I have my exam coming up this weekend, and your videos have been INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much for creating these! Your teaching style is so clear and enjoyable to listen to as well!
I hope that everything goes well for you today! I am sure that you have studied very hard, and, as you can see from many comments on the site, that effort tends to pay off. My very, very best to you!
Thanks for going over these so fully. I am taking the test again today..I failed by a single point the first time..So gutted. and to know that 10 questions don't even count just makes me very angry. I went over your videos again so I hope this time I will have what I need.
Hang in there, Robert. You will succeed and the test will be behind you. Regarding the ten questions that do not count, that is also one of my objections to the current iteration of the assessment. I wrote about that here: ua-cam.com/users/chrisboosaliscommunity. The post is 5 months old, but it should be there if you care to read my thoughts on that issue and more. State Senator Rubio proposed legislation to repeal the test entirely, but it has been tabled. I would encourage you, if you so desire, to express your sentiments dispassionately to the Senator Rubio directly. While I am not opposed to testing credential candidates on their knowledge of content, I am opposed to playing games with people. It is neither fair nor just - it is table-tilting in favor of the house, to use a casino metaphor. I do also advise you to not let the "negative ten" bring you down or cause a rise in anger - RICA is passable, and I am absolutely confident that it will happen for you as it has happened for anyone who refuses to throw in the towel. The videos convey the best information and tactics that I know, and they are now out there for everyone. You have already increased your odds of passing by taking the test again and being armed with knowledge, experience, and practice that you may not have had before. In closing, I always suggest that test takers write down everything that they recall from the test as soon as possible, especially the areas that were baffling or confusing, as an act of empowerment. I hope that there is never a retake the test again, but, if it comes to that, then one will be in a better position just in case. I am sending you my best wishes that the above will not be necessary.

StrongWombynofWorld yeah even the relaxing of the requirements to get a preliminary credential still require the exam at some point. These vidoes helped me so much and I passed! So I know if you follow what is outlined in these videos and in the practice test overview you'll pass, too!
Do the best that you can, Jose. That is all anyone can ask of anyone and even themselves. My guess is that you have studied hard and put a great deal of time and effort into your preparation. Trust that. I hope that all goes well for you. Chris B.
Taking the RICA in a few hours. Going over these video one last time. They are very helpful. Thank you so much!!
I hope that everything works out for you! Best of luck & everything!

I'm taking the RICA for my 5th time come April 15th. I'm not happy at all and the COVID-19 is making it worse. I won't quit though!
Not to my knowledge....

Taking RICA tomorrow morning. Stressing out.

So did you pass?
