Sorry guys. I wish I had better news. I didn't pass the 6. I know I'd been sounding vaguely fatalistic as to my chances of passing the 1st time, but this was one thing I knew for certain. It was a long shot. See, the NASD has a cache' of over 20,000 questions they mix and match to provide a random test sample for the testers. (As a cheat-preventative) My few assurances that the 1st two chapters of the exam guide which were, in fact, the longest and most difficult to navigate would only be (maybe) 2-3 questions? Not so much. I was in the 80-90% range for the last 4 chapters, and not so good on the 1st two. By the tune of 5 questions shy of a pass.
5 fucking questions.
I was pretty bummed, all told. As I was swilling wine over dinner with Mo, she did give me a comfort that I'm gonna stand by:
"Baby, of all the things you could study and test for? This has got to be as far away from your strengths as possible."
True dat. At least I tried. And get two more chances to try before I lose my job.
Oh, anyone have any openings for an energetic go-getter that pays over $40K and is a little closer to my home- lemme know.
Frass.

Lil' Brother,
Send me your CV and what kind of thing you're looking for and I'll see if we have any openings.

Oh yeah, don't sweat the 5 questions.
The 6 is a extremely difficult test. Just study up on things so you don't lose anything and remember, the next time you take it you'll likely get easier questions.
I once took a test and got a 47% on it. Simply because most of the questions were on the one topic I wasn't really solid on. I immediately retook the test and passed. Again, don't sweat it.
