.....if you passed, why did you feel you passed. What study techniques helped the most and what did you find the easiest on the Exam.

.....for those who have failed. Why did you fail? What part of the exam was difficult or something you weren't expecting. Was the test very hard or you weren't prepared?

Taking it this week and just looking for some hints.

I think you're too late to make any changes. Just relax.


See you Tuesday and remember there is a lot of traffic around the exam centre, so leave yourself loads of time (assuming you're writing in Winnipeg).

Sorta late to ask these questions , but can tell you that the entrance exam is way more complicated and more challenging then the mock exams given. It really tests you on your true knowledge of the material.

So in other words, know what you are doing. Understand it rather than memorize. Trust me, that will pay you dividends. Good luck to all!

You'll come out of the exam feeling like you got maybe 50% of the questions correct. Don't stress, you just need to beat the rest of the class who also got around 50%. I know I didn't get more than half correct but ended up with 86%.

I ended up somewhere in the 80%, but I was sure I failed the exam when I left, so when you are leaving and you feel terrible, just relax and know this is how it is designed to be. They fail everyone than curve up.

For my study technique, I got my hands on as many mock exams and previous exams as possible and I just kept doing them over and over and over until i was getting 100% on all of them.
