Nov 29, 200916 yr Author great job!!!!!!! congrats:yeah:wish me luck, i will be taking it next sat.rachagood luck! the questions were pretty straight forward.
Nov 29, 200916 yr Author congrats:yeah: u got thisthanks!how is it going with lifespan 2? i hope you're progressing.tiffany, you took lifespan 3 and transitions already, right?do you think it would be wise for me to study both at the same time and take them one day apart in 3 weeks? or should i just focus on one exam at a time just like what i have been doing?and another thing, what did you use for transitions? i have both sg101 and lisaarends. are they enough for transitions? i have never used the recommended books for all the exams i've taken but maybe i need to for transitions because i don't have to use critical thinking on that one?sorry for so many questions. thanks!please anybody with suggestions are welcome to comment. thank you.angel
Nov 29, 200916 yr i just used the sg101 and the practice tests...brushed up on the prominent figures from the reading. i studied for about 2 solid weeks for that one and came out with a b...how long did you focus on repro? i have been procrastinating something terrible on this one! is sg101 enough for this one? arg! i need some motivation here!
Nov 30, 200916 yr @ Agldragon, I'm testing on Mon 12/7 due to me rescheduling again, my daughter had a BMT 9/15/09 and she has been in the hosp pretty much all of Nov so I haven't really been studying and my nerves keep getting the best of me. Lifespan 3, I used SG101 & Lisa arends and they were on the money and for Transitions I used SG101 but it only helped a little, I read some of the textbooks and the practice exam (transitions), and prayed. The practice exam for Lifespan 3 was helpful too.
Nov 30, 200916 yr @ Agldragon I would advise you to tackle 1 at a time but everybody's approach is different, to me Transitions is tricky because it don't require critical thinking just straight forward answers. I prayed for a C, I studied for a week and a half after taking Lifespan 3.

Nov 30, 200916 yr thanks! i feel like i'm self-sabotaging here, i was on such a roll, then i just stopped! i don't know what my problem is, but if i don't kick it up a notch, the ls series and repro are going to stand in my way for a long, long time! so, that said, i believe i will study hard the next 2 weeks and get this sucker on the books...merry christmas to me! one more test, going down!!!
with a b. yay.........
i can see the light.
:yeah:
two exams left. on to lifespan 3...
