Sure, first semester it was totally crippling since your entire grade therefore, of course, your entire future, ride on 2 hours at the end of the semester (law students - nothing if not dramatic, ha!). Now? I'm all "meh" and just go in and take them. That said, the Bar Exam this summer is resurrecting a wee bit of nerves, ha! :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397176667036107115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-2751853009563175602011-04-17T09:00:18.153-05:002011-04-17T09:00:18.153-05:00Sheesh, if everyone followed your test taking prac...Sheesh, if everyone followed your test taking practices, they would pass with flying colors. You are such a dedicated studier! It seems a bit inappropriate that multiple people would say worrisome things to you as you're going to take the test. I'm usually a pretty terrible test taker. I HATE sitting for too long and often start overanalyzing each question, which is often bad. So then I debate two answers for a long time. At the end of those standardized tests, I often felt pretty stupid. Hopefully, whenever I Do take the GREs, I'll be able to do it with a much more calm and focused approach just bc I'm a little more mature and settled in life overall. <br /><br />I love how you treated your day. Perfect combo of work and relaxation. Mexican + running shoes + coffee (minus more studying) is right up my alley. ;)Lauren @ Sassy Molassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386991766331711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-7775508618692313542011-04-14T23:59:18.728-05:002011-04-14T23:59:18.728-05:00I am so so so proud of you, Lisa!

I am so excited for JUNE to be here!<br /><br />I don't get nervous about tests, actually. In fact, I kind of enjoy test taking? When I took my NCLEX, the people kept making comments about how nervous I should be - I was like "Can I just go in there and take this test already??" <br /><br />So happy for you!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854266979976413979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-32500473706892296122011-04-14T22:28:15.909-05:002011-04-14T22:28:15.909-05:00I am so incredibly proud of you, lady.

I know I'll need to take a few tests for work in the months to come, but I've kind of been putting it off for fear of failing. Luckily I am a pretty good test taker. That's always been my strength since in general I suck at studying.

I also have a habbit of flipping to the middle of an exam and starting instead of at the beginning. No idea why but it seems to help.

Well, considering it's been...SO PROUD OF YOU! <br /><br />Well, considering it's been about six months since my last exam I don't really remember... generally speaking no test anxiety. I went with what I knew, didn't worry about what I didn't and did my best. I would tend to get a titch nervous, but I think that's only natural! Some of the exams in my MBA program (ahem, finance, accounting) were challenging for me but thanks to amazing helpers/friends (ahem, you) I actually understood what I was doing before the exams! <br /><br />Again, SO happy you havve this one behind you.
