Today, after studying for hours a day for the past month, sacrificing weekends and time with my husband, I finally took the exam required for a possible promotion at work. Out of over a hundred questions, I only knew the answer to 3 of them for sure. Boy, am I glad I studied so hard. FML

YES? I was waiting for someone to say that! I'm guessing you and I are in the same boat. But who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both be second classes in a few months.

I feel like it is less about how op studied and more about what she studied. Trashing hours of her life for 3 answers sounds pretty BS from a standpoint that she didn't study hard enough.

Sometimes over studying can hurt you. Sorry to hear about that OP, hopefully you can retake it later!

This is one of the things which makes me not want to join the ADF, I suck at exams, not because I don't know the material but because exam settings are not my strength at illustrating that knowledge, applying it is, and I can do that without knowing the ins and outs of the hardware/software/services I am using.

Not to be a wet blanket but studying hard isn't the same as studying well. Cramming, seems a more appropriate term for what you've done to prepare for the exam. Cramming rarely gets you anything: you might memorize something but after you take the exam you probably won't remember anything because you didn't really learn it. Study smarter, OP, not harder.
