Anyone have anything they wear when they take the exam? Me, I wear my “lucky” shirt. I’ve passed 3 out of 4 times I’ve worn it. I think I will wear it as an under shirt when I got to check my grade on Tuesday.
I've been wearing the same shirt I wore for finals in college. 🙂 Sometimes it's the little comforts that can help keep your stress manageable on the day-of.
Yes! I have just established my specific pants and shirt…that is a good idea about wearing it on score release day too…although confusing when it can't make up its mind. I am glad I am not the only one. 🙂
I didnt necessarily wear the same clothes but I had some crazy traditions, more centered around food now that I think about it. Went to the same restaurant the night before…ate the same thing….same breakfast place day of, again the same thing, same starbucks. Did all of that give me the optimum nutrient balance to take the CPA exam? Probably not but it sure was tasty and kind of fun
I also follow the same pre-test routines that I established with my first pass in July – same prometric, using the same parking lot entrance, same starbucks, etc.
I even took all my sections in the same lab at my prometric, except for FAR (too bad you can't choose). I get my FARscore tomorrow, and I'm worried about it because I didn't take it in my lucky lab! haha
My ritual is checking my score on only my black gateway laptop. I'm 3 for 3 so far when checking with it. If I check my score with anything else (ie ipad, iPhone, or any other computer I failed). I pray that this trend continues. I thought I was the only weird one here lol
Haven't worn “lucky attire” yet. But for my first test, I walked into prometric and they assigned me computer #13. I am not normally a superstitious guy, but I couldn't help but gulp when she told me my computer number.
