Well it's all over! I really wanted to summarize my thoughts about the exam right after it was over but it has been a busy week! Luckily, right after the exam I made a few key points about my thoughts so that I would be able to remember them.
I finished the exam with over an hour left but decided not to go and try to change all of my answers. Just as we were told there were 65 questions with 5 questions that were unmarked (therefore, we are able to get about 18 wrong :) ) The exam seemed a lot more simple than the practice questions (but that might not be a good thing!!). I wouldn't necessarily call the exam difficult but rather tricky and I also found that it was easy to eliminate 2 answers and then had to chose between two questions (50-50 chance, right?). I used the SCORE method with most of the questions but others I just eliminated the obviously wrong answers and did some analysis with notes but primarily I used SCORE and even forced myself to evaulate it with questions that I wanted to pick the answer right away.
I'm really glad that I packed the night before and brought essentials (my cherry lip butter from the body shop even came in handy!). My hair was bothering me because I work it in a headband with my bangs out in the front (kind of like Lauren Conrad wears alot) so I had to put it up in a pony tail and push my bangs back with the headband. I really think I get too comfortable when it's time to get down to work! But anyway, my point is the morning was very stress free because I packed my pencil case and essentials the night before. Being prepared helps!
Okay, so two months away for the results (I think that is insane!). So maybe in July I will update this blog with an update and then hopefully I will be updating about the receritification process (fingers crossed!!!).
