Dilemma

Post by Freyer92 » Sat May 10, 2014 12:10 pm

First time poster, long time lurker with a question.

Just finished undergrad final exams today and was preparing to start working through the prep tests. I completed some books and some material already and I set today as the day I want to begin to work through all the tests. I had it all planned out and everything. However, exams just ended and I can hardly deal with the stress of getting grades back. I want to drink. Am I going down a slippery slope if I change my mind and get drunk?

Are you prepping for June or September? If it's June, you're likely already fucked, and if it's September, you have enough time that a few more days off won't kill you.

One other thing - when you say you "want to begin to work through all the tests", are you talking about just taking full preptest after full preptest until you've done them all?

Ok glad to hear that. I'm taking it in September, and yes, more or less. I have about 35 prep tests to do.

I'd recommend using most of your prep material to drill questions by type, long before you start taking full, timed prep tests. While it's satisfying to run through an entire timed test and get a "score" at the end, it's really not the best use of your time, especially early in your studies.

Ah, oh I meant to mention I've drilled Cambridge packets.
