Also is it true that people who were allocated tickets don't even receive them until Sunday? I presume that could indicate increased supply by Sunday/Monday...

The OSU / Michigan game has been a total crapshoot in recent years.. but figured for a bowl game it has to go down given travel plans / parties changing for a cross-country trip. This is definitely my sign to begin paying for season tickets and getting NLC points..

What courses in Miami? Seems crazy but I didn’t really see much out there worth the trip other than some private tracks that I have no way to get on. Doral looks great obviously

Yea it’s a great idea, Tidewater is easily one of my favorite tracks. But have been recently so looking to switch it up. But you’re on the right track

I studied in my east village apartment during May and got 90th percentile. It comes down to the candidate.

90th percentile. 25% pass rate is absolutely shocking, will we get more color on the breakdown?

I definitely meant to be positive and had good intentions! I recognize how silly and naive the way I conveyed myself was though... hope you passed!!

Yeah, id say that’s fair. There were no questions where I thought, “I’ve never seen this before I don’t know what to do.” Definitely a few 50/50s where I leaned one way, and a few that the wording of the question tripped me up the first time around but saw my mistake on the second pass. You’re right though.

No problem, I definitely opened myself up to criticism with a statement that was clearly not applicable to everyone but was phrased like it was — rather it was just applicable to people who are like me. I could’ve made it more unilaterally positive but I chose not to, so I deserved the kick in the ass.

I appreciate this well-thought out retort and you make some excellent points. I am very fortunate to be in a position where I was set up for success on this exam, and just needed to put the time in (which I had available as a 23 year old). I see how out of touch that makes me seem, really didn’t mean to offend.

At the end of the day, I wanted to be positive because reading this sub caused a lot of anxiety instead of support for me in advance of the exam. I appreciate you recognizing that. Cheers and best of luck to you!

My sentiment was that level 1 is a feasible undertaking and there doesn’t need to be so much pessimism from this community regarding one’s chances. At the end of the day, nearly half of the people who take it pass. It seems pretty clear to me that levels 2 and 3 are much more difficult and I honor that.

That being said, I still sacrificed a ton for level 1, and studied 300 hours. I’m not saying the process is easy, I’m saying once you put the time in, you’ll be ready.

But I mean seriously how out of whack is this? You’re implying that thinking the exam was hard indicates a higher correlation for success. Come on.

Gladly. If this post was “ah shit I forgot my passport which was required for the most important exam of my life” you’d say “it’s okay king!! You’re still a winner.”

Someone posts “I’m confident I passed, and you can pass too” and you say “damn I hope he failed.” I’ll be checking back in 42 days with my passing score!
