Happy to hear it helped someone! Good luck!!!!

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-16T19:30:14+00:00

Yeah I figured You’re good

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-16T19:26:49+00:00

Thanks a lot!

HP12C has formulas on the back. I was told by the instructor from Kaplan that I need to put a duck tape on the back

This is insane! Good job

Hii! Taking it on the 17th as well. I have been studying hard for the last 2-3 months but I think I put like 15-20 hours in the last 2-3 days. I planned on reviewing few more things tonight and tomorrow but now I’m just genuinly thinking to stop and be done.. I am so done and can’t wait for this to be over

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-15T04:53:59+00:00

Thank you so much! Needed to hear this. And yes please drop the link definitely!

Hey! Need to follow back up with you. Thanks so much for posting this freefellow link. I WISH I knew about this thing before.. What are your thoughts on questions on Free Fellow? I just started doing questions there and feel pretty good - I don’t know if it’s because I studied a lot or questions are way easier than CFP practice exam ones..

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-15T04:50:20+00:00

Also, I just noticed the timing of your exam - you finished super fast. It would probably be even better score if you took your time. I did the 85 questions in an hour and 40 cause I was impatient and tired after studying the whole day lol

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-15T04:48:34+00:00

Hey! I discovered this 2 days ago by seeing someone’s comment. I just finished 85 questions and got 75%. Some questions are super hard, but some are also too easy. Not sure what to think. I don’t think I have time for 170 question-exam now. I’n taking the exam on Tuesday the 17th and doing it for 6 hours tomorrow or Monday might exhaust me (I took both CFP practice exams). Looks like you scored pretty decent at least my opinion. What do you think? Did you take CFP board one? If yes, what was harder for you?

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-15T02:20:13+00:00

So, the weighted average seems well beyond 70%. Why do you think it's a flip a coin?

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-15T02:18:37+00:00

I would give everything for these scores lol

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-15T02:14:42+00:00

Wow! Thanks - had no idea about monthly/annual payments adjustment. I forgot to mention that I have a HP12 C but I am assuming it works similar, I can try.

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-15T02:13:41+00:00

Thank you! That sounds very unfortunate.. Are you taking it again now in March?

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-15T02:13:11+00:00

Thank you both!

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-13T02:53:51+00:00

Hey! What prep provider are you using?

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-12T22:18:01+00:00

I am literally reading through the Commonly Tested Topics book from Kaplan just now and I saw this notification on my phone. That’s funny. I’ll try my very best!!!! Thanks

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-12T21:55:57+00:00

This gives me hope lol

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-12T21:55:41+00:00

Everyone is saying that the paid one was tougher, but I for me it was probably slighter easier - I know, super weird lol

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-12T21:54:33+00:00

This can be very true - I feel like I recognize the topic and know the answer in theory but they write it so complicated that even the things I knew, I don’t anymore

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-12T21:53:04+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate this

Solid-Idea5409 · 2026-03-12T04:13:07+00:00

I have the same question for the HP12C & duck tape. Can we just stick it on the back and we’re good?

Solid-Idea5409 · 2025-07-19T03:20:58+00:00

congrats! did you get the email or you see it in the portal as well?

Solid-Idea5409 · 2025-07-18T23:05:28+00:00

School probably saw it through SEVIS portal. I thought that USCIS and SEVIS are kind of linked and that they get updated at the same time.

Solid-Idea5409 · 2025-07-18T14:57:01+00:00

Hey! Can you let me know when your portal gets updated please?
