Hi, im taking mine on the 31st i dont know what to advise u wat to study coz i need an advice myself too. but for ur hubby maybe u a more open communication, have u tried telling him what u feel? if not so, try it, boys are boys u know, sometimes they are insensitive but they are still human and i know he will understand, why dont u go out, have a date for one night talk about this fighting thing, but u need someone to take care of ur kid, and one more when u will aome at the point that u had enough of him and i hope u will not just remember the day when and how u fell inlove with him, hope this will help u in someways, God Bless to US

Talk to your husband about the stress you are going through. Eat well, sleep enough, use the tools available: a baby sitter, rent a hotel room. Study in short bursts, do not repeat what u read out loud, bring earplugs to the test and use them when you study. Make sure your daily schedule will be the same as when you are taking the test; if you get up to study at 3 am, do the same on your test day. If you sleep at 9 pm-do the same on your test day. Eat foods that enhance memory-blue berrys is one. Constantly go back and forth to the material to be studied-do not do marathon study sessions. You retain more if you study in short bursts and come back to it more often-greater times exposed to something is better than a longer time being exposed to someing at one time. When you take your test-85% of the time, the first answer is the right-changed answers are wrong 85% of the time. I have more if interested, on test taking, stress, and family ,management.
