Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

Yes, you'll see us talking about easy tests on the forums, but if you don't study, or don't have life experience in the topic, they're not as simple as we make it sound.

I think this is a key point. I think new people come on this forum and think these exams are a walk in the park. There are so MANY variables that determine if someone gets a good score after minimal study. When someone puts a post on here that they passed after only a few hours of study we don't know the variables that went into that particular person having success like that and it leads us to believe that somehow this is the norm. I don't believe it is the norm. We RARELY hear the flip side..... barely anyone posts on their failures and why it happened. I know burbuja posted on one test she did not pass and the reasons why. I thought that took guts and also gives a more balanced perspective on these exams. Everyone is different. I take longer to study- way longer. I might be a snail but the main thing is to finish
