Honestly I studied my ass off everywhere i was. On post at home during my sleep lol. But yea during the last hour of the test I started to calculate my score and I had 80 questions in the bag. dropped alot of easy ones tho :(
Here's mine. I'm sick of numbers but if I counted right, 23 diff from crytoseven and 25 diff from 63asap. I studied my ass off for 6 mos. I know for a fact that I got 51 wrong. It was def not B. 1 D 2 B 3 B 4 C 5 A 6 D 7 B 8 C 9 C 10 A 11 C 12 C 13 D 14 A 15 C 16 D 17 D 18 B 19 B 20 B 21 B 22 C 23 B 24 A 25 B 26 A 27 D 28 B 29 A 30 D 31 C 32 A 33 D 34 C 35 B 36 D 37 B 38 C 39 B 40 D 41 C 42 C 43 A 44 D 45 B 46 A 47 A 48 C 49 D 50 A 51 B 52 B 53 C 54 D 55 A 56 C 57 B 58 C 59 B 60 A 61 D 62 A 63 B 64 B 65 C 66 D 67 C 68 C 69 B 70 B 71 D 72 C 73 A 74 B 75 C 76 D 77 D 78 A 79 B 80 D 81 A 82 C 83 C 84 C 85 B 86 B 87 C 88 D 89 B 90 D 91 C 92 D 93 C 94 B 95 C 96 A 97 C 98 A 99 D 100 D
Ondeeair it def looks good for us! I was nervous to look at these. I was *pretty sure* I passed but they make you second guess yourself so much! I'm actually feeling pretty good after comparing answers here.
yeah i checked too in PG---stupid crap i dropped---definitely harder than the 09 test......there is no way i dropped more than 30 tho---thats for sure. and u and i are identical except for 22.......i ve compared to 15 others who studied hard----everyone of them is within 20-25 questions difference. so--since we got 78 of the same answers----theres no way we re under 70 right--ha ha???
and with the 2nd guessing---i hear ya. i ve been taking tests my whole life and nothing compares to this bologna. absolute nonsense. i walked outta there like i PASSED. but then the command chirps start coming and ur like---DAMN!!!
So here's where I stand with all of you. I studied my ass off for 6 months. Went in there with all the confidence in the world and left feeling defeated:
25 off CryTwo7 26 off Turtles 26 off Frankie 27 off 63asap 29 off on deeair 29 off Su Madre
Does this mean I'm on the fence? Is there any chance of me passing? I know there's a give and take ratio and it appears I'm on the fence. Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Schedule B put it this way. The people who have passed told us all not to break the Cardinal Rule: NO COMPARING ANSWERS. So with that said we inflicted ourselves with this hysteria. But honestly I'm running it close with the other guys who have claimed to study hard and I walked out feeling I passed WITHOUT QUESTION. Whether it was a 80 or 70 I KNEW IN MY HEAD I HAD THIS...but in 5 weeks the REAL BAROMETER comes out. Just stay positive. After spending most of the day like I was on crack...ive calmed down knowing I put n hard work and whatever will be, will be
i went hard for 6 months----2nd time takin it-----4 hours a day then 8-10 hours last 3 weeks.......thought i was definitely in the 80's......looked most of my on the fence questions up and 20--24 is where im standing......
oasis----37 diff su madre---30 diff turtle---27 diff
then these guys were same except for: cry two-seven--20 diff thrity-seven--22 diff grumpy---22 diff
I didn't take the 09 test. I took the 07 and bombed it. In HS and college I was always an A student and considered myself an excellent test taker. This crap is just retarded! Anyway, I think I did all right but I'm not gonna post my answers here and then run my mouth off like I got a 90 - we can check everyone's answers who posted here in 5 weeks and I'm pretty sure we all will lol.
I hear you. I was just frustrated with the exam that's all. Like I said if you ask me about the patrol guide I was to the point where I could recite procedures to you but come test day I dont know what happened. I honestly don't see me getting more than 30 wrong and comparing it to cry, ondeeair, 63 and turtle who seem to have to have the most comparable answers that's where I stand with that logic. But I don't know how Im gonna last 5 weeks knowing that I'm on the fence of pass/fail.
That's honestly all I want is to pass. I don't care if I have to wait a few years to get made. Knowing that there's a light at the end of the tunnel would be a nice feeling. And I don't know if I could dedicate the amount of time I did to this stupid test again if I didn't pass. I'm in the 25-29 range for you guys so I'm hoping all of you passed this sucker. Best of luck to everyone.
I studied hard , for 6 months and then the last 6 days before the test I put in 12 hours a day... I'm pissed I lost on easy ones about 3 comparing to everyone else. The test was not easy and not hard. It was fair. Good luck to all
Same hear. Well I look forward to going into work tomorrow to see what threat they have for me this time. LOL. In roll call, I usually get the return date, the color of the day and the threat of the day.
promised i wasnt gonna join the madness but here we are..i honestly dont think comparing all the answers is worth it tooo many variables....most people posting studied hard but we had some grounders go thru the wickets i know i deff did.. im just comparing the in basket portion to everyone elses because that was the most exhausting part ....ive compared my answer key with all the guys 63asap and turtle and it seems we all MOSTLY matched on these questions 1 D 2 B 4 C 5 A
6 D
8 C 12C
14D 15C 18B < deff got this one right ran to my car to check notes after test
based on cross referencing it seems these were correct answers.. crossed with 5 other keys this is borderline edp im done for the night..... anymore irrational people wanna use my method to find other answers that match with at least 5 other keys of people that said they studied go for it!
hope this helps you guys out atleast i know i didnt get everything wrong on the in hell basket

Here's an answer key from a friend that studied pretty hard.
1 D 2 B 3 A 4 C 5 A 6 D 7 D 8 C 9 A 10 B 11 C 12 C 13 D 14 D 15 C 16 A 17 A 18 A 19 B 20 B 21 B 22 B 23 B 24 A 25 B 26 D 27 D 28 A 29 A 30 D 31 B 32 B 33 A 34 D 35 D 36 D 37 B 38 C 39 C 40 D 41 C 42 C 43 A 44 D 45 B 46 A 47 A 48 C 49 C 50 A 51 B 52 B 53 C 54 D 55 A 56 C 57 A 58 B 59 B 60 A 61 C 62 D 63 B 64 B 65 B 66 D 67 C 68 B 69 B 70 B 71 D 72 D 73 B 74 B 75 B 76 D 77 D 78 A 79 B 80 A 81 B 82 C 83 C 84 C 85 D 86 B 87 B 88 D 89 B 90 C 91 B 92 B 93 C 94 B 95 C 96 A 97 C 98 C 99 A 100 B
ok, this is my strategy for giving myself an idea.
I referened my score sheet with NEWUSER's list...If i could the double and triple conflicting answers wrong + all my answers that don't match up with this "master" list, then i would end up with an 80. I must have passed!!!!
29 differences with this list without considering the questions with the multiple answers. That gives me 71. I have the majority choice in 5 of the questions with multiple answers.
I like what im seeing...

28 answers different from New Users...taking in account those questions average out for mulitple answers...low 70s it looks like...hopefully I may pick up some more points.
