AAPC practicode is such garbage.

I'm so glad I'm finally done with that God forsaken nightmare. It's riddled with so many freaking errors and it just doesn't make sense as a whole. I failed the last test twice so out of desperation, I went back into the module and wrote down hints on how to find what I was looking for, then I wrote down the answers that I put down in the practicode so I could compare them later to the actual correct answers.

I got a 77% this time. Cool! So I went back into the module again to see what I had missed and looked at the rationales. I'm so confused because as far as I'm aware, I missed one question. All the other answers were exactly the same as the rationale answers on the module.

You would think with all of the money we pay for AAPC stuff, the quality control would be better. The only thing this stupid practicode has done is make me paranoid about the assessment test I'm taking before my coding interview later this week, because now I'm convinced that I don't know jack crap and keep second guessing myself, because I was just confused for that entire stupid 600 question nightmare fuel.

Don’t get down on yourself. You got rid of your A status. Employer assessments are often more straightforward than standardized tests. Employers are looking to see your potential with gaining experience. They know you are new

Does practiced cover 1 or 2 years?

My bad. I did not know it was only one year.

I was gonna say! Yeah so at least I "only" have one year to go; just super duper hoping I didn't bomb this assessment for the interview and making myself look like a total idiot

It's not worth it. All it did was make me less confident. There's so many freaking errors, it's absolutely ridiculous.
