I apologize if that came across as crass or demeaning. It was not meant that way.

I also have 3 kids, a trading job and actually had a heart attack in January to throw a nice kink into my studying.

With that said I probably put at least 500 hours of studying into it this year as I literally ordered the books the day I got the fail and started studying in september, took the NYSSA class, finished the schweser Qbank twice, did every EOC, Practice exam, Mock, and old tests at least 3 times and squeaked by after failing level III last year.

I don't believe that it is statistically possible that test takers intelligence dropped by over 50 percent from 76 percent to 46 percent over the last few years. I do think that the test is much harder than it has been in the past.

Also for me having 15 years experience certainly helped me pass. Don't give up dude. Next year may be 65 percent. Or it may be 30 and you might pass.
