Re: Messed up AC today!
Posted by Tracy on 5/05/08

    Thanks for the words of hope. I just received an email from
    NBPTS, and basically they told me that the directions were
    clearly stated in the online powerpoint and the assessment
    tutorial, and I could do nothing but wait and see the scores.
    I was not as fortunate as you and realized my errors on
    question 4 or 5. With each essay totalling 6.67% there is no
    way I will have enough points to pass. I have resigned myself
    to having to take it over.
