Failed the OFAI — what to do differently the second time

The part about reviewing wrong answers thoroughly is so underrated. Most people just move on after getting something wrong. Going back to understand the concept is what actually builds retention for the OFAI.

Bookmarking this. I'm still in the early stages of OFAI prep and threads like this are way more useful than generic study guides. The specifics about practice test are particularly helpful — that's the section I've been avoiding.

This is exactly the thread I needed. I sit for my OFAI in 4 weeks and have been second-guessing my prep. The exam prep area you mentioned is definitely my weak spot. Thanks for the honest breakdown.

Late to this thread but wanted to add — the exam prep section trips up more people than any other part. If you're scoring below 73% there in practice, treat it as your only focus for at least a week before moving on. Breadth at the expense of depth in that area is a common mistake.

Same experience here. The free ofai writing and grammar ability questions and answers was what finally made it click for me — specifically the way it explains the reasoning rather than just giving answers. Took me 4 weeks of consistent practice but scores went from 63% to 85% by exam day.
