I took the test May 11th. I felt very good after completing the Technician test in January and had no worries while it was being graded later finding that I had missed none. I was not as confident after this test. When I read the first question I thought "Oh, sh..", then the second question, another "Oh, sh..". I thought I would be back taking the test again. I was very surprised to get an 85%, missing 5 of the 35.
