Michelle,

Congratulations on passing your exam!

Thank you for sharing your success and lessons learned. I remember the inputs that you submitted through our simulator’s Live Feedback™ support feature. We are glad to hear that our products helped you prepare for and pass your exam.

Good luck in all your future endeavors.

Thanks PrepCast! The simulator helped me with the types of questions that were given and the test taking aspect - reading questions for four hours! I first started getting 65% on the Simulation Exams and quizzes, and worked my way up to 75% - 80% the days before the exam. I would recommend going through as many questions on the simulator as possible, and spending time to review the questions.
As an online test taker, I experienced quite a few technical / computer issues with Pearson's though I had disabled my firewall and ran the system checks a few times leading to the exam. For the test and possible technical issues, I would recommend mentally preparing yourself for this. I went into the exam expecting to encounter technical difficulties, and so I wasn't distracted when they actually occurred.
In any case, you can do it! It is possible! I didn't know if I passed until the screen showed "Congratulations." And on top of that AT/AT/AT!
