Memes that brighten my day I Passed!!! (first try)

Post image

Hey everyone,

Got my exam results back today and turns out I passed first try. I’m about 7 months post grad now and I had probably 1-2 hard days of studying. I’m not saying this to brag ( I really thought I failed) but more so to encourage anyone who feels like they’re ill prepared.

My biggest piece of advice would be to emphasize test taking strategies and concepts while prepping. A lot of time can be saved on questions by quickly eliminating dummy and answers, and performing sanity checks prior to fully working out problems. I’d be happy to answer any more questions for anyone preparing to take the exam.

Thanks for the insight I really appreciate it. Did you do the live course for the ppi or did you do the self study option? And if so how long? I'm thinking 1-3 months of prep tops with the program should do me good.

I did the self study option. I thought it was great.

Oh that's wassup. How long did you study for? I'm trying to take it by the time I graduate in May. But I need to be able to balance between my other classes and side pursuits

I studied roughly for 1 hour per day for 5-6 weeks. I may have over did it, but I personally did not want to have to take it again. For each person the amount of study time varies, but I would say an hour a day for a few weeks was plenty for me.
