I went through an extreme amount of mental warfare and questioned if this was even for me during the first couple of parts. Hang in there. I am more than willing to offer any help I can to questions asked.
Is there a condensed list of all standards covered by CIA part? I do not want to focus on standards not covered on this section but I can not find a list of the standards covered on part 3
Just got my score back from part 3 and I failed with a 566. Not super far but not super close either. All 4 sections say moderately improve.
I am using gleim and am getting 85-90 on every practice test. I bought the practice tests from the IIA and got a 90 and 83 on those.
I had chat gpt extensively test me on all topics in the materials as well.
When it came to the actual exam I felt like there was a lot of topics I did not see in my study materials nor had a practice question on.
Any suggestions on what resource I can use to get over the hump here? I feel like the materials in gleim didn’t fully prepare me as I excelled on all the practice tests available and I don’t want to keep reading the same materials I already have a good understanding on.
Looking for topics and resources I can use for my next try.
First day my wife and I caught a bunch of perch on some live worms. And can continue to do so basically whenever. We wanted to start catching some bigger fish so I rigged up a couple of senkos whacky Rig style and we immediately caught a great 4lb bass. It’s been over 2 weeks and we fish every day and have yet to catch anything else. I have fished all times during the day and even at night. I’ve used too water, chatter baits, whacky rig, Texas Rig, and drop shot.
For a description of the pond there is no grass or pads on top. About 6-10 ft deep depending where you are. Water is not clear nor murky. We constantly see what looks to be choupique(crappie) swimming at the top of the water. And when I say constant it’s 20-30 times in a 30 minute span. I’ve seen a gar or 2 as well. The pond has a ton of fish and even if we can’t catch more bass I figured something else would hit our line Atleast once and absolutly nothing!
Any suggestions? Have the fish wisened up? Or should I be using something different? There no way it was dumb luck to catch a nice sized bass immediately with the amount of perch and other fish in there.
I know it’s called fishing not catching or whatever they say but I just wanna see if I could maybe help me chances. I caught a nice 4 lb bass a couple days ago on a whacky Rig. The pond I’m at is very active with fish and I see them hitting all over and fins coming out of the top of the water often. I’ve tried both top water whopper plopper and both a watermelon color and dark blue color Senko and haven’t caught anything else. Am I just getting unlucky to not get any additional hits when the fish are clearly feeding? Any other ideas I may be doing wrong?
