I passed on my first attempt. It is possible, but you should not expect it.

For me, it took an insane amount of preperation to be ready for that first
attempt. I would study and practice at least 8 hours per day during the
week and at least 12 hours a day on the weekend. This continued for 9
months straight. My work and family were on hold. Even though I knew there
was so much more to learn, I felt I could not study any longer and scheduled
my lab. The rest is history.

Good luck to you. Keep a clear head and you will be ok.

Subject: Why Can't I pass the first time

I have my lab scheduled for August 23, that is, in the next 15 days. I
almost feel defeated already, even though I can not identify many technical
shortfalls with my knowledge and experience. I feel defeated because I have
been made to believe NOT to expect to pass on the first attempt. Indeed I
know many personal friends who I considered technical gurus, but had to do
the exam at least twice.

Now my question is this : Is it realistic to expect to pass on the first
attempt ? Or should I really walk in with my white towel already in the air
?

regardless, 23 August it is, San Jose.

Herbert.
