Failed step 2 - rsab - ArchivalUser - 12-23-2007
I failed ck by 10 points. I only have month and half to study till I take it again. Was thinking of doing the Pass Program in Illinois. Anyone heard anything about program or have any advice?

I have not gone thru it myself. However, I know several people who have done the pass program and THEN done kaplan program. People have said there is no comparison. Its a different approach which you may or may not cling on to. Kaplan by far exceeds the Pass Program. Although there is variability from student to student, word on the street is that it may or may not help. I would gather more information......good luck...

rsab I think that a couple of people in the forum might be able to help you...Noora (sorry if it's not you Noora) I think failed his/hers and re-took it got a great score the second time around. We can't emphasize enough that you MUST know what you are being asked. Best next management is not the same as next step...we get "trapped" by those minor things, it's not that you don't know it's just that you need to learn what is being asked. How about your performance sheet? It'll be easier for us to guide you if you share honestly your preparation as Yousef mentioned. Let us know how did you prepare and we can help a bit on your "second time around". Think that 10 points is not that far away from passing (btw, 10 points on the three or two scale ? that is important), a high percentage of IMGs within 10 points from the three scale pass the second time with a good score. So if you focus on your weaknesses and strengthen even more the areas that you are strong on you will pass with a good score
Chin up, cheer up and start today!
