Welp, test attempt #2 failed. It's disheartening and frustrating with all the time I put into studying this time around to still have failed. That being said, I did do better than I did the first time. All I can do is get back up and try try again and improve more, hopefully this time to...

I appreciate the encouragement. My test attempt #2 is the day after tomorrow. I studied way more than I did last time I took it (pre-Covid, so this is my first time with the CBT). This time around on top of my studying I was able to do while working, I took off of work for about the past two...

Yup, I've been telling my wife similar.  We need to set dedicated, blocked out study time.  That's another mistake I made last time around, though it would've been difficult to set time aside ahead of time with how hectic my work schedule was.  It is a great idea to put it on her calendar; I'm...

It's not that I hadn't taken any practice tests, just that I hadn't the dedicated time I desired to exclusively take practice tests.  In the weeks/months prior, I was going through the material of the coursework and working practice problems associated with each section.  I was able to work on a...

Thanks.  Just gotta stay on top of it.  Keeping my eyes on the prize...

For prep for the Oct 2019, I took the PPI OnDemand course.  I took the holidays to just relax and get back into a positive mental space.  Now that the new year is here, it's study time.  I have the printouts of all the slides and problems that were worked in class, bound and tabbed by topic. ...

I used the OnDemand course.  I knew it was going to be difficult to stay on schedule with the live course with family and work schedule.

It wasn't great.  I was less than pleased with it.  I think I'll have to get a different reference book as well.

Based on what I've read here, I may just get the CI practice problems (vol 1-4) and the NCEES practice exam to run through, as well as this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0988187612/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I already have a couple of books that arrived to me...

I've never even heard of complex imaginary.  It seems like many of you recommend CI over PPI prep material?  I used PPI for the Oct 2019 exam and I did notice that the questions during practice aren't really the same as far as form and level of difficulty as on the test itself.  I have all the...

I got 37 and this was my first time taking the test.  I didn't feel great after I took the exam, but I didn't feel like I did worse than 50%.  Makes me feel like I not only failed the test, but bombed it.  I'm going to grind on practice tests through PPI. That's what I just did not have time for...

Well, congrats to all that passed.  To those among us that failed (myself included), sign up for April, take the next couple weeks to lick your wounds and enjoy the holidays, and get to studying after the new year.  We all know what to expect and shall be better prepared for the next run.  I've...

Thanks.  Yeah, I had multiple project deadlines the last few weeks before the test and did not have time to run through practice tests.  I was concerned about that.  I have been exposed to the material and have plenty of time to run through practice tests.  I'll get it next time.

Can confirm Florida is out.  1st time testing, and I failed.  Time to get registered and start studying again.
