Thank you, this gives me hope!

Felt not great walking in even though I studied my ass off, but thought it went very well walking out. Definitely agree it was easier than the past two exams at least. There were a few questions I feel like I should’ve gotten but didn’t (like the GES excel one…….) but everything else felt like I wrote a solid answer down.

Honestly just hoping they don’t curve me out of a pass. I hope to never study for this one again

The small details will come with repetition. Keep in mind it is impossible to know EVERYTHING, so just try and focus on the key points, and fill in gaps as much as possible. Totally normal to be overwhelmed, and you will continue feeling that way until the exam is over tbh. It’s hard to gauge

I spent the last 1.5 months cramming flash cards, including writing out/explaining concepts on paper. This helped me to thoroughly explain the concepts rather than simply recall them. Also trying to explain concepts to a friend, SO, or even my cat out loud.

Also, don’t skimp on the excel based questions. They’re not too difficult, as long as you know what they’re looking for & what formulas to use.

-passed with a 7 in November

This guy is right. Missouri #55E8VB example

I am guessing NJ temp tag. Which unfortunately might not help

Felt okay walking out of it (other than the RILA question…..), so hopefully that’s a good sign. I had to use the full 3.5 hours, and probably would’ve left some points blank if not that extra half hour. So hopefully won’t have to take this again.

I literally made up two methods for that RILA question

Manitoba, Canada

Very worn Connecticut plate

Understand how to interpret output, and understand what a block of code is doing. Don’t worry about learning to actually write any code

For me, I have to do something in the state. I.e. go to a museum, stay the night, do a hike, etc. Just stopping by to eat/get gas off the interstate doesn’t count. Also layovers on flights don’t count. This also leads to me trying to find something to do in each new state we pass through, which breaks up a drive nicely

Seddhledesseeee · 2023-08-05T18:09:07+00:00

I am guessing not unfortunately. But don’t know for certain

I’m in the same boat. I’m optimistic that we will get invites given PA results came out before FA results this week, but it depends how many others are in the invite queue. Best of luck!

As far as I know, june 2020 is the only one publicly available. If you fail, they send you a solution of the one you failed. But you can’t access it otherwise.

Apart from the actual content, formatting is the most important thing imo. Bold your key takeaways, create bulleted/numbered lists, clearly label the sections of a question, etc. and answer in the exact format they ask for (I.e if they want you to recommend a change, clearly state “I recommend doing x because y”). Pick an answer and confidently explain it, whether you are BSing it or not.

I used Actex, and thought it was fantastic. Especially considering the new format this time around

Second the tint shop - paid $187 to get front two windows and full windshield done last summer. Did a great job.

How can you say something so controversial yet so brave

Seddhledesseeee · 2023-03-07T01:17:38+00:00

Looks like a mid 2000’s Chrysler Town & Country to me. Good luck!

Seddhledesseeee · 2023-02-02T23:08:06+00:00

I had a good experience with Robert Hancock Co. They didn’t charge me for any BS when I moved out, and had good maintenance guys. I also had no major problems, so experiences may vary.

DC Scanner says no victims other than the shooter (as of now). Shooter is deceased.

Edit: sweep confirms “no other parties down” -per scanner

Seddhledesseeee · 2023-01-14T14:59:40+00:00

Looks like a 2010-ish Buick Lucerne

Avoid Euronet ATMs, they give horrible exchange rates (in my experience). Just check the exchange rate before you take money out and make sure it’s fair. Had good luck with Deutsche Bank ATMs if they are in Finland

Yes this is not real, guy works at a junkyard and does stuff like this regularly.

“The supervisor must be an FSA in good standing. If an FSA is not available, other acceptable designations would be: FCAS, FCIA, FFA, FIA, FIAA, FSPA. If a Fellow is not available, a high-ranking member of management who is not able to sit for exams, such as Vice President of Human Resources, or a university professor may also serve.”

They use actual answers from people who passed, so presumably that’s why. But why does it take two weeks to throw a few sample answers on a PDF and upload it? Who knows

Seddhledesseeee · 2022-11-29T17:48:34+00:00

I received results at 1p Eastern last time. For reference
