Background
I received the home study course in Jan 2002. The first thing I did was phone LSC and ask for the extension on my guarantee. It took about 10 seconds, no questions asked! Since Jan 2002 I have listened to the tapes about five times (every time I listen I still find little things that help me).
I have been studying and taking courses working towards my “Certified Financial Planner” designation. The final exam is 6 hrs in length and is broken into 3 hrs in the morning (100 questions, multiple choice) followed by 3 hrs in the afternoon (about 5 case studies, 45 questions and what seemed like pages and pages of useless details about the cases). I have 6 binders each about six inches thick with text to study. The best way to describe this is by giving you a complete set of encyclopaedias and telling you to know everything in them, because I am going to ask you about 150 questions.
Method
Since Feb 2002, I have been using the system, Pring the binders over and over again, followed by studying and answering questions from my past assignments. I went to the library and took out any books that talked about taxation, investments anything that touched in any way on the subjects that I was studying. Again I would use the WMS, some I would make Mmaps, some I would Pring a couple of times and decide that I didn’t what to mmap. I would study with soft music in the background (sound of waves and birds). At lest 5 times a week I would be listening to a paraliminal tape Personal genius, Memory supercharger, Deep relaxation and Dream Play (when I went to sleep listening to this one I would wake up exhausted). I took the two weeks off before the exam, to study. I want to make sure everyone understands that not only did I Pring I also studied and did my part. The more I Pr the binders the more I studied.
The exam itself I Pr using the affirmation that I knew the answers to the questions and I asked my Internal Professor to key up the right answers to the questions.
Results
The morning exam started out real bad, I skipped the first 4 or 5 questions then closed my eyes again, put on my thinking cap and answered the next 95 questions and picked up the first ones that I skipped. It took me ……….. 1 hour to complete the exam. I spent the next 30 min wondering whither I should do the exam again. I left at 1hr & 30 min. I couldn’t tell you, after I left what the questions where except one: The only question I argued with myself over I definitely got wrong. I should have left it the way it was and trusted what I did first.
Unfortunately all we get is a “P” or an “F” and not a grade. I got a “P”—PASSED
