Basically i am challenging 2 years worth of training, hours and testing by cramming everything in at once and then taking a rediculously hard test. The exam that I took and then recently got my marks back on (after an Excruciating 3 week wait) had a 90% failure rate…yeeaaaaaah. thats a 10% pass rate….that means that only, on average, 10 out of every 100 times the test is taken, is it passed.
I was pretty shaky on how i felt about it…pretty shaky. I worked So hard..i have been studying cue cards and taking practice tests and memorizing definitions and math equations since the beginning of January. I got into the exam and i was like “oh crap”. The test was SO hard, the questions were SO confusing, and there were math questions with equations that i had Never even heard of before..and i have memorized Tons of equations.
I phoned the guy up in Ottowa…he checked his computer, and told me “Mr. Barkey, you have successfully passed all three parts of the Written Examination, congratulations”
I couldnt believe it, i was so overwhelmed and relieved and surprised that it quickly became a moment that i wont forget, characterized by a sweeping blanket of intense emotions. I was so released from stress that it just flooded out of me in waves of excitement! I have worked so hard, and been blessed by so much prayer support that i am just extremely grateful to have this part of the certification process behind me and now i prepare for the last step, the Practical Exam.
It is a 2 days exam and I get three attempts at the Practical Exam. Since i have no material to study, i am planning on going into the first exam with the mindset of learning as much as i can in the first go around…and hopefully passing as many of the 7 parts as possible. Im pretty nervous about it. the exam is mid august..and because they are SO backed up, i cant rewrite until the end of October…STRESScase!
