Leaverus, you're not alone man...
Not to ride on your coattails or looking for sympathy, but I too failed the test. Like you, i thought the exam was fair and tough. BUT, i thought I would squeak by and pass this damn thing. The first day i was in a daze and the next day it really hit me. I am devastated and feeling quite down. I HATE the ABA. Not because i don't believe in these exams and all, but I really don't want to wait a year to take this test again. They really need to change that rule. But that is another debate.
I took the Ho course, and tried to do a case almost every night. The course was ok, it was more of a reality check and what to expect. In the end, it's all about practice. For now, i'm just reliving that day in atlanta on what went wrong. It wasn't perfect, but i felt i had a chance.
Oh well, what is done is done, and i can't change the outcome of that day. Another year of putting your life goals on hold...
Cambie and Leaverus, I will be PM'ing you soon. Would def like to get your perspectives. congrats all, pour some liquor out for the fallen.
