Well, like most things I take on in life, this blog started out as a great idea, but has become secondary to the other things I find to fill my time. I know it's been awhile and I've left you all hanging on, waiting for more. That's the kind of cliff-hanger writer I am. I keep you wanting more don't I?
So I waited patiently for the scores of my first exam only to find that I had "moderate deficiencies" in 1 of 5 areas of the exam. It seems I need to study the AIA contracts and legal responsibilities more. I actually find it encouraging that the only part that I failed is the part that I have spent the leaset time on in my short career. This may be dissappointing to some of you, but I find it encouraging. I didn't really have a feel for the test style prior to the first one, and now knowing I barely failed it, I know I'll pass it the next time I take it (August 25). I know the exact date because I have to wait 6 months to take it. I plan on taking it the first day I am eligible to get all of these tests over with as soon as possible.
In the meantime, I just took my second exam (Programming, Planning, & Practice) yesterday. After getting a sense of how well I did on the first one, I feel pretty confident about this second exam. There was a quite a bit of overlap between the first two (I did that on purpose) so a lot of the questions from both tests covered similar topics. Hopefully, my gut feeling will prevail and I'll be batting .500 after I get the results in 4-6 weeks.
I have since scheduled my third test, Site Planning & Design, for the 28th of April (Mom's bday). I know what you are all thinking, "that soon?" Well yes. I orginally planned 2 weeks per test and am trying to get on track and stay close to that schedule.
I'll try to keep this updated more frequently as I take tests or receive results. I now you all find this so interesting.
