I thought I would take a minute to send a message to the folks getting ready to sit for Level I based on my experience last year.
A few days before:
By now you are probably exhausted and extremely nervous. You have been taking practice exams and fretting over the scores themselves and also how they compare to others. Last year I failed the Mock with a 67 just 5 days prior to the exam. On the exam, I passed with >70 on all subject areas.
There were a couple of areas that by this time last year I just "conceded". I did not waste final review time on low probability difficult subjects when I could reinforce and review middle and strong areas. This was a cost/benefit decision.
During the test:
Befor you start...relax...all the answers are on this test.
After answering the first 3 questions, I went back and changed two of them. I found that I was too hyped up and not reading the questions properly. So, I slowed down and let the answers come to me. Remember all this info is in your head...you just have to recall it. If you can't, guess and move on.
You will find easy questions and impossible ones. Don't let yourself get too high or too low. Pace yourself and move on through. Periodically check the time and try to stay on pace...you can always go back...but you have to get through this thing on time.
Between sessions:
Everyone was talking about this question and that question. Everyone was saying how hard or easy it was going. Don't listen to any of that. Don't try to review. This is your time to rest your head. You will need more stamina in session 2, trust me. Don't second guess anything you did.
After the exam:
You will be exhausted. Get together with some people and get drunk and tell horror stories about the experience. But don't question your answers. Every question I heard referenced or that I remembered myself I was sure I screwed up. I kept telling myself, "Crap...missed that one." A lot.
Waiting for results:
Get to know your family and friends again. Forgive yourself for all the time you could have spent studying but didn't...the procrastinations. It's over. It's a long wait. When you click on the link you will be freaking.
Click the link, something might have just gone right. |
