Cindy,

Remember that anxiety is not absolutely a bad thing. It can energize us to study more and give us the boost we need for the final round--if we channel it right. Your in the final round, the time to harden those butterflies into determination. I know you have that determination, because you have shown the will to return to school and in a non-traditional way. Take a practice test, see where your gaps are (if any), and set an hour-by-hour schedule in order to maximize your study time. If you know IC, you'll do fine.


By the way, you can take a tutorial before the test on the testing software and the Official Guide has a practice software disc as well. Just remember to get plenty of sleep the night before and arrive at the test center early. I still get nervous, especially at the test center. My last test I dropped study cards all over the lobby floor, and then rammed my foot into a chair that I never saw. Being nervous is part of it. But I wouldn't trade that nervousness as it is an incentive to try to have my ducks in a row. Alot of test taking is a mental game of overcoming your fear of the test.

The main thing: Know the material, have confidence that you know the material, take a breath, and then demonstrate that you know the material. Now, go forth and do great things! In the words of Julius Caesar, you'll go, you'll see, you'll conquer!!!
