Gotta turn it off and go look at my notes. Bye!

LOL! You should do great. I've noticed that any time the day goes Horribly Wrong before something important, the Something Important tends to go off well. 
Can't wait to hear how you do!

Can't wait to hear how you do! Me too. She's supposed to get back any minute... Waiting for someone to finish a test is a lot slower than taking one yourself.

I didn't get a chance to wish her luck but I have been praying for her. I know she will be fine. Can't wait to hear.

...from the testing center. I almost turned around before even going inside. I was in my van looking over the materials one more time and everything just looked fuzzy and I couldn't concentrate. I thought, great, I'm gonna pass out right here. No such luck. I prayed one last time, grabbed my purse, and made myself go inside.
The young lady that always checks us in was there with a big smile, but I was still nervous. I got all settled in and went at it. The test was a bit harder in some ways, but easier in others (guess for the ones that I knew the right answer to! ). Well, I finished with time left over to check my answers and then pressed the 'exit' button. I thought I would see my score and about had a cow when a survey popped up. Well, come to find out the score was at the end of the survey. When a score of 66 finally showed up, I felt so relieved AND happy. That's 2 points higher than Ruddigore! Of course, it's not a race, but nice to know that mom can still think and apply what she knows.
Now I'm on to Analyzing Lit and glad of it. So many things to remember was giving me a headache, but I learned so much!
Thank you all who supported me in this. I know it's just a 3 credit test, but I know now that I can do this. I jumped high and made it over the hurdle. Yeah for me!!

[SIZE="5"] WELL DONE!!![/SIZE]hilarious
The first one is always the hardest, you don't know what to expect. I'm sure History II was alot to remember too. Congrats and Good Luck with A & I that was hard for me, but I tend to over analyze everything.

Great job! And now that the first one is out of way, and it turns out it wasn't so scary after all, AND that you could show up the young whippersnappers.. start prepping for the next one, and the next one. It can become addicting!
