My FAR retake is this Friday (20th). I woke up this morning and my ears and throat are beginning to ache. They don’t really hurt yet, but they feel different.

I know this feeling.

There is pressure in my ears and my throat, while not sore, is hypersensitive. It scares me that I’m coming down with something, but I don’t know what it is. I’m prone to sinus infections (had 2 in the past 12 months) which required a couple weeks worth of antibiotics, but I can’t tell if that’s what it is or just allergies.

I tend to get sick between semesters. I think this is because I’m high stress for several months and then when school lets out, my stress level drops dramatically so my body reacts by allowing it to get sick or something. Well, over this holiday break, I haven’t gotten sick but my stress level hasn’t dropped because I’ve been studying for this retake. So I’m afraid my immune system is catching up to me. And now is not the time. The same thing happened when I took the GMAT (I had the flu) but that test was easy so it wasn’t a big deal. This IS a big deal.

Should I take DayQuil or something like that? Allergy meds? Vitamins? Or what? I need to hold off sickness until this Friday. After that, it can have me! I just need until Friday!!!

@Lilla Thank you for the response! I apologize for not getting back to it yesterday. I read it but forgot to reply 🙂 I'm feeling just fine now which is always good but will keep up the vitamins until exam day just to be on the safe side! I appreciate your breakdown analysis as well lol!

@Small4 If I was feeling sick still or worse, I would DEFINITELY be taking DayQuil or something of the sorts. But luckily I'm feeling normal so I think I will just keep up on my vitamins! I'm just averaging about 80 mcqs a day right now for the past couple days but I have been doing more sims. I don't want to overdo it and I can tell I'm beginning to get burnt out. My brain doesn't want to read the questions and just looking at it makes me want to vomit haha.

I notice your scores and your study plan in your signature. Would you mind reviewing my stats and seeing what you think? I did CPAexcel only on my first go around. This time I've literally only done ninja mcq and sims with Wiley test bank sprinkled in here and there but I feel more prepared. I hope I am more prepared and it isn't just false hope. I completed all of the questions once in ninja and have 250 or so left until I hit review but I doubt I am going to get through all of those in the next two days because of focus on creating a cheat sheet for myself to review the morning before I take my exam, sims, and prior engagements outside of studying I have to deal with for most of tomorrow.
