This class was unusual. There is a ton of material to digest. I found the book dry and boring so I just skipped to the end of unit quizzes and answered them using common sense. Additionally, the course instructors have put together a playlist on YouTube that goes through the major topics of the course. This was helpful.
I took the PA mostly blind and scored in the 70’s, which is below my comfort level. I took another day to re-watch the YouTube material. During that time, the course instructor sent out an email containing a link to a practice exam. The notes said that if you scored better than 63, you are ready for the OA. I scored 68.
I decided to just take a chance with the OA. It did not align well with the PA at all, in my opinion. Nevertheless, I did get through it and, though I thought I failed, I scored in the 80’s. I am glad this course is behind me.
