Well, I had the test last week, and I ended up not making it. The test is no joke, that’s for sure.

Admittedly I was pretty mad at myself initially, but then I took a step back and started to consider things from a fresh perspective.

Doing this sort of thing is not easy, it may very well be the hardest thing I’ve tried to do. Why would I expect any test on it to be no less difficult? I also decided that this test wasn’t necessarily a test of seeing if I learned anything, because I absolutely have, but how much I have learned. It seems an odd distinction, but to me, it just means I need to learn more and practice harder.

So, even though I didn’t pass, I’m even more determined to continue to improve and pass this certification.
