I'm in the odd year club too.

L2 - Passed June 09
L3 - Failed June 10 (Band 6)

Probably should have skipped 2010!

3/4 here, and I agree with the potential "blessing in disguise" theory. I was band 10 last year, and when I started studying the second time around it shocked me how poorly I really understood some of the material. this time I felt as though I really got it, and was able to draw connections throughout the entire curriculum that I simply did not see last year. of course going 3/3 would be great and perhaps it's just human nature to try to look for a silver lining, but I really do feel as though, in the end, I am better off having retaken it. it's not just material I read to take a test; it's stuff I can actually use, and know how to use it.

Band 10 on L3 in 2010. Was lucky enough to pass in 2011 to finish 3/4. I actually found that I was able to learn much more the second time around. I think it can be a blessing in disguise to fail one of the levels, as it allows you to use some of the tools and concepts more fully in your day to day work without focusing on the minutia that is tested on the exams. That being said, it would have been nice to finish 3/3 and not have to study another year!
