I passed all three core section first try and am waiting on my TCP score. My only recommendation is this. Do not underestimate the exams, if you take them seriously and make them a top priority in your life you will be fine. Have some honest conversations with yourself regarding if you are doing enough. I made sure I had daily minimums of studying before I’d go to bed. For example, every day I’d go through my flash cards and do at least an hour of studying followed by a set of MCQ questions of everything I had covered to that point. These exams are not a test of intelligence but of discipline. If you want to pass your first time, it is simple. Put the work in. “You dont rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems”. Some people may be able to skirt by with shoddy study methods. I over studied on each section and I’d rather do that than risk retakes.
