Hi Chet,

Congratulations on your pass!

I agree that this was a very easy exam.

But why didn't you study at all Chet? "Lucky" is the right word for it...and you know it!


A 50 is right on the borderline between passing and failing. You could just as easily be reporting right now that you got a 48 and failed by one point.

Of course, I am thrilled that you passed it. But geez! A 50 is cutting it fine.

I urge you to study for EVERY exam. Even if it is simply a matter of going over the Instantcert material once or twice the night before.

I just want to encourage you not to take any exam for granted. If you do, you are playing with fire, and it is only a matter of time before you disappointedly report a score that is one point BELOW the pass mark instead of one point above it. Nobody likes that feeling! You got lucky this time.

You owe it to yourself to ensure that you never fail one of these exams. Studying will allow you a little bit more wiggle room on your score. If you do study and still fail, at least you will know you gave it your best shot, and nobody here will fault you for that!

Congratulations again...but sheesh Chet! Don't play the Examination Lottery. It's a Fool's Game! You deserve better than that. Have more of a say in what your fate will be...study!

I wish you well and want you to pass every exam you take.
