An all day affair

February 12th, 2010 at 11:58 pm

Well now its just a waiting game. I think DH wasn't prepared for it to be an all day affair, by 4 pm he was calling me like crazy and I didn't answer cause I was on my way home and couldn't hear the phone.

I left the house at 7:30 and got to the place by 8:30... I didn't know what traffic would be like and its 40-50 miles away so I figured it'd be better to be on the safe side.

I don't know when I started the test, my appointment was at 10 but I went early and was back in my car by 1:30. I finished with just 5 minutes to spare and I just hope I passed.

I didn't anticipate being crunched for time but towards the end I saw that I had only a 50 minutes for 2 simulations, so I went as fast as I could through them to make sure that I answered everything (I figured it was better to answer everything vs leaving some stuff unanswered).

Only part I really question is the one simulation part... just one of the tabs... but I hope I at least did well enough on everything else that I still pass.

After that, I drove to my co-worker's house. I had never met her before but she lived really close to the testing center, so I spent about an hour and a half there.

Then left her house at 3:30 pm and didn't get home till 5:15 or so cause DH wanted me to pick up milk.

Of course at this time since I didn't call, he's freaking out asking why I never called. But really, as soon as I got back in my car I programmed my Garmin to take me home and just went cause I wanted to miss rush hour traffic.

Plus its a stick shift & I'm not confident about driving while talking on the phone with a standard.

So I'm just now starting to relax, but I feel like it went okay. I tried my best so whether I pass or fail, I did my best.

That said, the questions were soooo different than what I saw on Becker. I kept seeing the screens and thinking... is this next module easier? harder? To gauge how I was doing (the test is supposed to give you an easier testlet if you aren't doing well on the previous one)... and I really couldn't tell. They all seemed the same.

    It sounds like you did your best! When will you know your results? When I took my Series 6 exam, I knew immediately following the test, since it was all computerized.

    You got off easy - back in the day it was a 16-hour test. (All at once!) Plus all the traveling...

    I am sure you did just fine!

    How long until you get results?

    March? April? This part I'm not sure of.

    You are taking more tests in the interim, right? Just assume you did well. It sucks to study for more tests not knowing the results, I am sure! Think positive!

    Yeah, I'm going to start studying for auditing next week. Figure I'll take a week break in between... with all this studying - my house has become a disaster area. So I've been doing lots of cleaning and organizing in the meantime. Goal is to take Auditing the first week of April, if I have to retake FAR then re-take it mid-April and take REG last part of May... then BEC in early July

    Keeping my fingers crossed I passed... but can't really say if I think I passed or not. I really feel 50/50 *shrug*
