PPD exam (likely) failure
Just took my PPD exam and got the dreaded "likely fail," and I'm struggling to understand where I went wrong. I took the practice exam and passed. The questions on the practice didn't seem too difficult for me, so I was feeling confident going into the actual exam. Maybe I just got a really hard set of questions, but it seemed like there were a lot of PDD-related questions that I was not prepared for. Did anyone have this issue? I'm still waiting on the final results so maybe I did actually pass?

Hi Amanda! Sorry about the failure. Usually the preliminary result is the result. Unfortunately I never heard the actual result being different. The PPD practice exam is a bit misleading in my opinion because it is very easy. PPD is in between PA and PDD exams so there will always be some overlap between these three. In some versions the exam may look more like PDD and in some others it may be closer to PA but there is no way of knowing so you need to be prepared. This is why I always recommend people to solve all PA and PDD questions while studying for the PPD exam. If you can maybe share what you studied for PPD so far, I can offer more help on what to study next. I am sure others would contribute more accurately too. But PPD is a very hard exam to pass in general (it has the lowest pass rate) so don’t be too hard on yourself. You will pass this exam eventually. You may need to change your study approach a little bit.
Good luck!
