Hey guys. I just passed my OA1 for D105 and honestly it was not that hard. Just go through the course. Understand the concept and you can do it pretty easily. The PA is really helpful for this OA. So, make sure you are at that level that you can easily answer the PA questions with knowledge of the concepts.
Well, best of luck guys.
Today, I finally passed D217( Accounting Information System ) in my third attempt. I'll share why I failed the first two attempts and why I passed in the third time.
The first attempt I thought I will flank it like I had been doing for all other courses, watching videos, doing quizzes and practicing PA over and over again. It hit me so hard that I couldn't understand almost all of the questions i saw at the OA. I thought I had seen this somewhere and try to guess it but you can't get it right if you don't understand the question itself and can't eliminate the wrong options.
My 2nd OA, I was frustrated with the result of the first OA attempt and I tried to rush it. I had seen a reddit post of a guy saying to go through the Hannah's note and quizzes and PA and pass it. That's what I tried to do.I did the same mistake again, I understand the main concept but I forgot to keep the details of the concept in my mind. Then I took the OA. I was in the same condition, a little bit better but not enough to pass the OA. I failed it.I had to wait for 5 days before attempting the OA.
Now, today I passed the OA in my third attempt. I feel great and happy. I put a good amount of effort in this and I got a good result. SO what I did for this time is. I went through the actual course in cengage. I read it all. Mostly unit 3 and 6. I went twice in those units. I was already good for unit 1 and 5.I read through the chapters, did the quizzes trying to undrstand why that answer is correct and why the other one is not. I used Gemini to go through PA questions and understand the concept and logic behind the answers. It made me feel comfortable to understand the logic finally and understand why the other one is not correct too. I went through Hannah's updated note too once. It is really helpful. It has the exact required knowledge to review once you understand the course main concept and logic.Again I went for OA And quizzes and after 7 days of my failed OA test. I took this test and I passed it.
IMPORTANT: Now if you are just coming to this course, my suggestion would be give it at least a week. Honestly, the notebook LLM videos didn't help me much, so don't rely too much on that video. I know the courses are all over the place but use AI and try to understand the main concept for each unit and chapter by summarizing it. Use AI to understand the logic behind the Quizzes and PA questions. Go through Hannah's updated note as a review. And you should be ready to pass the OA. And even if you fail, don't be too hard on yourself. Try to remember the OA question pattern and study for a couple of days and go for it again. You'll definitely go thorugh it.
Thankyou for giving your time reading through all this. I hope you do an amazing job in D217 and all other courses. I wish you all the best. GO FOR IT>
