C-170 Data Management – Applications

March 16, 2019 – March 24, 2019
Been struggling with this course. Not the study material, just haven’t been able to concentrate for some reason. Got me scratching my head! Just going to have to bulldoze my way through. I want this worse than when I started, as I do not know why I cannot get passed materials that I understand.

Outcome: Passed (score 81)

I started studying on 01/16/2019 and studied four hours a day during the weekdays (M-F (working)), and eight hours on the weekends. I still felt ill prepared after a two weeks of studying, but I scheduled the exam and pushed through.

Onto the next one! 😉

Outcome: Failed (Score 68)

I did not study at all. I registered for the exam two months in advance, but got distracted and put studying off. By the time I realized that the test day was close, time had gone by and my schedule assistant notifying me that my exam was the next day.

Planning to retake the exam in March 2019.
