Passed by my matrix looks savage. 40/60/70 rule brings me in at 59%… squeaky bum time!!

Happy and relieved. As mentioned, I passed with 2 boxes, but heck it was close. Band 11, I wanna call it. I fugged up AM and was lucky enough to make up for it during the PM session. Godness me, I am a slow learner so I am quite glad that I passed it the first time around.

And…nothing beats the Preview function of Gmail, that gives you the: Dear XYZ, Congr snapshot and the Congr becomes a loud ROAAARRRR.

Passed! AM was mediocre but PM was solid

Band 9:

Passed. 2 boxes. I absolutely killed PM with all but one topic over 70%. AM I got no topic over 70% lol…

Hey man, I was in a similar situation last year. I had some serious family medical issues that, thankfully, are now all resolved, but failed band 8 (it definitely put things into perspective, though). You’ll get through it. Best of luck next year!
