I know a guy who took it (about) 10 times, he finally passed.

Terry Slattery summed it up pretty well. He's a really bright guy.

I can't recall if he was paying for it, or his company. This was about 5 years ago ... I believe he got a pay bump that would have covered it.

He traveled from FL to go to Bruce and Val's class ... that's where I met him. He was a good guy and worked hard for his numbers, I hope he kept them.

Good on him for sticking with it.

I know a guy who gave it a run a couple years back. After attempt 4 or 5 (maybe 6) he gave up. Part of that may have been he ran our of funds...
