Dear Mike,
I really appreciate your perseverance. Many people would have broken down
and given up by this time.
Do not lose the courage. Keep on trying. I know it is easier said than done.
I hear from many who passed recently that they repeated their attempts with
very small gap. i.e 1-2 months. This will help as their knowledge and
practice level are still fresh/intact.
As suggested by the other gentleman, arrive the city at least 2 to 3 days
before the exam.
Wish you good luck and hope to hear the success story in the very near
future.
The GS' prayers will be with you.
Take care of the NDA.
Regards,
Ananth
