My Test Results Came Today *Update Pg 2*

[Princess_Aurora]

I missed 22 on the Lit part and 120 on the Q&A Since I didn't
pass the Q&A they didn't grade the Jury Charge part. I missed more than double the amount I'm allowed to miss on the Q&A

Now I have to go back to Austin in July and try again. In all the
time that I've been in school I never once considered what I would do if I failed the test. I KNEW I would pass it the first time.
The State of Texas had other plans for me though. They gave the
hardest test they could find. Rumor has it that it's all because of
the mask writers (Mask writers use voice recognition software in
combination with a "mask" with a microphone in it. So they don't
actually have to write anything, they just repeat what is being said into the mask. So obviously, since they don't really have to have speed, the test is going to be easier for them.) On the January test one of the mask writers wrote on their comment card, "The test was way too easy. You need to make it harder." See, this is why I think the mask writers should have a seperate test. I mean, they get different certifications (their certificates will say "Certified Mask Reporter") so they should have a different test.

Okay, my vent is over. I'm just really upset that I failed. I
figured I didn't pass when they posted the statistics earlier this
week so I tried to prepare myself for it. Still though, there was
this little part of me that still wanted to hold on to some hope. It hurts really bad

All I can do is send you some {{{HUGS}}}

 

[CourtasanSatine]

[tater bug]

Sorry to hear about your test. You'll get it next time, I just know it!

 

[Pooh93]

I am sorry. That is so frustrating. Now that you know what to expect, hopefully it will be easier when you take it in July.

 

[Saffron]

Awww, I'm sorry. I know how it feels to want something so badly only to be disappointed. Is there anything you can do before the next test to give you a little more confidence going in? I wish you all the luck in the world. What you're testing for isn't easy at all! I too think there should be two different tests.

 

[helenabear]

I'm so sorry I wish you the best of luck next time!!

 

[jamsmom]

I am so sorry! Sending you a {{{HUG}}} a PD that the next test will go better.

 

[Liz]

I'm sorry. Very disappointing for you.

 

[fklhou]

I am also sorry.

 

[Planogirl]

I'm sorry. This must feel so awful right now but it will get better.

Disnee Dad Says.....................................You'll get it next time, because you won't just sit back and wait for the next test. You'll do what you have to do to succeed because it is within you.
Failure is temporary, but success can last a mighty long time.
You'll pass in july because Disnee Dad Says so. No, don't even believe that! You'll do it because you can. And you will.

 

[C.Ann]

Remember how many times John F. Kennedy Jr. failed exams???

You'll be fine - as long as you don't let it drag your confidence down.. I KNOW you can do it - and you WILL!!!!

 

[Muffy]

Hugs, sending pixie dust!

Thanks for the encouraging words guys. I just started feeling so much better I knew I could count on you guys to cheer me up.

I found out today that I'm not alone though...no one from my school passed...and we sent a record number of 15 students. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but that's during a three-month period of students having to pass five different tests. We usually only have about 5 go.

Our school is pretty mad about it to since it looks bad for them only having a 0% pass rate. They've already sent their complaints to the board. Their excuse was they were told that the January test was too easy so they though the people in the April test could handle something a little tougher. Nevermind that half the people that are there are people retaking it because they didn't pass it last time. We've been taking a lot of crap from the board this year...they have recently decided to only give us 3 certification tests a year (we usually have 4) but instead of evenly spreading them out, they're keeping the other dates the same so that means that after the October test the next test won't be until April! So if I don't pass the July test (which I shouldn't think about because I WILL pass it in July) I would have to pass the October test or else I'll have to wait until April to take it again. That means I would have to reqaulify because if you don't get your certification within a year of becoming qaulified you have to reqaulify. But I won't have to worry about it since I'M DEFINATELY PASSING in July
