and according to the trick, i passed. i am going to believe the trick, because so far it has been right 100% of the time.
i am almost in tears. this is my second time taking the exam. the first time, i failed with 265 questions. it was my fault for not studying enough, thinking that i could get by just as easily as i had in nursing school.
this time, it stopped at around 120 questions (i didn't look to see what question i was on before it ended), and i felt at peace as i left the exam room.
not passing the exam in september '09 held my life back for so many months. i wasn't able to contribute the way i was supposed to in the household. i had a job offer at the time that is not available anymore. so, i was stuck in a horrible job (that only became worse) because i needed the $13/hr it provided. my new husband was rightfully angry with me on a daily basis for not preparing. now i am expecting a child and am 6 months pregnant, wondering if anyone will actually hire me before i give birth and take an (unpaid) leave. but------------
but at least, at long last, after months of torture and crying and regret, months of watching my classmates start their new careers as i lagged behind, months of family members putting me down for not having studied enough, after years of breaking my back with a physically demanding and emotionally draining and dehumanizing job with little pay, after so many months of doubting my own intelligence, my own worth.........
i have passed this freakin exam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i, and the little girl in my belly, can move on!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just want to say - thank you to everyone who contributes to this forum. i spent the last few weeks here laughing and crying with all of the apprehensive test-takers out there. you are my support group. and this is, finally, my first contribution.
