Bad Information

In life, sometimes people don't slow down to make sure they give out the most accurate, correct information. And that is a shame, especially when dealing with matters that are really important, especially to someone who is already reeling from a bad experience, such as Architectural Registration Exam scores.

When I was inquiring to NCARB about the new testing procedures and exams, he offhandedly told me that my last FAIL (yes, he put it in all caps), was on 03-12-09. That would have been the third and final test I took, and that would have made me 0-3. When he so casually informed me of that, the last little bit of air that I had left in me, escaped in a quiet, lifeless way. He should have been more attentive, and done a better job. I got the real score yesterday, well really today, since I was not at work that late yesterday.

PASS

The jerk gave me bad info, I would like to strangle him for it. So, I actually got a PASS on Site Planning. So I am really 1 for 3. Still not great, still not what I had hoped, but it give me hope that maybe I can get through this, and that I am not starting over from square one.
