Columbia Waiver Exams...

Has anyone taken the stats and/or research methods waiver exams? If so how were they?

I haven't personally taken the stats waiver exam but I was considering it until one of my smartest friends said it was almost impossible to pass. She studied for 3 months and still wasn't able to pass, and she said she spoke with others who took it and they said that not many people pass. She said the book they recommend to study was really unhelpful when it came to applying the material to the actual exam. She spoke with people who are also currently enrolled in the stats class and they said they don't know of many people who've been able to earn the waiver, so I'm not even going to bother taking the exam lol. But if you want to give it a try, definitely go for it. Math is my weakest point so I already know I would probably not do well in the exam haha.
