    I hope that you will like this video, get some information about the USA Step-On Exam's resources, and be able to pass this exam like me. Thank you.

      Just say "I haven't passed yet." Don't take it as a failure but see it as a learning opportunity. There is a lot of power in "Yet", you are telling yourself that you will get there and that your eyes and heart are still fixed on your goal.
