Hola Hugo- Look at all the excitement you have generated with us building you back up and pushing you back into the deep end of the pool! We were not about to let a live one get away just because you had a rough go of it at the start!!
Ruddigore is right... OVER study for the first tests. I am sure I drove everyone crazy on this board when I was prepping for my first test. I was a wreck and studied studied and studied some more. I was so worried that I was going to come home and have to tell my family that I did not pass. I even took the test one day earlier than I had planned "just in case". I figured I could pack a bag and leave a note and be back to the US before anyone realized that I had not passed. Nothing like being planned for any outcome!
Once I sat down to take the exam I knew I was as ready as anyone could ever be. It was great to leave the testing center with a good score and knowing that it was all downhill from that point on. The next tests I had a better feel on what I needed to pay attention to and what was just extra info. Even now, I am studying for a totally different set of exams (Praxis 1 & 2 for teaching) and I will think "oh that sounds like something that they will put on the test" ...after a while you can just tell what the exam is going to have. Plus the feedback board is priceless.
HEY -- after all of my babbling post I am appreciated!!!! I am so glad that everyone thought my drugs and computer line was funny. Now if I can ever be promoted past Senior Squire, I will really know that I have arrived on this board!
Carry on Hugo and prove us all wrong with your assault of Astronomy !!
