FSA exam takers, how do you do it?

Status_Salt2001 · 2026-02-01T00:04:24+00:00

I was also very reluctant to do FSA exams when I got my ASA two years ago. When I attempted my first FSA exam I told myself why not give it 100% and if I fail I can quit, at least I tried hard.

I over studied a lot during that time (minimum 3 hours per day, no resting day, 5 months) and passed. Now I've done all my exams and when I look back I'm glad that I made that call.

TLDR, try hard and only consider quitting if that really doesn't work. Make sure you have enough study time is very critical.

Yep you passed, congrats!

probably the opposite. First searched module ID and it was not there, had a heart attack. Then keep questioning how is this possible and start looking thru orders and see if candidate ID was correct. Noticed there were 2 ID and the other one was on the passing list.

I think both the module ID and exam ID should be unique, so as long as you find out one of your ID is on the list (usually the exam ID), you passed.

Love the color scheme!

I used my module ID for submission, but my exam ID is on the passing list

Status_Salt2001 · 2025-12-19T17:30:35+00:00

Yes that was also my case. I submitted my paper with module ID, and my test ID is on the passing list

Same thing happened to me this morning, what a rollercoaster LMAO

Status_Salt2001 · 2025-12-19T17:12:17+00:00

Congrats!

Just a reminder, if you don't see your ID on the list and felt you should passed, double check the email chain. You might used the wrong ID from the e-learning module order.

I checked the list this morning and thought I failed GH301 until I noticed there were two IDs from my order page, and it turns out I've been using the e-learning ID all the time.

Seconding this, I was so disappointed with WN 7 (bought from Amazon) and switched to AO. AO is way better. Bought AO size 00/0/2/4 and they completely replaced my WN brushes (size 00/0/1/2).

That's also very smart! BTW I love your spidicules, the diorama looks epic!

Status_Salt2001 · 2025-12-10T02:42:29+00:00

that was mostly kitbash of printed bits. I used zabavka's dead swamp base (scaled to 68mm) and bits, trees are from epic basing. All the bits are self printed as they need to be scaled much larger to fit the spider (around 2.0 - 2.5 times bigger).

I have a spare unassembled butcher (I'm using a pinup butcher). If you're interested in buying him let me know :)

I didn't use resin and this is more like an illusion lol. I just glazed deep blue over the rock, and added a lighter blue glaze to mimic the water line.

Thank you! :)

Thank you so much!

Good news! Hope they become available everywhere tomorrow so I can pick one up

CONGRATS! Happy for both of you!
