Passed the 801, and 802 in a week
Just wanted to say I passed the 801, and it was a breeze. It was the second time I took it, the first time I hadn't studied at all and I bombed it. Huge ego blow. After buckling down for about a month, using this forum, blogs, and Google; I went in and passed with a 735!!! Stoked. Thanks
