1st Timer Here...In Information Overload! How to begin?

[sgngrl]

I have some serious test taking jitters and put off taking tests, literally for years. I called a test center to ask some questions and somehow the coordinator said some of the right things and I was just in a mood that day. I jumped in my car, drove to the test center and used my VISA to pay for a test. After I passed that first test, I took another that same day and passed it as well. Alltogether, I have passed 8 tests now. I used the Instant Cert flashcards, tips I get from the forums and text books I purchase at Goodwill for .50 cents to $4. I usually only read the chapter summaries. I am sure there are some more challenging exams, but none of them have been anything even close to what I can imagine when the word TEST comes into play. I haven't the nerve to keep taking tests cold though it did break the ice.

I am a more "mature" student with some life experience under my belt so admittedly that really has helped. Also, if you haven't been in school for awhile, reviewing a few multiple choice test taking strategies couldn't hurt.

Best wishes!
