I gave myself two weeks to study intensely (wake up at 5am + study for an hour, study 1 hour at lunch break, study for two hours at night after kids go to bed). I took, retook, and took again the ballast and gang chen exams. I did the vignettes over and over 6 or 7 times each.
I had failed BDCS previously with a Level 3 on one of the vignettes and a Level 2 on materials. Right after I failed the exam I read FBC cover to cover. Not sure if that really helped, because it was a good 2-3 months before I took this exam again. I also have two small children and just recently changed jobs. So my life is not slowing down. I just needed to get this hairy beast off my back.
Good luck!
