Testimonial - Sam

While i took course, i thought it was meticulous and doing a thorough job explaining why certain rules and regulations were applied. I did the practice quizes and got A’s across the board. I knew all the information from the course backwards and forwards. I read reviews about how the test questions were almost word-for-word. Felt confident. To my horror, i didnt recognize hardly ANY of the material on the actual exam, nor did i find any word-for-word questions. I made assumptions and guessed for the entire test aside from maybe 5/155 questions. I feel like i wasted my time and money. Highly dissatisfied.

AP RESPONSE: Hi Sam, Sorry to hear you did not pass your exam. Unfortunately, reviews often say “word-for-word” and while I think it’s generally because students followed the course study guide and know the material so well, it can give others the impression we have the test company’s questions (we do not!). Course providers all work off the same test content outlines and have to teach the material that is needed to be learned. We can not stress enough that students should not memorize questions, but should instead complete their entire course and know the material being tested on inside and out. Looking over your course utilization I would recommend completing the lecture videos in your course and not relying so heavily on test questions. If you score 46% on a quiz and then follow it up shortly after with 100%, it generally means you memorized the quiz questions. We would still assume you didn’t know roughly half the material you were quizzed on and should go back to the lecture videos in that chapter. If you have questions please feel free to reach out. We are happy to help! 😉 . FUTURE STUDENTS: Be sure to follow your study guide and complete the entire course before testing for the best possible chance of passing your exams on the first try.
