I have never felt so darn cruddy! I had done okay on my Kaplan tests... in the 60% range. I sat for my boards on Saturday @ 11:30. I didn't sleep a wink the night before and my kids decided that 430am was going to be my wake up call. I drove 2 hours to my test pumping the old caffine. I sat down at the test center at the computer and could feel my heart beating right out of my chest:heartbeat. I thought I was doing really grea. One math, 3 delegations and 5 or so SATA! I was so excited to get to 75 knowing that my computer would shut off and to my disbelief it did not:uhoh3:. I raised my hand and took a break:smokin:. From that point on I was so uncertain if I was going to be one of thse 265er's. I think I blew it after 75 becuase my heart was set on it. :cry: I hope to find my results out soon!! I'll keep checking the vue web site.

TO ALL TEST TAKERS: Don't do what I did:banghead:. Don't set your heart on 75 questions:nono: becuase you never really know how many you are going to get and what it all means. Go in ready to do the 265-no less and think of it as a blessing:bowingpur if your computer shuts off before hand.

Stay positive, all that are waiting for results....... although I know all way to well that it is easier said than done.:p

We have all made it this far and that say a ton in itself:redpinkhe.

i think it was very smart of you to take a break at 75....if you had kept going without that break you might have totally blown your concentration. that was a smart response to a very stressful situation! good luck with your wait!
