Hello, I'm new here and need to vent/encourage those who, like me, have failed the 801 multiple times.

1st attempt: 821
2nd: 770
3rd: 834 (omg!)

Scheduled for my 4th (and final!) this Tuesday (25th).

The biggest thing I'm having to learn is to BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL and METICULOUS with answering the questions.

Wish me luck

    You have a great attitude, bro... knock em dead.

    I took 2 tries, so I can relate (kinda, sorta).

    Well if it makes you feel better, they don't make the test any easier the more you take it :D

    I failed INCD once, and will be going for my 2nd, and hopefully last, try next month.


    Good luck!

    What's the time span between your first attempt and 4th attempt? Is there a reason you mentioned your 4th is your final attempt?

    Best of luck!

    I studied ~ 1 month before taking first test and then proceeded to take the next two as soon as I could out of frustration with failing (i.e. as soon as the 5 day limit / testing center time allowed me to)...too hasty for sure!

    So my advice is that if you fail, give yourself at least 2-3 weeks, if not more, of studying.

    The final 4th attempt is wishful anticipation...
