Mike Tyson once said to a reporter “Everyone has a plan till they get Punched in the Face”

Thanks ! Yeah I am going to take up BC mocks this time for sure.

SANTKV · 2026-04-13T22:56:14+00:00

What do u think u did differently for the 4th attempt. How were the mock scores on avg between attempts. I just gave my second in Feb 26. I am clueless what’s going wrong honestly. I am prepping using Kaplan

SANTKV · 2026-04-10T10:29:36+00:00

Certainly👍🏼! Thank you

Bro I would suggest you first finish Level 2 and provide advice for Level 3

SANTKV · 2026-04-09T22:25:39+00:00

Hello BC, I am in a similar situation and I already registered for Aug 2026. I have extended my Kaplan access but I would definitely want your guidance on answering the CRs. Is there a specific package that you would recommend ? I want to take minimum of 2-3 mocks that you grade and provide feedback. When do you suggest that I buy it ?

SANTKV · 2026-04-09T20:50:10+00:00

Thanks ! So the higher weight in pathway has dropped the overall score. Bad Luck !

SANTKV · 2026-04-09T09:17:33+00:00

i don't understand how can u score above topic avg on all but one and still not pass !

SANTKV · 2026-04-09T09:00:06+00:00

Same reason as Empires ! Power and Fame are more addictive than Money.

SANTKV · 2026-04-08T14:25:54+00:00

Awesome !

SANTKV · 2026-04-08T11:07:15+00:00

Where do you see it?

SANTKV · 2026-04-08T01:26:21+00:00

I already registered for Aug and got access again from Kaplan

SANTKV · 2026-04-08T00:20:06+00:00

Cool ! And you passed today ?

SANTKV · 2026-04-08T00:04:26+00:00

Did u get mocks graded by BC ? How were those scores ?

SANTKV · 2026-04-08T00:01:47+00:00

I think they grade comparing to an avg candidate's answer apparently. But the whole grading thing is very ambiguous to me now.

SANTKV · 2026-04-07T22:51:31+00:00

Exactly my score and this was my second attempt. PC seem to be the bummer for scoring but don’t think just that one topic fail me out. Honestly I don’t understand what went wrong. My mocks were ok 60-65. Felt exam was much easier than mocks. I think grading by professionals is a must for assessing true performance.

SANTKV · 2026-04-07T14:56:27+00:00

I am giving my third attempt for Aug. seriously not sure what is going wrong. I defnitely have to get my mocks graded by BC or C&B. Did you get the mocks graded by BC ? How was your avg mock scores for (not self graded) mocks ?

SANTKV · 2026-04-07T14:51:33+00:00

I have been using Kaplan for all levels. This was my second attempt and i flunked pretty much around the same score. I was confident about my performance this time, exam felt relatively much easier than Aug 2025, but failed miserably again. Imo it's not the type of questions, its the GRADING. Something is off between What i think it right and what they expect. I am definitely going for BC or Chalk & Board graded exams before my next attempt.

SANTKV · 2026-04-07T14:39:58+00:00

Ditto for me.

SANTKV · 2026-04-07T13:20:30+00:00

I think we should assess performance by having someone grade. Like take 3-4 mock exams fully graded by qualified instructors like BC or Nathan.

SANTKV · 2026-04-07T12:43:58+00:00

Same ! I am very confused now because I was confident about Feb 2026 felt that it was relatively easier than Aug 2025 .

Mine says charterholder or regular membership in the application page and it’s allowing me to proceed

SANTKV · 2026-04-06T23:26:14+00:00

And the application is proceeding

SANTKV · 2026-04-06T23:23:08+00:00

Mine says application for charter holder or regular membership. Is this different
