I'm studying right now, OK? RIGHT NOW. PPP on 8/31. Hate Kaplan like poison.

It must be working but why not use Ballast if you hate kraplan so much?
Just curious...How are you in a position where you have just taken and passed your first test and you're grandfathered in to 4.0?

I've been eligible for 4.0 since 3.1 was still a thing. I'm old. The shift to 5.0 prompted action since I've got the 4.0 books and didn't want to go through the hassle of picking and choosing chapters across the board... but I'm switching to 5.0 after SPD because fewer tests.
I'm using Kaplan AND Ballast. Because I'm an overachiever (just a procrastinatey one).

I had no inclination you were old...Was more curious as to why it's taken you so long to take a test.

Because I'd never had much trouble finding a job before now, but my current level of experience is suspect without a license. I've also had several jobs that only lasted 5-10 months (some of which ended due to economic conditions, others I left due to personality issues with my employers, and that one time I got fired because I couldn't read my boss's mind), which looks problematic on a resume, and so I needed to eliminate a negative. Or finally get settled where I could do my own thing. As a 40 year old woman with a feisty personality, low tolerance for bullshit, and a glass face, I may very well be unemployable. It was finally time for me to stop relying on others to make work for me.

Don't feel ashamed! At least you're honest...I'm certain many people will not admit their failures and thanks to you, we can all get a more accurate gauge...BTW, good luck with PPP. Are you planning on transitioning to 5.0 once you pass PPP?

Never give up. period. I did well with the AREs, but college was another thing. I have attended every level of public institution in California, CC, CSU, UC. Failed quite a bit but never gave up. I'm done with everything but the CSE and I'm now in law school at a top ranked school. Anything can happen lol

Most people only need 6 - 8 weeks, so maybe take them a little faster. Don't be afraid to fail and retake. If you do that, you would have 3 tries per test before 4.0 is retired. In my opinion 4.0 is much easier and less ambiguous but we're all different.
