Was this a mistake?

Really, it depends on which tests they are. Some tests are so basic that little study is required, and others... :eek:

What you are doing isn't outrageous, some people have done more in less time. In fact, if you are REALLY worried, then maybe you could try adding a couple more exams, just in case you fail a couple (which of course, you wont, but will make you feel better about the situation ). Since you are trying to graduate in December, maybe you could make up the (non-existent) difference by taking summer courses, or, independent study courses?

Actually it depends on the test taker and not "which tests they are." There are plenty of folks who have failed exams others found simple. Truly the best decision is to take inventory of your background, experience and interests and then determine if these 8 exams are doable for you. Some have a bit of overlap and this may prove helpful to you.

Further, you need to determine how much dedication you can offer to this task. For example, many posters are full time parents with full time employment. Others may be students attending B & M schools with obligations of time to other studies. We are all unique here and its best to look at your own situation to decide whether preparing for 8 exams in this brief period is workable for you..

Preparation is key and I would caution against underestimating any exam subject you are not familar with. There are a host of study resources for all of these subjects and I would suggest you use at least two for each exam.

Finally, I strongly disagree with the advice of adding exams in a shotgun approach in hopes that you will gain enough credits to meet your goal. This approach will only serve to scatter your efforts and detract from proper study time.

Approaching these exams seriously and putting in the time and effort to prepare properly will afford you the best opportunity for success.

Best of luck to you.
