I’m posting the matrix to show to remind candidates that it’s your OVERALL score that matters. Just by the matrix alone, I should’ve failed!!! Future candidates, remember that you can miss AT LEAST 108 points and still pass this exam. Anyway, so glad it’s over! I’ll write my studying experience soon, although I’m probably the last person who you should take advice from!!!

Passed!!! So glad to put this behind me.

So happy!!!

Even if you graduate last in your class at medical school they still have to call you doctor… Here’s my ugly matrix, which is still a beautiful PASS.

So, it was feast or famine in the afternoon and barely muscled through the morning, but the aggregate was a pass, which is all I care about.

Passed. 700 hours of study. Such a relief to be done!!!

Passed. Yoohoo!!!.

Morning wasn’t that pretty at all. But, afternoon was pretty and pulled me through. I am relieved for sure.

Thanks to the big and small contributors, many who helped us all.

After the exam I was 100% positive I aced the written part except for one derivative section. Turns out I bombed the written and aced the MC. I can’t believe it and am absolutely flabbergasted. I already faxed in my retabulation request even though I am sure it was not worth the money. I feel helpless. Did I write all of my answers in the wrong place or something?

Passed. The delay in getting results was ridiculous. Ran out of time on the AM and completed part of question 7 and very little of the last two. Did enough elsewhere to pass.

Glad I still pulled out the win even though I left the last two derivative sections in the AM completely blank. Definitely made up for it in the PM though.

Eat it, CFAI.

Pass - So glad to be done.
