort. You see that number next to “People who want to fail” on your tally? It's hard for me to make out. What number is that? Oh, I can see it now. ITS ZERO.

[Anonymous]

@mvonstei. I am sorry my post confused you.

1. Your question is either trolling or the whole point of taking an exam eludes you. (psst it's to pass.)

2. Your question ranks up there with non-understanding of what 7-10 days means.

3. My point on little league is in conjunction with a pass/fail scoring system. Specifically we give out trophies to anyone who competes because we want everyone to feel they have done well. In reality that is not the case. Numbers give a better point of reference. This whole point was in hopes that your question had some merit or an intellectual point.

@minimorty Look, I think we've all learned something here. When I first started this Thread, I hoped those who fall into the category of “Wanting to Fail” would feel welcome. I wanted them to feel comfortable telling us so that they too could find comfort that they are not alone out there. But from the beginning, your dissent has been permeable. And i'm afraid you're not helping foster the environment I was hoping for….so…..if you could……please……..moderate (Yea, i used that word on purpose)……your comments.

For those of you who have missed parties, family gatherings, movies, dinners, dates, the things grownups do together, meetings, because of studying and still want to Fail…..you're welcome here.

New Tally:

People Who Want to Pass – 8

People Who Want to Fail – 0 (Don't be afraid of Minimorty)

People Making Assumptions – 1

Use of Word “Wowzers” – 1

Explosive Rants – 1

Counting Lessons – 1

Use of “SMH” – 4

Studying to Avoid In-laws – 1

Well now that you pointed out missing parties and families there will be a downside to passing. I really have enjoyed the liberal use of “sorry I have to study” to avoid the in-laws.
