I've actually had fun studying for it...and I can't wait to stop thinking about it for a while.

This is how I felt in September until scores were released and my hopes and dreams were crushed.

I feel sort of calm and resigned about this weekend. I know what is coming, I know I can answer every question right, I just need to stay calm and focus. Feeling confident is the best way to murder the test, so you've got the right idea. Good luck!!

just remember not too cross that fine line between confident and too confident

Pting 175-179 every. single, time. Feeling golden when I walked out of the test. As if I had done as well as I ever had. Fast forward three weeks to opening an email that says "168." I won't even bother lying on a anonymous internet forum, I cried so hard I threw up.

This isn't to discourage you. It is just what happened to me.

I thought I had a 164-165. I started drinking wine fairly early in the night, figuring I'd get my score, go out and have a good time. Didn't get my score until 11:30 pm when I had finished 90% of the bottle. Saw the 162 and burst into tears and was pretty much a drunk, crying mess.

If I get a 168 I won't be throwing up.

If you score 8-11 points lower than your PT, then you might. Moral of the story, feel confident going in, do your best, but have a barf bag ready when the score comes.

I'm ready to get it over with. I will be fine never having to take a practice test again. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed studying, but I am ready for the real thing.

My practice tests have been 169-176. They are PTs in the 20s and 30s. I am aiming for 170, but expecting about a 167. If I receive lower than 165, I will be disappointed in myself. I really want to get into Emory, but if I see that I don't do as well on the real thing, I will be happy to settle with UGA. If I fall too low to get into UGA, I am just retaking the test next year and applying again next cycle.
