i also wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone and good luck to anyone still waiting on scores!
I know that the only person you take the exam for is yourself, and even though I really looked forward to being able to tell all those who supported me that I was finally done (or apologize to all those who put up with my nightmarish behavior the past year-primarily, my boyfriend, poor guy), the absolute best feeling was the sense of personal achievement I had when I saw my score. All the long hours I put in, the moments of self-doubt when I felt like I couldn't handle the pressure and the amount of studying that is required, and the feelings of guilt for the quality time I missed spending with my family and friends-they all seemed worth it when I got that last passing score. I feel like this was one of the hardest goals to achieve in my life, and I am so happy that I stuck with it and believed in myself in the end.
Good luck to everyone that is working on exams-the feeling you will have when you are done will be well worth it!
