I've been lurking here for a while and wanted to share my experience since this community helped me so much. Failed my first attempt back in February by 4 points — honestly devastated. I scored a 68 when I needed a 72, and I just couldn't figure out where I went wrong. I'd read the manual cover to cover twice and felt like I understood the material.
What changed for my second attempt was actually doing structured CR practice test questions under timed conditions. I wasn't doing that before — I was just reading passively. I also found a CR study guide that broke down the content domains with weighted percentages, which helped me stop spending equal time on everything and focus on the high-yield sections.
The biggest CR exam tips I can offer: don't underestimate the scenario-based questions, they're worded deliberately tricky. Also budget at least 6 weeks if you're working full time. I was trying to cram into 3 weeks the first time and it just wasn't enough. Anyone else retaking or currently studying?
