Hi, good morning.  Just a little commentary on the state exam.  I passed this morning on my first try.  Just barely, but I passed.  Some tips below.

- The state exam was more high level than the class exam and state exam simulator.  I took the state exam simulator about 10 times.  The questions on the state exam were not like the exam simulator for the most part. Much more about theory.  In hindsight I would spend more time reading the book.  The flashcards and exam simulator helped, but not as much as I thought.  I also didn't think the exam in the book matched up with the state exam that well either.  Much more about theory.  Very little math.   

Hope this helps, good luck.
