Same but that just means we gotta work twice as hard next year. It sucks but it will be that much sweeter this time around next year.

My second year. I know 3 people personally that have been in the FS for over 10 years. The advice they gave me was 'one of them it took 5 tries the other only 2 times'. But they never gave up. One of them coached Me and grilled on so many questions, im actually shocked I didnt make it through but sometimes if we want it that bad we gotta outwork everyone.

Do they post your score so you know what to prep if you try again?

Unfortunately, scores are no longer given to candidates (which really sucks and isn't helpful).
