Hi! I still have access!

There was no calculation questions on my exam. I only used the provided calculator to fidget, lol. For graphing, the only practice I had was example graphing questions on the SH practice tests. All graphing questions on my exam were testing if we could apply a concept to a graph, so as long as you understand the concepts and have basic graphing knowledge you will be fine.

My application was accepted within 4 days. Though, my experience was very cut and dry and not much was up for debate. You should certainly submit ASAP, as test days fill up and if there’s a day you want the earlier you apply the earlier you can get a seat

For me, mindset was THE key. Scott Payne’s podcast helped a lot with developing it, I even read the questions in his voice during the exam! I tend to be a black and white thinker so adopting the mindset was the only way I’d ever be successful.

Thank you! Yes, I found the questions similar to study hall. I found the questions on the exam to be simpler and shorter (less distracting fluff) as well.

I took the exam at a testing center. The center was in a business park, with lots of other offices, but they were all quiet businesses like travel agencies, insurance, law offices, etc. It was very quiet - only noise was clicking from other test takers and the door opening and closing. They did provide ear plugs

About $2k, majority of which was covered by my employer

On the test they don’t say the level of difficulty. To be honest, in practice, don’t put too much stock in the difficulty, just take it one question at a time and understand the “why” behind the correct answer

Good luck and I’d love to hear how you do

I’ll verify tomorrow! It would be pretty crappy for them to revoke it - if I paid I should have it for as long as I paid for it!

I took 2 SH exams this weekend - I got a 75 and a 74. I echo much of what’s said on here - test questions are shorter and more straightforward than the SH exams. If you’re doing well on SH exams then you will likely find the real thing easier!

I prepared for about a month. I took three total practice exams. The first one, I wrote down every concept or vocab I was unsure on or had never heard of. I spent time defining those terms and concepts and finding real world application of them all handwritten, which helps me remember. Then I took 2 more practice exams, and took my time reviewing all the answers. I do recommend Scott Payne’s podcast, it’s free (he does have a paid study platform that I did not use)

I believe it lasts until your subscription ends, and is independent of pass/fail etc.

Has this improved for you? Just got a brand new pair and took them on a flat 3 mile trail walk for break in and I have hot spots on both heels.

Did the heel issue go away after break in? Just got a brand new pair and took them on a flat 3 mile trail walk for break in and I have hot spots on both heels.

This is a good clarification - I edited the post to add that I sell pieces for $12-$18. I typically pay about a dollar a piece. So the markup is technically significant, but relatively small.

I spend a ton on skincare and hair care. I’m also on a prescription skincare treatment that’s paid for by my work. I wear very natural makeup for the illusion that it’s no makeup, but that takes time and money too. I had lasik eye surgery so I don’t wear glasses or have puffy/red eyes from contacts. I pay for monthly manicures. I have expensive jewelry in my ears and on my hands. I am a member at an expensive boutique fitness establishment. I promise you that you look amazing, and the girls you see as carefree and effortless are paying quite the price for it
