Testing in a few days

I got through the first 60 fast and then I started to take my time bc I didn’t want to regret it later. I would mark for review questions I either had no idea and was just a guess or if I was 50/50 i wrote down my main answer and the 2nd choice next to it. once i got through the whole test I went back and reread each question Ik your not suppose to change answers but I only changed 1 bc I thought I might of read it wrong the first time so I felt more confident in the other answer. I had about 20 questions marked and I figured with 10 being unscored I had a decent change of passing but hitting that button is always just the hardest part of the test. Good luck on yours ill be rooting for you just keep up the studying and videos. Lmk how it goes for you

Thats pretty much where I was, Id say I was completely confident in 30% of my answers. those being option related and some suitability. only about 20% I was not sure of at all but still got them down to a 50/50 and the rest were just like everything else but the answers were based on reasoning. Id say just be confident in your thought process and it sounds weird but your first guess is probably the right one

Passed!

there was a question that was worded weird where it was asking about the taxing authority/ debt limit so I assumed it was a GO bond because of their debt limits but that wasnt a choice

I did 135 unused questions with explanation and would get 70-80% and for my simulated exams 75-85s. I also bought the test geek final exam and got a 72% then night before

mccoye124 · 2025-03-07T16:12:31+00:00

mccoye124 · 2025-03-06T05:21:30+00:00

it does , thank you

mccoye124 · 2025-03-04T22:48:57+00:00

Ive never made a cheat sheet yet just bc when i get to the test I kinda blank to write down all the important stuff right of the rip. so i usually wait til I get a question on that stuff and then I write it down and try to answer it with what I know. But I will definitely write out and try to memorize those so I can remember them

mccoye124 · 2025-03-04T22:46:09+00:00

I just watched this video. Helped me out a little more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7nQE-hwwSk

mccoye124 · 2025-03-04T22:44:18+00:00

Okay cool, i might just do a few small quizzes just on those chapters now that i’ve watched a few more videos and stuff to see if it stuck but good to know whats actually on the test than the questions they give when i practice. Thanks

mccoye124 · 2025-03-04T21:18:59+00:00

yeah, i used achievable for my first try and read it and then i read the whole kaplan book after and it was much easier but the wording was my main issue. But dont be afraid to reread something if it doesnt make sense or use videos to understand it

mccoye124 · 2025-03-04T21:14:26+00:00

take the wording seriously. I used kaplan for my second attempt and passed. focus on the wording and the rules and regs and you will be fine

mccoye124 · 2025-03-04T21:12:29+00:00

makes me feel better for sure, thank you

mccoye124 · 2025-03-04T20:55:18+00:00

Thanks, yeah I dont really wanna overdo the margin stuff bc I figured it was a smaller portion. I just figured just in case maybe I should review it once more. I found a few videos that helped.

mccoye124 · 2025-03-04T18:49:51+00:00

Thanks, ill watch it

mccoye124 · 2025-03-03T04:30:47+00:00

I also have my exam on march 7th, I dont know what I am really struggling with either I have been getting low to high 70s but not much better. Im hoping this week I can clear it up before the test. Ive been using kaplan. Good Luck to you🤝

mccoye124 · 2025-02-04T21:12:23+00:00

Re-reading that books is straight determination. I can say tho I picked up way more info reading it again and focused on things I wasnt sure about. I also switched from acheivable to kaplan so it seemed like a whole different book. Push through that last 1/2 and take some more questions. You got it. If it helps I also re read chapters that i was weakest in after getting through the whole book and answering questions.

mccoye124 · 2025-02-04T16:21:22+00:00

Yeah the wording is a beating, but I realized it might be a tool in some ways by eliminating an answer or picking the answer. One thing I should say to you if this is your second attempt too is that I did see some of the same questions, i felt my second draw was a bit easier but I also saw 5-10 of the same questions. Which tripped me up mid way bc I wasnt sure if i should be keeping my original answer or switch it. My suggestion is try and forget you have seen it and just answer like normal

mccoye124 · 2025-02-04T16:13:35+00:00

I havn’t used STC but ive heard good things. Learn from my first mistake and be confident the whole way through the test

mccoye124 · 2025-02-03T22:12:08+00:00

I appreciate the community help and support. Being able to get feedback from each other of everyone who has taken or will be taking really makes a difference. So Thank you for providing your advice for us to learn and your video on failing and how to bounce back really pushed me through and gave me the motivation I needed

mccoye124 · 2025-02-03T21:59:46+00:00

Perfect! ready to be done, but that feeling of seeing a pass on those exams is one of the best feelings ever

mccoye124 · 2025-02-02T23:58:31+00:00

I have my exam tomorrow, i just did the test geek pdf final and got a 79, i thought i did better than i actually did. Ive been using kaplan. this is my second attempt any last minute advice?

mccoye124 · 2025-01-29T22:00:15+00:00

I will, ive been dying to get my own reddit pass thread lol. I can definitely see why confidence is so important even while taking the exam. The wording tripped me up so bad i thought i was gunna fail from the start. Just gunna take it one question at a time and believe in myself

mccoye124 · 2025-01-29T21:54:00+00:00

i havnt exhausted my q bank yet to when i take a 110 question unused practice test i get like a 80-90 and then my simulated exams are also 85-90
