    11:00 EST.

    It gives me enough time to get up, read through the notes one time (about 3 hours), and eat breakfast.

    How many hours of sleep per night is everyone getting? I need to sleep in one of these days so I'm well rested for the exam, but I am running on 5-6 hours a night right now. Maybe I will just push on through the exam and crash on Tuesday night, sleeping until noon or later on Wednesday. The best part about it will be knowing that I don't have a damn thing to do ALL day, except golf and eat a good dinner! I may even watch a movie! ((((gasp))))

    What does everyone do after sitting for a section of an exam? I find it kind of funny, but I do the exact same thing every time!

    @Idrathergolf – I have been getting about 9 – 10 hours of sleep every night lol because I have had time off from work!! I tend to go to bed really late and sleep pretty late. After an exam driving home from it I call my really good friend and my boyfriend and let them know how it went and then I call my parents. I usually am thinking about the exam for a few days afterwards and SOMETIMES even look up some of the answers!! lol

    After a few days though, I let it go haha and since FAR is my last exam…I will do NOTHING for the month of sept until we get our scores. Usually…I have always started studying for my next section and never felt 100% relaxed.

    That is the part I am looking forward to most…. the fact that we will have 20-25 days of NOT studying. Can it be true?!

    After I take a section of the exam I will immediately go to my car, open my book, and try to find answers to the few questions I can remember (horrible, i know). I typically then just get in my car and start driving. No radio, no telephone. Complete silence for at least 30 minutes. As lame as it sounds I then go hit golf balls for an hour or two.

    MPoni that is good that you still have open lines of communication with your friends/family after the exam! It really helps to have a good support group.

    Idrathergolf – ya my family is very supportive of me! you know that kind of supportive when they know I am not studying that they become really annoying and say I should be studying?! haha they are THAT kind of supportive.

    After my BEC exam I had a HUGE headache because I was focusing so hard and my adrenaline was pumping pretty much all day (my exam was at 4 p.m.) I just drive back to my apartment because by the time I get out of my exams..everything is closed! lol

    Normally schedule the exam for 11:00 am CST – the test site is about 30 min w/o traffic. So rush hour traffic could mean anywhere from 45 – an hour and a half. The route I take is on one of the heaviest freeways in Houston.

    I don't look up questions after the test. Stopped that in college. I would always think I had done something wrong. and worry over it. Typically that was not what I had actually gotten wrong.

    I like to visit my sister in law on the way home. She is always doing something interesting. Later I like to have a good dinner and relax. Normally I can start studying the next day. When scores are due to be released it is tough. Very hard to buckle down and just study.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hey guys, Noon here in the east. Have to say that I have not accomplished much this morning… Cleaned the house lol, I think I do that every weekend before my exam.

    @MPoni, where are you in the studying process? we should set goals for ourselves and then check back with eachother and tell how we did. Example, Review modules 11-13 and do the Min MCQ's, check back @ X:XX…

    -If any one else wants to do this I am game! it will give me something to shoot for rather than 8:00Am on Tuesday… I would like to have done through Module 17 in Yaeger today… Then do 19,20, and 21 tomorrow by @ like 2… Then I can do some Wiley Software questions/practice test.

    Afternoon Trevor.

    I did not complete my goal last night. I studied for about an hour and then decided it was not productive study so I decided to go to bed and get up early to resume. The problem was I stopped drinking coffee too early!

    I have logged 2 hours and 45 minutes so far this morning, but I am still behind schedule due to last evenings desire to sleep. Doing laundry on the side right now. I have a tee-time in a little while so I will stop studying soon and resume around 9 or 10 tonight.

    What are your goals for the day?
