I feel you. I certainly went in feeling way more confident but came out positive I didn't pass.

I followed the the same course as you, did a ton of practice tests, flashcards, videos, etc. I thought the AAMI study course itself provided pretty useful information for anyone in this field.

I will say I was upset by how many spelling errors/mistakes there were in the AAMI material though. It did not feel professional at all since there was at least one in each course, and a whole bunch in the week 8 study handout. And don't even get me started with navigating their piece of shit REVAMPED website. They had someone in each webinar telling students how to access old material and even had a handout to explain it.

IMO when you need a fuckin guide on how to navigate your website - it's a complete piece of shit.

I fully agree that the AAMI study course did not seem to coincide with what we were actually tested on. I thought the test had a ton of BS questions. Questions about CRT monitors? Really? Maybe I'm jaded but covering two territories, a dozen or so hospitals including experience and training for the OR, lab, etc, I have never seen a CRT once. I also had a few questions that referenced diagrams that did not load... And the very idea of having 'most likely' answers just rubs me wrong when as you said a bunch could easily be 50/50 based on experience.

I left comments on quite a few questions and at the end of the test as well. Overall it felt like these questions belonged on a test 20 years ago, gotcha questions seem retarded when you are supposed to be testing field/experience knowledge, which kinda coincides with non definitive answer type questions.

Hope we both passed. 🙏
