The test was absolute HELL! I studied soooo hard and I mean sooo hard. Ive never studied harder for anything in my life. I had no idea what was going to be on the test. The only thing we were told was that a certain % of the test would be from one subject another % from another subject etc. So I studied everything I could. I spent all day Friday with my study group, slept good Friday night. Woke up a little nerveous on Sat, went out to breakfast with Zac and then drove to the test. I felt pretty good about taking the test being I spent so much time studying for it. I opened the test book read through the first 2 pages of questions and about had a heart attack! There was hardly anything on the test that I studied for.
I would say about 10% of the test is actually what I studied. I had 2 hours to take the test and I still had 12 questions left when I got the 5 minute warning. I was the second to last person to be done...and Im usually a pretty fast test taker. I could have died. About 30 min before the test was over my hands started shaking and I was sweating like a pig. There were sooo many questions wher I absolutely had no idea what the answer was. I honestly feel if I had not studied for the test I would have known the same amount of stuff. I was soooo frustrated when I left that test.

Im not just saying this but I DOUBT..actually I know I didnt pass. If I passed it is a true miracle from Heavenly Father because I did not know what I was doing. The good thing is I found out if I dont pass I can take an oral test in front a board who will decide whether or not I graduate. Crappy thing is that if I didnt pass I will have to spend a TON of more time studying for the oral test...I am so done with school. I was debating going back in the fall to take classes to become a nurse and after this test..no thanks. After the test I went out to lunch with my study group which was nice. I came home and Zac had a bouquet of flowers and a gift certificate for pedicure waiting at home for me an I broke down and cried. I couldn't sleep last night. I kept dreaming about the questions that I couldnt figure out the questions to. I woke up so many times in the middle of the night freaking out about the test. Zac said I was wimpering in my sleep (most likely dreaming about the freakin' test). So I cried off and on during the morning and I just feel sick. I feel worse today than yesterday and I dont know how I am going to wait for the results. I truly do not feel that I passed and I just want to get this over with. I still have 2 papers to write...a 6 page and 12 page paper and then a take home test and now most likely the oral test. I think I am going to have a nerveous breakdown. I keep telling everyone that I will be back to my old self in April but I think I wont be myself until I actually graduate...which hopefully I do.

that SUCKS! heres hoping for a miracle! WOW that TOTALLY SUCKS! UGH! hope it works out. and maybe you guessed right if you didn't KNOW the answer. so Lame!
Oh Tia, I'm so sorry you are stressed. I'm thinkin' that maybe instead of sleep deprivation as a form of torture at Guantanamo Bay we should make them go to school, write papers, take tests, work for free 1,000 hours, etc...Man, that's a lot of pressure you are under. Keep praying and asking Heavenly Father to calm your nerves. If you HAD to take the Oral exam I bet you'd feel more comfortable now that you have ab IDEA of the questions they may ask. Good luck to you
OH TIA!!!! I am so sorry. Just keep a prayer in your heart, keep your chin up and know everything is for a reason. I'm not sure why, but life DO SUCK!!!! Good luck with everything you have going on...♥Kayola
Sorry that you are under so much stress, but I'm sure everything will work out. Happy to hear that Zac is there for you and we'll keep our fingers crossed for you!!! Good luck!
TIA!!! I am so sorry about the test. I am sure you did better than you think!! I HATE that, when you study, study, study, and then feel like you did poorly. I am sending positive vibes your way, you DID PASS!!! Good luck with all the rest. I am dreading taking my final, I keep putting it off for the same reason (except I am sure mine isn't as hard!)
I'm sooo sorry that you feel so badly about this test. I KNOW without a doubt you did all you could and studied your heart out. I know one way or another it will all work out for you! I know that Heavenly Father knows how hard you have worked for this and He won't let you down in some way. Try to stay upbeat even though I'm sure it's killing you.
You're the best! No matter if you have a masters degree Or not!!!
Oh Tia, ditto to what everyone has said. If there was anything I could do for you to lift some of the stress I would, but I have so much faith in you. I am sorry for the sucky test, Im sure if you do the oral you will rock at it. We are all praying for you and I am looking forward to seeing pictures from your vacation that will be so rewarding for you. How sweet of Zac, tell him I think he is awesome. And maybe if you watch some Paradise Hotel it may take your mind off things and you can make fun of all the stupid people that are on it. Love ya so much, GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
I am sure you did fine. Tests always suck. The test is over so settle down and relax. easy for me to say right!?!?!
Oh my Heavens Tia! You are one hard worker...SHEESH! I am so sorry about the test, that is a nightmare. I know you will accomplish all you have set out to. Just get it all over with cuz I am tired FOR you. My thoughts will be w/ you :)
:( This is me with a frowney face. I know you must have studied so hard. It's so lame. Why can't they be more specific about what is going to be on the test? Like they want you to be magic or something?
Well, keep on keepin' on sister! Good luck with everything else.
