Just failed my new member exam- need some encouragement

[AOII Angel]

AOII has a NM exam which is required for initiation, but then again, we have a Membership education exam every year that initiated sisters must pass. All NMs and initiated members, therefore, must show proficiency with AOII history, policies, etc. It's the way we do it. If Kappa and other NPC groups don't want to test their NMs, they don't have to. I think that I would have known my history with or without a test, and I know for a fact that there are AOIIs out there with no knowledge of AOII facts despite the yearly test. It makes us feel like we are doing something...maybe we're getting to those in the middle who may not have learned it without the test, but there's that group that just doesn't care.
