decide about whether 2009 exam would be needed after you get the results in Jan. Do not even think about the results (tough to do, but has to be done) up until then.
additionally, if ever that fail happens, you do not know what kind of a headstart you have because you have taken the exam once and gotten used to the kind of questions they do ask, and how they ask them.
I know since, having personally gone thro’ a June 2007 L1 failure myself.
