I thought for sure I had failed BEC and AUD and managed to pass with good scores… I know a lot of people think that when that happens, that the person obviously was just making a big deal out of nothing, but with both of those tests my testlets didn’t seem to increase in difficulty and the SIMS/WC didn’t seem like they went well. After the backlash I got with everyone after passing AUD (“oh, yeah, thought you FAILED, geez”) I tried not to say too much about how I felt about BEC, except to vent to my husband. When I told him I passed, he gave a halfhearted “yay” and said, “For God’s sakes, you about had me convinced you failed that time, ” and then scoffed at me when I told him I really did think that I had failed…

A friend of mine has also been taking these things this year and he’s still working on getting that first pass and I accidentally let it slip that I was worried about this one and that it would be hard to get the motivation to study if I failed, to which he responded along the lines of, “You’ve at least passed two and that’s nonsense”. While I’m excited that I passed, I can’t help but feel bad about it. It’s not like I come out of the testing center feeling like a rock star or anything… I think for my last one I won’t say anything to anyone until I get my score.

Does anyone else ever feel kind of guilty about passing?

Mommy needs a cookie. Holding the vodka off until the next kid comes out in August! Can't believe I'm done!

No reason to feel bad….they make us wait for weeks to find out how we did. I never once walked away and said I felt like I nailed that thing…my family always said, “ohh but you are so smart and you studied so hard you had to pass” Boy did I feel pressured waiting for score release after that….I always tell everyone…ohhhh I don't know it all depends it could go either way…I have been fortunate enought to not have to tell anyone it went the negative way. I think the guilt would be worse if you do not pass…I am not sure my hubby would forgive me for ignoring him months on end if I didn't pass!

FAR: I slayed the Dragon!
BEC: I defeated the Siren!
AUD: I eliminated Medusa!

The adaptive nature of the test makes judging how you did difficult. Since few people have taken an adaptive test they just don't get it. I swore I failed Reg walking out the door and ended up with a 97. It is just one of the quirky things about this exam.

i have had to say i failed a few times when i had other friends who were more stressed than me but it never bothered me because i knew they studied a TON. ive only gotten annoyed when my roommate who barely studies would pass exams and then always want to check my score for me. Thankfully, i am finally done and she is still studying. So basically, no i never minded even when i failed as long as i thought that the person had studied for the exam even if they were completely anxious about it
