1st time: 180/74 & stunned by 2nd attempt since i studied so much once more: 177/73. i've never failed anything until now (can barely say the word 'fail') & i'm just crushed & heartbroken & lost & angry & wish to walk away from all this. but something is pleading with me to attempt just once more. any suggestions on how to study please? & overcome what i'm feeling please? thank you so very much! with best wishes. bye.

:cry: Hi julia, I'm in kind of the same situation, i took the exam in dec 2003 and just missed passing also. I was so upset, but the only thing we can do is just be strong and try again. the important thing is not to give up. I had studied for 3 months straight, even scored well on practice exams, but I guess it just wasn't my luck, but i'm not giving up, and u shouldn't either.

Julia72 Probable i am wrong, but try only questions, A lot of them the much you can, that may help , I have no experience like you taking the test , but don't give up, next time you will make it.

joulia: Go only for first aid and questions (q bank ,q book ) and pathology book. limit your information , review first aid for 5 times very very well, do q again and again , study pathology book too . you will have above 85

Back in High school, one of my teachers advised me this after I failed an exam. " Start all over as if you were taking the exam for the first time. Don't think that because you went through a material one time , you know it." Sure enough, it worked well for me. I admire your courage for posting. Baby steps can bring you far. <:wahtch_where_you_go:> Please don't give up.

I am in the same boat and I just found out i passed it and this was after several attempts like you. Just do not give up and try again. You are almost there and you know you have the knowledge .
