I’m just looking back over tests I have taken at this point and understanding as much as I can of what I’ve done wrong and right over these past ~8 or so weeks. A couple entertaining tidbits:

1. If I would just learn how to READ, I would have gotten so many more questions right! I have this tendency to think I will run out of time so I don’t read all of the information presented and sure enough there is something that I overlooked in my rush.

2. Perhaps more tragically, there is an elephant in the room

me. I feel like such a cow after all of this time not having been able to work out or do any physical activity aside from walking upstairs to get food between studying.

Overall, I feel pretty good. Nothing more I can do to turn anything around at this point. I might just have a shot! 4.5 hours till it goes down.

@Jimbo, someone on this forum used to have for their signature “READ THE COCKADOODLE QUESTION!” So now every time I get a question wrong because I didn't READ the question, I yell that out loud. Just saying. Good luck today! Report back on your experience, I'm sure you will 😛 You got this!

@jimbo Make sure you have a light lunch. I had a panini from panera its was great. Dont drink too many fluids. The last thing you want is too lose time. So stop drinking at about 1030 or so. My exam was at 12. Also breath. Try to relax your body a little so that you dont tense up during the exam. I am such a mom. lol

Good Luck! Rock that test!

I cant wait for this to be over.

Totally normal for a first test. I thought FAR was really tough and had no idea how I did when I left the test center. I actually feel kinda similar (maybe a little bit worse) about AUD. FAR worked out for me so I am hoping AUD does too. Good luck!! The wait and the second guessing are horrible. Ugh.
