Regan, Andrew et all,
You are doing the right thing getting together with a Coach and following the guidelines on the FFI website. It takes practice and perseverance to pass the CI; but the journey is worth the effort. Even if you don't pass. I also failed my first exam. I practiced the problem areas and went back 6 months later and took the exam and passed.--The good news is you have time to become better prepared. Use it wisely!Regards,Ladyfish

I took the CI test on 8 Feb in Crystal River, FL. In short, I did not pass. The test was stopped during the second teaching task (Task 17). Up to that point, I had passed the written exam, passed all the casting tasks (1 - 15), and passed the first teaching task (this was all told to me after the test was over).
During the second teaching task, I just got lost, forgot where I was, and then just started talking too much. The examiners had a sidebar, and then came over to me and announced their decision. I thought it was fair and honest.
The examiners were generous with their feedback on how to solve my errors with the teaching tasks. I am taking that to heart, and I will take the exam again this summer at Livingston Manor in NY.
It would be good for me to work with another, practice the teaching tasks. It would be good for you too, so looks like mutual advantage. We could also critique each other's casting tasks, and the explanations for how a cast is made.
