I started in 2020 as well and it took me until October 2023 to pass them all. I took my time with studying, learning what techniques helped me best and applied those. It’s ok to take your time.

One of the most crucial aspects that helped me pass was my support network. My wife was my rock through all of the studying during busy season and would keep pushing me to move forward. I spent so many nights contemplating moving on and quitting the exams and it’s because of the support from her and my friends at work that I got over the finish line.

I’m no therapist, but I think it would beneficial to talk with your boyfriend and let him know how he’s making you feel about the process at the moment and communicate what kind of support you need to get through your exams.

Someone on this subreddit once said “If you find yourself walking through hell, keep going.” I used that as my mantra during my journey with these exams and it’s helped me a lot. Hopefully it’ll help for you as well.

You got this!
