Been cramming for a little over a week, and tested today with the same VEs I saw when I first took my tech test almost 5 years ago.  It wasn't pretty, but I passed, and that's all that counts!

That's all that matters.

My VE's told me that yo dont get a gold star next to your call if you get a 100. Both perfect score and barely passing are both called Amateur Extra

Congrats

Congrats from another /AE.
Passed today at one Field Day site just off the Blue Ridge Parkway and went to our club's FD about 30 miles up the Parkway.  
I got real lucky.  I got the test set without all the polar coords and questions about phase angles.  Didn't even take a calculator in with me.

After years of such great advice and conversations on this forum I can't wait to see the depth & quality of that special extra forum once I get access.

Con-Grats!
It doesn't have to be pretty.    You have to get 37 and when I took mine I got 37.
Down here in the EXTRA subbands we sign with our call, not our score.

Congrats on the Extra!  

What Piccolo said.  The don't give you a smiley face and a gold sticker if you score 100%.  A pass is
a pass.  But hey, that's all you have to do!

Have fun on the bands!

I just got back from my test and got my /AE, too. No math on mine, I  didn't even open the calculator.

Hamtestonline was the bulk of my study time, though I did use the ARRL license manual, the KB6NU No-Nonsense and AD7FO's syllabus.

No, not in a pubic forum.

Will you use /AE <-- the suffix

Likely not as Im not on HF right now, and I would only need to use /AE if I'm using the extra allocated frequencies.
