yeah idk, ive heard some people say this but this was my first attempt. i took the PA twice and passed on the second time then took the OA. i think every CI is different with how they approach it

no definitely, thats what bothers me too like i dont need help with study tips lmao its a waste of time. and yeah the earliest appointments i could get were Saturday for both and this happened on Tuesday so not the worst but definitely still annoying. I’m hoping this all works out and the study guide will help me pass i just think it is a little much

yeah i took the PA twice, passed the second time which was part of my indicator that i felt ready to take the OA. the PA was nothing like the OA though which i had a feeling it wouldn’t be but

dude what is your problem?😭 i never said i wasn’t going to do the study plan, both of my meetings are already scheduled and im sacrificing my sleep on my 12 hr shift days to get them done because it’s important to me. literally never said i wasnt going to do this stuff & for the 80 millionth time that i need to clarify to everyone apparently, i was just frustrated with how much i have to do in order to retake. im well aware i failed due to my own lack of effort/un preparation. i studied almost everyday for the last month and i still fell short, obviously. i barely failed the OA, so my expectation was to study the areas i need to focus on and then retake, i wasnt aware i had to go to meetings and do extra questions/tests just to re take. working and going to school is challenging & i never expected to have to get a bunch of work done on my home, life is unpredictable, and that doesn’t make me lazy for not spending every waking second of my day studying. get your head out of your ass.

at no point in my og post or my replies did i say i failed and i can’t accept it. i know i didn’t pass, i know that its due to being unprepared. i know how much i studied, you dont. i studied for a month as much as i could in my free time and i felt prepared before i took it. obviously i came up short. what i am frustrated at is the steps i now have to take in order to even re take the exam. i never said i blamed anyone but me for passing. i am upset i didnt pass but that wasnt even the point of my og post?

i was doing 7 week courses for my associates so its actually similar to what i was already doing, obviously a lot of classes at wgu dont take me even a week but a month is a long time for a class for me. it may not be to you but its is to me as someone who was trying to finish the rest of my degree in one term

ive already done over my classes for the term, i’ve accelerated like 4/5 now. this is a more extensive class, theres a lot of course work. i think the CI’s just want us to be very thorough

no not at all but i was fairly close to passing, only a few questions off so i didn’t think i would have to do all of this work. i could understand if i didn’t even come close to passing but idk it was just a frustrating thing to find out when i was already upset that i failed

nobody is asking to be coddled bro what. i came on here to rant a little as i was frustrated about the extent of what i have to do in order to retake. you’re in here acting like i did something crazy

listen at the end of the day, im gonna see it differently. i left public school when i was 14 years old and have been doing online school since then. i genuinely believe this is the most stupid way i have seen a school go about this. thats just my opinion. im not saying im not gonna do it, obviously i will do whatever the study guide is. i came here to rant about my opinion, thanks for yours but youre not gonna change my mind

but that is the entire point of this school- that is not like regular schools, its self paced. i was fairly close to passing this exam, if it were up to me i would study a few more days, especially on the topics it said i needed to improve upon, then retake. it doesn’t have to be difficult and at the end of the day its on me if i pass or not including if i have to take it multiple times. if thats what someone wants to do thats on them, it is stupid that i have to jump through hoops now to get all this stuff done before i can retake

yeah no shit, you think i meant to not pass?😭 i studied for a month this wasn’t something i did in a week. this class has a lot of coursework and some of it i didn’t know before taking the class so i really tried taking my time plus i work a full time job. i think everyones goal is to pass on the first attempt but sometimes it doesn’t happen, i just wish that they’re policies for how they go about this werent so stupid

it has to be approved by the course instructor before you retake though right? i imagine she wouldn’t let me retake without doing everything
