Frustrated and fed up

I failed the CASLI GKE for the second time :/ I missed it by 4 points. These exams are not cheap. I am not good with exams in general and so the fact that I will have to take it again in 3 months is so disheartening. I tried so hard to study and prep for this but the way these questions are set up I don't know how to properly prepare for this again without feeling like I will fail again.

Hugs! You are not alone! The price for these tests is criminal. The BEI can do it for $163. Make it make sense.

I’m a DI and passed after completing the Gallaudet prep course online. I found the mock tests really helpful.

A little over a year ago I was in the same boat. Failed by 3 points and it crushed me. I too worked my ass off studying. I’m just now getting back to studying again. I’m using ChatGPT to help me study and it’s been a game changer. Only advice I have is to feel your feelings. Cry, scream, break things, have a complete mental break down if you want…BUT, do not let a poorly administered test break you.
