    I took the exam and failed for the second time. I utilized the review book; every practice test I could find and the ecourse twice. Is there anything that I am missing because I cannot imagine studying as much as I did and failing again.

    I just took mine and failed for the first time. I received a 586. I felt very confident in my answers on the test and feel that I knew the material....

    I took my test in Aug of 2022.  I was actively miscarrying while I sat for the test, because it was too late to reschedule.  I felt so defeated when my results came back, I got a 613 and the passing score was 620 then.  I have been too afraid to sit for the test again, but I grab motivation from this group daily.  I'm hoping to sit for the exam again in the Spring.

    Thanks for sharing girl. I'm proud of you for taking the test through a hard time and I too will be sitting for the exam in the spring. We won't give up and honestly, I feel it just makes us more knowledgeable or at least that's what Imma tell myself. Have a great holiday!

    Dear Kenesha, 

    I'm so sorry that happened to you. You showed incredible strength and resolve in the face of a difficult circumstance. That's the same strength and resolve that will carry you through the hard work of studying and taking the test again. Don't forget to take care of you and show yourself kindness and grace in the process. I'm so proud of you!  I'll also be sitting for the test in the spring- it's an honor to know I'll be testing among great woman, such as yourself. 

    With heartfelt encouragement,
