I wanted to become a judge. I didn't pass the exam. I didn't have enough time to study and I'll get another chance next year now I don't know what to do...I"m really confused.I don't think I'll be capable to study a whole year in order to pass it. I was wondering if being a judge is really what I want to do. I was really disappointed

If being a judge is really what you want then, you should not give up. Don't let failure let you down. Remember that there is no winning for those who quits.

I know. I won;t denny that I was really disappointed with the result on the test but I guess it wasn;t my best day. I know I could have done more. it's alot of work. if I start studying now I know I'll have plenty of time in order to pass the test. but right know I don't really know what I want

if you were so disappointed then maybe your really do want it, dont give up and keep studying. in a year you can do a lot, and you can keep us up to date to reassure you that you can do it!!

I guess I need a motivation, something that would make me work harder. It's really hard to pass that exam and i was really disappointed. now I'm confused. I don't know if that's really what I want. you have to study alot and if you finish you won't get the money to compensate your effort. so i don't know if it's worth it

You really should carry on with your dream. You still want to become a judge, to fail an exam is not reason enough to stop your dream. Many people would like to have even one oportunity and never get it, but you have your second one. If you don't use this one too, you will carry with your doubts during the rest of your life: would I have passed the second exam? Could I have been a judge? Please don't throw your oportunity so easily away. Of course you can study during a whole year. What do you think that you have been doing during the last years to get there where you are now? Maybe you have been nervous, now you have seen one exam as a sample, you have enough time now, so what you should do is organize your time and the material you have to study and carry on. It's only a mental attitude to overcome your fear. Imagine yourself realizing the exam and passing it. Imagine yourself working already as a judge. Realize the exam thinking that you already passed it. With a positiv attitude and studying every day bit by bit, you will see that you are able to realize all your dreams. And good luck!

First of all, you need to decide if this was really a dream for you, or just a wish. And you must decide if this dream can be achieved or not. If both of your answers will be yes, then you should never give up following your dream(s), because eventually they will fulfill. At least this is my perspective. Wish you will have a great introspection and make the best decision for yourself. The first one must be answered by your heart, the second one by your brain.

I think you should just cut your loses and move on. I am sure there is something else you could do and be happy with. If you keep trying, you could end up wasting a lot of time for nothing. Just become an accountant or something, it's pretty much the same thing.

it's not really the same. all of my friends told me that I should fight for I want and that this job is perfect for me. the problem is right now that I don't really know if I want it anymore. I guess I should put things in order, clear my mind and decide what I want.

I think you should continue pursuing your dream. Nit everything can be achieved with just one try or two. Sometimes it takes more than that. Just keep believing in yourself, work hard to get your dream/goal and don't lose hope. Most importantly (if you're Christian because I am) pray. That, for me, is one of the most powerful tool.

I'm christian yes. and you're right with God's help I can achieve what I want. there is no doubt that I should work hard because He can't do all the work. maybe you're right. I guess one thing like this shouldn't determine me to stop
