Palpitations!!

[rollergirl]

I am scheduled to take boards on Wednesday and I have now started to freak out. I was ok last week, but now that it is three days away I feel like I haven't done enough. I have reviewed the sweatbook twice but I as I go back over it AGAIN I feel like I can't remember it all...there are things I am already forgetting. I panicked last night and ordered the CC review exams and took the first one in 50 minutes and made a passing percentage of 90%. I'm not sure if this makes me feel better or not because I don't know how much this is like boards. My classmate took it last week and he said it was terrible. He said NOTHNG prepared him and he could have taken it 5 months ago and done the same (he passed). Is this a normal feeling? I can't push the test back and my husband will divorce me if this keeps up!!:loco:

All this is absolutely normal and we have all felt the same way.

Bullshit.. I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep during the exam.. back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and you used something called a PENCIL to take it.

Your feelings are totally normal. Go in there and kick ass. Well I got like 60-70% correct on those ccna tests and i passed in 100. so GOOD LUCK, you will be fine.

Thanks ya'll. I feel a little better...I am back with my nose to the grindstone today studying. Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer on Wednesday!

best of luck! Those CC exams, imo, were much more difficult than the actual exam. Just remember what Peppermint Patty (from Peanuts) advises: (goes something like this)......

The first answer in a multiple choice exam is always C.
The second answer is always A
The third answer is never A
If the third answer is B or C, then the fourth answer is the same as the third, however if the third answer is D, then number four is B
The fifth answer is D, unless the fourth answer is D
If you weren't sure about question number 3 and you guessed D, then you might consider answering C for question number 5
(You can never have more than 4 D's in a row, unless it is preceeded by 3 consecutive B's)
(When in doubt, the answer is always C)

Worked for me!

Okay...tomorrow is the day at 0800. I have done the CC reviews and made 90%, 95%, and 95% percent pass probability. If I don't know it by now I can't learn it in the next 14 hours so I think I am done. Time for a glass of wine and some mindless TV...then early to bed and early to rise. If you hear a loud scream from somewhere in south Georgia tomorrow you know I passed....or there will be much sobbing. Says prayers for me please. Thanks ya'll!

Hi,

I just took my board exam last Thursday and passed with 100 Q. I took the core concepts tests the day prior and scored probablility rates of 95, 90, 95. Like you, I was also obsessed with memory master and the sweat book but really can't say anything in them was overtly noticeable on the exam. Honestly, I felt it was a fair exam. Challenging, but nothing too far out there. Go in there and kick some butt :)

[rollergirl]

I...AM...DONE!! I passed with 100 questions and was out of there in about an hour. I didn't think it was too bad. I agree that there was nothing in my exam that came right out of the Sweat Book or Memory Master....that being said, I probably was able to answer most of the questions because I studied them obsessively and knew a lot of details. I felt the CC exams really helped me. The type of questions asked in CC were very similar to those on boards. Now.....MAKE ME PURPLE....please. :-)

[PropofolDiva]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy for you

[EMTRNBSN]

sahweeeeeet!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!

Well I guess this week is my palpitation week. I have been having palpitations now all day as my time draws near. Unbelievable.... I am usually the "ice in the veins" type of person and this dang test have me stressing. I was so nervous today that I took 1 of the CC exam and it gave me a 90% pass probability, wasn't planning on taking any due to lack of funds, oh well................. looking back on the questions, I saw that I made some very very very dumb mistakes but I guess that is why it is called a review. My mantra during the test will be READ THE ENTIRE QUESTION and USE COMMON SENSE!!!!!!
Anyway........................... back to the books!
