I'll be honest, I was pretty demoralized after failing the AET the second time. Scored a 71 both times when I needed a 75 to pass. I'd been using random YouTube videos and some old study materials a coworker gave me, but clearly that wasn't cutting it. My employer is covering recertification costs but I'm running out of goodwill here.
What finally turned things around was committing to a structured AET practice test routine — I mean actually timed, conditions as close to the real thing as possible, not just casually clicking through questions. I also found a solid AET study guide that organized the domains by weight, which helped me stop wasting time on low-yield topics and focus on the areas that actually move your score.
Has anyone else gone through multiple attempts? I'm specifically struggling with the technical competency section. Would love to hear what exam tips helped you get over the hump — especially if you passed on a third try like I'm hoping to.
