Hi Everyone!...
Thanks for all the support you guys have given me !!! I took another shot at the exam and passed.
( I did it on a discount of a discounted voucher I bought from someone who was selling it as it was near expiry.)
I had to wait at the Prometric place for about 2.5 hours as there were other test going on..
Here are some of the suggestions I have for retakers
- Look at the areas where you have kinda scored badly and work on them.They would provide more scope for getting more marks into the kitty ...
For eg I was zilch in collections in the 1st go coz i didnt care to mug those methods but made it 100%the next time..
- Some topics I really didnt improve on at all between both exams like threads and GC 75%
Focusing on them just because they are your favourites wont really get you the pass marks.
- Some of the bigger chapters in the K&B were a put off for me as I often ended up sleeping

with the book and ultimately consumed more time.So the only thing possible was do a rapid cram

or hit the 2 minute notes or alternatively do questions on these topics.
- I did find one of the questionsbank

on the net useful.Especially for nailing down some of the smaller chapters where I had gone down in my score.
- I just prepared for the last week or two with K& Bsince I was already sleepy/sick

of seeing the book and all the underlined

and dog eared pages of my making and was having lotsa work

and some family obligations

leading up to the exam....
- As the book says its all about having the knowledge at the right point of time....
Now I will proceed and try to become MAD..(SCMAD)...next ......
I heard a rumour that Sun is going to Hike the fee for the Voucher in Sept... :roll:
Did anyone hear anything of that sort....
Hmmm....where will I hunt and get my next discounted VOucher from .....
If anyone has anything for me for becoming MAD

they could pass it across!!!
