I’m 9 days out from my first section I thought for sure these last couple of weeks would fly by, as in I would be panicking and wishing I had 2 more weeks to study. But I find that time is moving sooooo slowly and I am just ready to get this over with.

I'm 4 days away for my exam and I can't tell if i'm ready or not! It sucks! I just want to take it and get it over with! I love that feeling after you walk out of it and its like wow finally done! But few hours later its like damn I still have two more! lol

If you think the week before your exam drags on and on, wait until the week before score release! Time stands still like nothing you have experienced before!

@mla1169

People taking the exams for the 1st time this quarter don't even know what it's like to wait until the END of the quarter for ALL of the scores…

I think I find the week before to pass by a little too quickly for me. After that, though…wish time would fly. Maybe it'll be different now with scores being released more quickly.

Hopefully your anxiety to take the exam means you've had the time to go through the material enough to feel comfortable with it. I, personally, haven't had more than 2-3 weeks to study for each part so I always feel like I want more time but end up cramming the few days before anyway. Good luck on your first part. Your worst enemy is yourself. Don't try and gauge your performance during the exam or worry about anything but reading the questions carefully and thinking clearly. Each exam is difficult in a different way for different people, but by far the most useful advice is to stay calm so you can think! You would be surprised as the weird stuff they ask sometimes and how right multiple answer choices can seem. Good luck!

@mla1169 – I know! I am so dreading that! At least I'll be busy getting ready for Christmas so hopefully that will take my mind off of it. Plus I only have to wait for about 10 days or less for scores. I don't know how you guys ever waited so long for scores.

@see pee a – thanks for your great advice!
