Scott,

Congrats on finishing the exam. If you’re anything like me, your mind can take a nice break now.

When I was walking out of the exam, I remember thinking that the exam was really hard but I wasn’t surprised at the difficulty. It was exactly what I expected.

The hardest part now is waiting. Good luck!

Just took the exam over the weekend and I feel pretty decent. I’m a little worried because they say if you feel even remotely good, you probably failed. I studied for about 5 months doing review and probably spent a good 400 hours total of study time. How did you feel after walking out of the exam?

Hey there,
I’m thinking about taking the same program to begin preparing to become a CFP as well. Can you tell me whether you used the monthly pay option they’re advertising which gives you up to 5 months to study for each course? If you did, and you completed the entire program within 18 mos as you describe, did you still have to pay for the last 6 months of time? I’m trying to get in touch with the American College help desk to ask but today is one of the last days of a special and the phone lines are all tied up.

What always workedfor me was quiet places where I could focus..campus library was always my favorite location. Congratulations on passing the exam! Did you have to have X hours of college courses before taking it? OR did you graduate from a CFP program?
