Any tips for getting back on track? - jax - 12-28-2008
Help! I completed 9 exams in 5 weeks while working a full time job and then... I failed ECE Bioethics
and since then (3 weeks ago) I have not been able to get back into study and test mode. Not sure if I am afraid of failing or just lost my groove but any pointers would be of great help.

Step 1 - Pick test
Step 2- Study
Step 3- Pass and move on.
Try to do one that doesn't require too much step 2, that'll motivate you.

I like to go ahead and schedule an exam, so that I have a deadline to work towards. One of the testing centers I use has online registration, so I usually do that and then hustle to make the deadline. Don't get discouraged, those ECEs are tough! Schedule something easy, and when you go pass it you'll have that fire under you once again. You can do this! Go get 'em!

I agree. Pick an easier test. There are many, just check specific feedback section and get back in the game. ECEs are HARD. Don't sweat it! Get on it!

This is a hard time of year to start new projects, especially if you live far enough North that the days are noticeably short. It sometimes helps me to accept that there's a good reason why I can't get going, then I can adapt my tactics and move on. Starting with an easier subject is a great idea. For me, I enjoy the activity of planning my studies and finding resources, that alone can help me get enthused.
Do you have any tests left that are interesting (beyond wanting the credit
) to you? Do one of those. Test prep mode can be a bit of a grind. Maybe get hold of a user-friendly book on the subject to get you started.Phillip
