Second Time Test Takers

[lizardo5]

I'm taking the PE for the first time this April. However, I don't feel very confident this first time around. I don't think I've put in enough time to prepare for the exam. I'm still going to try my best, but I don't think I will be fully ready for it. I passed the FE first time around with minimal studying, but I think it was easier because I was still in school. 

 For any second time test takers out there, how was the test the second time around? Did you feel more prepared than the first time? 

Thanks!

@lizardo5, take things one test at a time.

Going into the October 2015 exam, I didn't not feel good at all. After the test I was convinced that I failed. But, 8 - 10 weeks later, I found out that I passed.

Stay focused on the April exam. You might be more prepared than you think.

@lizardo5, I didn't feel confident either time I sat for the exam, so don't let your head play those tricks on you.

You already know a lot! That's why you're able to even qualify to sit for the exam. Take a little time to identify the areas where you feel weakest and tackle them head-on. Write out steps that make sense to you for how to solve those problems that always kick your butt. Write down all the little short cuts that you use and put it all in a binder for exam day. Tab your books. You've got this!
