ok so i just got back from RTP and failed my second attempt. i felt really
confident (as i'm sure a lot of people do) walking out of there. let me
just explain what happened and what i'm seeing.
i was finished with my first pass through on the lab by 1:00pm. I spent the
next 2 hours finishing up some of things i skipped and going back through
the lab from front to back verifying everything. by my count i should have
had somewhere in the mid 90's as far as points go. i had a couple of couple
of thing left that seemed really off the wall and i wasn't sure what they
asking for and no help from the proctors... so i hear in the back in the
head 'stop dummy', i've heard 1000 times that a lot of people are doing good
and break everything trying to get those last 2 points. so, retardely ,
write, reload everything AGAIN, and check everything again and leave at
3:00... BTW its really hard to write 'and leave at 3:00' after seeing the
score report.
so i get home and the email is there, i login and check the score report...
not good... i mean really not good. i guess i can't share the score report,
but lets say, i really feel like if i'd have had THAT much wrong with my IGP
my testing never would have worked, not to mention i went back through *
every* section....
so i guess to sum this whole thing up... would you request a reread. i mean
this isn't like 'hey i need 2 more points to pass, i'll see if i can squeak
through with a reread' this is 'WOW WTF happened', is this the typical
failure? it might sound silly but i really wonder if a peer didn't come up
on the reload or something.
anyway, let me know what you thing and feel free to reticule me for leaving
an hour early. i'm going to bed to cry myself to sleep now ;)
