Exam 2- 2 exams failed

Hi Beata, until other students reply, we wanted to give our encouragement. Don't give up! This is a massive course, with many new concepts and terms to learn and understand. Here's some suggestions we think you'll find helpful:

• Contact Humber Learner Support for guidance in terms of what to do next in relation to exams and course registration. You may be required to re-start Course 2, however previous student feedback has indicated exceptions may be possible. From our understanding of Humber policies you won't have to restart at Course 1. 
• Focus your studies on understanding not just memorization. Our best Passit tip is to take the time to understand why an answer was right/wrong. Worry less about answering all available questions and take more time to read and digest all answer feedback and topic tips. This helps ensure you're not memorizing the answer but actually understanding the rationale. As each exam is different this is critical, as it helps you to tackle any question on exam day.
• If you've focused your Passit studying on the MCQs, remember to branch off to the Rapid Recalls and Terminator Puzzles. This may seem unessential given the exam format, but both features test your knowledge of single-point course concepts, and may resonate more with your style of learning/understanding. Both features focus your understanding to a single fact (instead of four options). This can help solidify your knowledge of the course material and assist when you're presented with a confusing/challenging option on exam day.
• Use your exam reports to identify which modules were most challenging for you. This helps  target your studying and may identify areas in the course that require a re-read. You find this info by signing into your Humber learner portal, then My Enrollment History, Completed, then click your exam title, then Click Here To Access the Exam, then click the Past tab and click the icon under Exam Report. 

We completely understand why you would feel discouraged but don't give up! This is a tough course, you are not alone in your struggles, and you are very close to a pass! Reach out to Humber for assistance in relation to a rewrite, and focus your studying on the areas identified in your exam report!

Something i did was went on passit and did the test from every module. every question i got wrong i would make notes of it untill i got at least 80% on every module test

Hi Beata,

I understand that it is frustrating to be so close to passing course 2. As you know, the course is very long and feels overwhelming so dont be too hard on yourself. 

As far as I understand, you would need to take course 2 again online, but not 1. Maybe contact Humber to see if there are any exceptions that could be made for you since you were so close to passing.

I wish you all the best!

Thank you @Azar Wheatle & @Peter Oleniuk  for your advice and warm words.  I hugely appreciate it! 

Same happened to me with course 2,  and now again with course 3,  everytime  very close to 75 I sometimes don’t get it  we study hard and think were prepared ,  there is lots of questions in course 2 and especially course 3 where it seems there is really 2 correct answers and you are not sure which is actually more correct then the other and lots of NOT questions as well

try with eliminations rather than going for right answer and pay attention to NOT questions! Like what is not true about.... Read carefully : for example- "buyer's salesperson shall send seller (who is represented btw) questions about the property. " Though at the glance seems ok, you never contact seller (unless you get consent from the seller's salesperson) so it is wrong!  Also don't get tricked by  the distractors (details in question that have noting to do with the required answer).  Read Passit study tips if haven't already.  Note that Humber doesn't count all questions toward the mark- some have higher weight, some have no weight at all!!

I haven't done my 2nd yet and, thought the contact is very logical, finding that the questions asked tend to trick you and this makes me very nervous. Good luck!

I found that my Course 2 exam had a lot of double negatives, so you had to carefully read and re-read the questions to make sure you understood exactly what they were looking for. To be honest a lot of the questions felt like they were designed to trip you up, rather than just test your knowledge, which I don't like.

I bookmarked any question that I had even the slightest doubt about so I could come back to it later, and moved on to ones that I was confident about. I found that made me feel less discouraged overall as I worked through the exam, and when I went back to the tricky ones later I was able to figure them out.

I ended up doing a lot better than I expected, and I think my strategy in not immediately dwelling on questions I was hesitant about really helped with that!

Good luck!!
