I could not pass the section 7 on the first 3 attempts. Exam locked. 60 days later, my 4th and 5th attempts on section 7 failed again. I only have one more attempt left before the exam locks again. The problem is that I can't figure out what is wrong with my answer choices. I have reviewed the module more than 4 times and attended the boot camp and reviewed the video 3 times. I copied and saved all the questions on Word. I still can't figure out what is wrong. The feedback on the exam does not help. On my first attempt, it only gave me two lists of what I need to review. However, from 2rd to 5th attempts, it gave me 5 to 6 lists of things that I need to review. This is after I changed the answer choices that I thought that it might have been wrong.

Can someone please shed some light on?

FYI: Passed all the other sections. I am not a genius, but I am a good test taker.

I've taken over 50 college classes with two degrees, countless occupational certificates. Spent the last twenty years as a professional student. These are by far the worst written tests I have ever seen. The questions are convoluted, the answers are sometimes identical and often two are equally as correct. There are several options of study material which do not discuss what the questions on the tests actually ask. I'm very disappointed in Intuit and this sad excuse to try and help us learn more about their system.

I agree I did the quickbooks certification proadvisor and the only section I failed at is section 3. It really isn't helpfull when all it says on the review before retaking the test is the topic you need to review. What part of the answer was wrong and which answer was wrong. I took it two times the first time I got a 70% the second I got a 60% the topics on the section isn't enough we need to know what questions we got wrong and what questions we got right in order to pass

I did the training 4 times! That's right, 4 times I went through the training. I took the exams a total of 3 complete times. Failed 2 sections on all 3 attempts, then failed 1 secont on all 3 attempts. I finally passed on the 3rd try. I copy/pasted every single question and the options I picked and what all options were offered. Who ever wrote these exams is an absolute a moron. There are questions NEVER covered in any of the training, I know, I had the questions with answer options and looked through the complete training and they are NEVER covered. There are some questions were 2 options are correct but they only allow you to select one, so which one do they state is correct?

There is no reason whatsoever that any of there certifications should be this crazy hard or impossible due to the people that created them using NEVER covered topics and trying to be sly on the way they state the question and answers. This is about the product, as specific questions about the product with 1 fully correct answer, or if you are doing the silly what 2, 3, or 4 are correct make sure they are fully correct.

In addition, USE THE SAME TERMINOLOGY used in the TRAINING in the EXAM. Multiple places I found they called things different in the EXAM than in the training.

Intuit needs to fix these exams to be correct because whoever did them had no clue what they were doing when they created them.

I've been using & teaching QB for 30 years! I was one of the first people in the Pro Advisor program. I have NEVER seen an exam like this one. It's designed to frustrate and intentionally demoralize those who know this software exceptionally well. It's just another example of how Intuit is changing everything and throwing away one of its most valuable assets... the Pro Advisors who have supported this software for so long.

Amen.

I'm pissed!
