Oh So Silly Me!


I thought online classes were going to be a piece of cake! Silly me, they are about as easy as it would be to make this multi-layered cake. I am too old to be in school! I am studying every night for these three classes, computers, business 101 and business management. Truth be told, I think perhaps the structure of a classroom would be easier, but this is the only realistic way I can obtain this degree. So enough blogging for now, and back to the books!

To Be or Not To Be A Trainee...

Ok. I have been too boiling mad for too long to update you on this fiasco. I missed passing my test for my trainee license by one question. I had challeged a question that did not have enough information for me to answer.

In the course of the investigation they determined that indeed that question was a question that was wrong on my final score, so therefore my request for them to take a look at the question was valid. The question was reviewed by the AQB and they deemed it was a valid question....for the appraiser license test. No necessarily the trainee test, but nevertheless, it could be answered and I missed it. (Huh? I was scratching my head on that one...)

So.....I need to retake the trainee test. But, not the one they have been giving me because it is too difficult and I cannot pass it with the required classes I have taken, to be able to pass it I need another 110 hours of appraisal schooling. (Remember, I just missed it by one...)

June 15 a new test will be implemented into the system and I will need to take that one. I should be able to pass it with the 90 hours of classes I have completed. Oh, and since they gave me the wrong test to begin with, they are looking into seeing if they can waive that $75 fee I have paid twice now. But they are doing this not only for me, but for everyone else who has failed the test also, 95% of the people who have taken it so far this year.

Am I wrong to have issues with this?
