I am the queen of procrastination if I didn't have it before I inherited when I took my husbands last name his family never does anything today they can do next decade. From 1st college course to BA took me 38 yearsbanghead and several CC's.( I just had to send 9 transcripts to the state to cover all my credits so I could apply for a teaching certificate.) The only way I could get myself to study was to say I would only give it 10 minutes now I could always fit in just 10 minutes. I almost never stopped at 10 minutes but it was always an option. I found practice test were a good study aid for me taking the PT and looking over all the answers even if I got them right made me keep the material fresh.
I never walked in to a testing center confident that I could pass, and I never thought I passed until I saw the score (I can't tell you how many times I almost didn't hit submit score). The only exam I didn't pass was the PRAXIS II in math the 1st time I took it. The reason was I had not had time to study except for one 10 min. session. I studied and took it again and passed. On all my other CLEP/DSST/TECEP/ECE exams I scored at least in the B range and most in the A range.
So stop the procrastination it is just wasting time. Find a method that works for you (or you already have ) and just keep on working away at it. My old quote was something like "Even if we are on the right track we will get run over if we just sit there".
