I passed on my second attempt. In hindsight, I wasn't really prepared for the first exam. After I failed I concentrated on taking as many practice exams as I could and then working through the problems I got wrong. This seemed to do the trick as I passed on the second attempt.

 
That would be me... too. The first time I concentrated too much on theory, not as much on working out problems. The second time, I worked out lots and lots of problems. I think taking the exam is two-fold... knowing the theory (which you can get from reading a reference manual that prepares you for the EI test) and knowing test-taking skills (which you acquire by practicing lots of problems). Although I've heard of people who simply passed by just practicing lots and lots of problems.

 
I knew exactly why I failed the first time... basically I didn't study at all. I studied for my second try and passed.
