Ca Grade 5 exam conquered
Kept putting off taking the highly feared computer based grade 5 exam and finally put my head down and studied for it. Recently passed first try and am glad I did because the feeling of having to reread simple questions over and over just to make sure the state isn't trying to pull a fast one on you is exhausting. There were several questions I feel that if worded better, the pass rate would be higher on this exam. But it almost feels like the state is content on making questions unnecessarily difficult to even comprehend at times. I would say the "essay" questions are probably the most difficult and only because of how the questions and possible answers are worded. Mostly used WWTT as the study material and would recommend to anyone. Also my suggestion to those thinking of going for the grade 4 would be to just skip it and do the 5 if you meet the time requirements. No sense in trying to pass the same test twice.
Good luck to all those studying for their state exams right now!
