Chickened out newbie

Hi Cindy,
Everyone has a different method that works for them. For me it was to saturate myself with the material over a shorter, more intense period. Most tests I took after a week and two of very intense nightly study. If I spread things out too much, I have a tendency to drift and get sidetracked. Along the way I also scheduled and took tests that I felt I may be inadequately prepared for. In the end, I passed them alll, although with different degrees of effort and result. After a while, you'll be able to gauge your readiness. I did pretty much follow the guidance of Instacert and the feedback forum this forum. You won't know until you try, and you won't try until you stand up to the emotion that can paralyze us all. Fear is that big stop sign that will always hold us back. Only you can take the steps to walk through your fear. What we represent are the people, just like you, that had the same fears, but put one foot in front of the other until our dream of a degree came to fruition.
Good luck on your journey!
