I’d like to hear people’s experiences with having one chance to pass one test. How much more studying did you do? Did you pass? Anything help in the process of studying?

My palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms were heavy. Almost didnt let me test because there was vomit on my sweater, moms spaghetti.

I treated my REG retake like it was my only chance, even though I still technically had 3 more windows if I failed it (would've probably been single if it came to that). I drilled through every question and sim in Ninja MCQ and actually read a lot of my Roger book. I was studying 7 days a week instead of taking a day off like I'd done in past sections. I actually felt like I hit my peak about a week before my exam and by test day I was convinced I didn't know anything.

B - 88 (2/16)
A - 84 (4/16)
R - 73 (6/16), 82(7/16)
F - 67 (1/16), 84(4/16)

Ethics - 93

After I failed AUD with a 72 in Dec, I still had REG and AUD left in one window. I studied like crazy for REG (6-7 days per week) and I took about 2.5-3 weeks of PTO spread across 1.5 months. Thankfully, I passed. I just have AUD left and I'm a bit nervous. I'm so burnt out from 4-5 months of studying with 0 breaks, but I just have one left. Need to pass audit!!!!!!

Need to bump some Eminem for these past few days! 😀

I technically had 2 more chances to pass REG before those ugly changes but I treated my exam in the LAST quarter of the year as my last one.

I think for the month of November, I prob hung out late like twice that month because I needed to wake up early on weekends to make sure that I studied that day. One important thing is to NOT stress (I know it's hard). But study as much as you can effectively. When I drifted off or got distracted in studying, I always told myself, you can look at this weeks later. It'll still be there.

Study to understand it. It will pay off later. I tried REALLY hard to study every day. If I wasn't learning new material, I would still do MCQs and SIMs every single day. Study until you recognize the wrong answers.
