Most feels like they failed when they come out of the testing centre, Hang in there and try to relax whilst you wait for your results. Good luck

The same for me.. i have to wait for a month to receive my result. My exam was really really hard i dont know if i answered them correctly. It seems all the answers were correct. Good luck to us.

I understand what you all are thinking as well. I took my test yesterday in Ohio at 8am. I think I had 4 simple math problems.. I did have 4 or 5 of the pick all that apply. I think my last question was pick all that apply. And I KNOW I didn't get that question right. Those are the worst for me. Hopefully those are the "testing" questions? The thing that scares me is that I didn't feel like my other questions were that hard. In the middle of my test I get a nutrition question that was really easy and basic and I was thinking, "well.. I must have just bombed that last question because now I am getting easy questions." I looked a few questions up when I got home and some were wrong and some were right. I have a really good short term memory for what was on tests, not that I test great, but I can really remember what was on them. I just don't know what is considered easy and hard questions. I was an average student.. mostly B's and some A's. My friends that were 4.0 students had more than 75 questions and my test stopped at 75. I was thinking surely with the fact my questions weren't crazy hard that I was going to have more questions than 75. Sorry I am rambling, but I can't stop thinking about this test. I was the first one in the testing room and the first to leave with testing time taking 1 hour and 30 minutes. I looked at the screen at 75 and hit enter and the screen went blank, I was thinking, "that's IT?, I need more questions to prove myself!" I guess I would have felt better if I got 265 questions. I feel like if you get more questions, you were in the running- you weren't failing.

babyjulez- After seeing that you have to wait a month for your results, I feel pretty stupid complaining about not getting mine for 3 days. Anyway, it's really hard waiting. I feel like my family is counting on me -- it's been a long haul, many hours, lots of sacrifice! Now it all boils down to 1 test that took 1.5 hours!

JC - Good luck to you man. Let us know how you did. . Just pray and ask God what you want because He will not fail us. He's always there. I know how you feel, i took the exam last friday and it made me lethargic. lol. I took 78 questions for 3hrs! IMAGINE, 3hrs just for 78 questions and to think if i didnt stop at 78, and i would go for 265 i will be out of time then. Lets not lose hope for "I can do all things through JESUS CHRIST who strengthen me." - Philippians 4:13

JC-- im pretty sure you did well on your test. you're lucky that you can get your results in less than a week. california testers have to wait a long while...its only been a week and im sooo scared...i know how you feel about family counting on me...i have a little family of my own and they're counting on me. talk about pressure... but i hope everything will come out fine for the both of us! good luck! ;)
