Okay so I've been lurking here for a while and figured I owed it to the community to actually post after everything I went through. I sat for the SOCRA certification exam in February and March of this year and failed both times — not by a lot, but enough. My scores were 68% and 71% when I needed a 75% to pass. I was honestly devastated after the second attempt because I'd put in serious study time.
What changed for the third attempt was how I studied. I stopped just re-reading my ACRP materials and started actually drilling with a SOCRA practice test every single day for three weeks. Doing timed, randomized questions made a huge difference because the real exam moves fast and I wasn't used to that pressure. I also found a study guide that broke down the regulatory sections by CFR citation, which is where I kept losing points.
Anyone else struggling with the ICH E6 R2 section specifically? That was my biggest weak spot and I'd love to compare notes with people still in the trenches.
