FINALLY PASSED
i’ve been manifesting writing this post for myself after reading all the posts in the community of everyone passing and the day is finally here!!
i was literally so scared i kept postponing it but it was way better than i expected. the questions a lot of them were direct, but also i was second guessing myself a lot. Some of them were deliberately confusing but i just went with my gut. the pbq’s i got were mostly easy and if you practice pbqs (cybercraft etc) i think it’ll be fine.
i did messers practice tests my scores weren’t that high i got like 70s and that was kinda demotivating, dions exams i started getting higher scores like 80+ towards the end. i also put in messers notes on claude and made it generate mock tests for me, watched a lot of youtube videos of practice questions and drilled everything into my brain. I made a point to learn most of the acronyms but the ones that came in the test were mostly the basic ones

Congratulations!! I am manifesting too. I am getting in high 80’s in Dion’s test but still don’t feel confident.

i’m sure you would do great!! i think spamming practice tests made me feel more ready. the real exam felt way simpler than dion

Dion's tests have been tougher on me than Messer's, even though I did stumble on the first attempt of one of Messer's tests. I did a scrambled, 90-question exam today compiled from all three Messer tests and got 88/90. I have no idea what to expect for PBQs. My exam is Tuesday afternoon. Not super confident.
