Ok, so just attempted a retake (#2) today using STC and missed by 1% - from test 1 to test 2 I gain 2%...unbelievably poor ROI The STC materials were provided and assumed they would be fine. From the start I didn't like the book (format/layout), can't really say why as I'm not an education content creator. I took a 65 and the course instructor was a bit strange but it was well laid out and her style worked well for me - passed first time and I had no background in that material. Definitely did not invest as much time Unfortunately I've invested 100-200 hours in STC videos, book, notes, tests, etc and don't have the pass to show for it - doing the same thing expecting different results is the definition of insanity. I'm interested in buying a Knopman manual if anyone is selling. Additionally the test format changes in Oct of 2018 so the courses will likely have to be reformatted (my assumption).
