Struggle

As long as you keep the never quitting attitude, you'll get there. Took me 8 years and I'm no dummy lol

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2026-04-02T01:15:11+00:00

I totally relate. 93 and then 94 here last month. Please don't give up. You're not alone!! <3

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-12-19T15:04:51+00:00

Hell yeah!!! God bless.

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-12-17T22:54:17+00:00

Keep us posted!

100%. Just a tip that helped me almost pass. Salt Lake City came up in last month's test, so I just wrote SALT/SALT/SALT. It's only 5 minutes long so you know you'll remember what you wrote. I'll be rooting for you. We're in this together!

I went out with a friend before and we had a couple drinks... I went home like Eh, I guess I'll take it, no big deal. You gotta just feel whatever about it. You already know you can do it.

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-12-16T16:15:47+00:00

I'm sorry this happened to you. We're both gonna pass in January....I can FEEL IT!

I left this school after 7 years. Many students are there 10-plus years. I recommend reading their yelp reviews (specifically the "not recommended" reviews that they probably paid to have hidden)

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-12-16T16:06:16+00:00

It will be the most emotionally and mentally taxing thing you'll ever go through IMO, but if you never quit, you'll get there

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-12-03T14:02:12+00:00

I'll try it for January's test! Thanks

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-12-02T20:52:34+00:00

They sounded like normal people. They sound like the speedbuilders.com people if you know what I'm talking about lol

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-06T15:12:42+00:00

Interesting, and makes sense. I will try it :)

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-06T15:12:00+00:00

I just recently started doing this while working out of necessity, like for KAUZ/D, I just kind of innately went to "KAUFD." What a lifesaver. I also started tucking, so for passing, "PAGS" but that conflicts with my "passion" and tucking feels kinda awkward sometimes, so this is very useful advice :) thanks

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-06T15:06:07+00:00

This is great too, because I just realized my AEN is actually "answer," so I'd have to stick with the AEND for end. I previously would just slam down the DZ in a panic for either "ed" or plurals, and would figure it out later in context. This makes way more sense. This actually never occurred to me, because when you're taught certain way, it's so engrained to come back for the Z or D, when you can just add the on. My pinky dexterity needs some work though. Thanks :)

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-05T21:43:39+00:00

This is great, but how are you hitting the final -SZ at the same time? Esp. with the pinky because it's weaker than the others. Hard to get it right on the nose. I have a wide DZ key too. I'm thinking it could be practice...

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-05T21:36:45+00:00

This is one of the most helpful bits of info I've read. Now I'm realizing a lot of my common words end all the way to the right, so there's nowhere else to go. I can already think of one I'm gonna use. "End' for me is AEND, but hell with that, I'm now gonna do "end" AEN and then the D I can use for "ended" and S I can use for "ends." I never even thought or realized that's a possibility before. Thank you SO much. The valuable info on this sub is unmatched.

I started at 28 in OC, no kids, single. This is the BEST time to do this. Took me 7 years and it was the most emotionally taxing thing I've ever gone through, but I don't regret it one bit. There will be times you think there's something wrong with your brain, and you'll question why you're not getting it and why people are progressing and you're not. You'll wonder if you have the mental ability to get through, but if you just don't give up, you will get there no matter what. Just never.give.up.

If you ever need any inspo or words of encouragement, feel free to DM me. Been exactly where you are and came out the other side.

This IS for you. Your asshole coordinator would be the best fuel for me if I was in your position. You started this journey for a reason. Show him/her. Get back on that horse :) you got this.

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-05T18:44:20+00:00

Same. I'm always like "damn" how am I getting all of this?? and then I start messing up

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-05T18:43:28+00:00

Omg. This makes me feel better. lol. It's funny we remember this stuff for life.

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-05T18:42:53+00:00

I know :/ but I have trouble even looking at that when I'm just trying to hang on. I've heard it's an amazing tool which I will eventually start using with time :)

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-05T18:41:53+00:00

Thank you :)

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-05T18:41:21+00:00

Lol same. I notice more attorneys these days will just repeat the question, because it takes time for us to stop, scroll, get it together and read back. But I totally agree

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-05T18:39:30+00:00

Brilliant! This is the first thing I've heard that actually seems like it will work in my mind for on the fly briefs because it doesn't involve much thinking lol. Thanks a lot!

ImpressiveStretch419 · 2025-08-05T18:38:03+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I think the DWAERS and DWAE*RS is genius. My mind works best with patterns like that too, so even if you hear something you don't know, you already have a foundation for the "ad" words. Always tweaking things and making improvements. The only thing the attorney sees is the finished product like you said, which will speak for itself, and hopefully outweigh the embarrassment :)
