Got my results yesterday and didn't pass. I'm frustrated but trying to stay focused on what to fix rather than dwelling on it. Writing this partly to process it and partly because I know others will be in the same spot.
My weakest area was practice test — I knew going in that it was shaky but underestimated how much the exam weighted it. The questions weren't unfair, I just didn't have the depth I needed.
I'm rebuilding my study plan around the cca construction project management and controls 2 and going much slower this time — no more rushing through topics I think I know. Planning to take 8 more weeks before rescheduling.
Anyone else been through a CCA retake? What specifically changed in your approach that made the difference? And is it normal to feel like the second attempt is actually harder because of the pressure?
Same experience here. The cca construction project management and controls 2 was what finally made it click for me — specifically the way it explains the reasoning rather than just giving answers. Took me 2 weeks of consistent practice but scores went from 66% to 82% by exam day.
Really helpful breakdown, thanks for sharing. I'm at week 4 of my CCA prep and the exam prep section is exactly where I'm struggling too. Going to try the approach you described and see if it moves my scores.
