The exam is tough, really tough. Many people do not pass on the first try. So don't beat yourself up. However, it is a fact that most people that have failed the exam once will not pass the next time unless they identify what went wrong and fix the problem.
Marie's new book can help you determine why you did not pass the exam and will tell you how to improve your scores the next time. So pick yourself up and try again.
“I passed the IBLCE exam this time after 2 fails. Huge thank you Marie for your [online] review course and the book about How to Pass the IBLCE Exam This Time. I wasn’t even going to test for a third time but after reading this book it gave me the courage I needed to test again. I liked being able to listen to the lectures on the go usually in the pick up line waiting for kids to get out of school.
The [Guide to Decoding Lactation Photos] workbook was a big help along with the Atlas. The practice exams were very helpful and much like the outline of the real exam.
