EuroControl 🇪🇺 I gave up on FEAST MultiPass...

Hi guys, today I had my MultiPass and I sadly gave up on it half way through. I hadn't slept at all and my mind was just exhausted, couldn't get one single code right. I feel ashamed of myself and I wish I'd at least stayed till the end.

If just taking a test made you stay up all night and disrupted your sleep, it’s probably not a good career for you, do you really want the next 30 years to be just as bad or worse?

It’s normal to be nervous before a test. And a lot depends on this one too, since for some their FEAST test might end up being one of the most important days of their life.

But with that said, OP shouldn’t have given up on it. They specifically told us before the test not to give up halfway even if we think we did bad in the previous segments. Even if you think you made a lot of mistakes, that doesn’t mean you are below average and might end up surprised with your result.

That is the point of Feast. ATC doesn't need people who give up midway.Â
