The BPAD is like that on the drive home you think to yourself I could have said or should have said this. Don't worry you probably did just fine. Now back to the waiting game.

"not very confident" is how most people feel...........

It's hard to judge yourself and for sure an awkward situation to talk to a tv-screen.......

Most people pass this one, do not worry to much!

it's a weird feeling when you're done. I wouldn't worry much about it.
Unless you are a nutcase, or you broke the screen and then vandalized the room, you have probably passed.
Good Luck!

Does that go for bouncing on the bed. That has to be why I failed.

Ya, I did mine on December 9. Did my best, but I feel so uncertain. I really hope I passed. Some of the scenerios I feel I did very well, but there were some where I could have reacted and said something else to make it better.

Just relax and wait for your results don't second guess yourself and drive yourself nuts for no reason. As long as you didn't sit there and stare at the screen and say nothing you should pass!

I sure hope so. I just hate waiting. I'll be very happy if I passed, obviously. I didn't appear like a nutcase, I was calm, and asked questions. Many were repetitive questions though. All I can really say is that if I failed, I really don't know what else I could have done that wasn't just a result of nerves and awkwardness.

I know everyone feels they didnt do well, Im pretty sure I bombed it :lol:
I had a really hard time being sincere with a TV character. If passed Ill be really happy, but if I dont I know what I need to work on for sure.
Im not expecting my results until Jan.

Well, I opened the mailbox this afternoon and was greeted by an over sized envelop, containing my OACP certificate. Passed everything first shot. Now onto the porfolio building as Im waiting till March to apply.

Why wait untill March to apply this is a long process it's not impossible to make it through fast but march will put you out for May's class and looking at September's class. Unless that is what you are aiming for.

Well, with my current job, Im under a training bond until March, if I leave, I need to pay the remainder of what it costed for my training. The training bill for 2 corporate jets is quite hefty. I'm hoping for September, besides I havent volunteered since highschool due to my job, so Im going to just take any sort of volunteering I can get, I wanted to do Big Brother and St Johns ambulance, but they require a certain amount of time per week, and I would need to be able to make a commitment to attend events in advance, which is impossible because Im on call 24/7. And from what I've been told, my participation in fundraising events wont be enough.
