I passed !!!!! Frustrated no more....

July 21, 2011

Took my exam today. Left the house at 4:30am and made it there without getting

lost, thanks to my GPS..lol. Had time to wait so grabbed an ice tea and looked

over my notes.

So much worry and frustration on my part and most for nothing.

#1. I got a real calculator to use, didn't have to mess with the online one.

#2. The timer had a " hide " feature but the timer was at the top corner so I

didn't focus on it like I worried I would.

I ended the test with 56 minutes left to spare, so I wasn't feeling pressured in

the least.

#3. I chose not to review any of my answers, typically if I second guess myself

it's a mistake.

There were only a couple that I truly did just guess by reasoning. Being in a

retail setting is different than a hospital setting in many ways and some of the

things I just have not had exposure to.

#4. I didn't realize they were going to do palm scans and take my picture. The

woman supervising the testing said they record audio and video of you testing to

insure you are not cheating. It sort of reminded me of a prison set up...lol.

Warden in the centered glass cubicle monitoring the inmates testing. So they

scan you on the way in and the way out again comparing your palm scans and the

photo they took in the beginning, to the driver's license (the only thing you

are able to take in with you other than the key to the locker they give you for

your things)

I'm glad it's over. It won't make a bit of difference in my job or my wage but

it will look good on my resume.

Congrats jab91864!! , I took mine Yesterday and passed!! as of the whole

experience...I agree with you, it felt like you were in prison! I hope your

picture came out nice? because for me, the guy said, " he will snap a picture at

the count of 3 " ...well, not!! more like 5,6..because when he handed my id to the

other guy,(who was in the test room area)...he asked me, to place my palm on the

palm reader again, and my picture popped up...well, I just about died! my mouth

was slightly opened and my eyes shut tight...he laughed I said to him, " I

hope this is not going on an Id card, because if so...you all are so wrong and I

would like another picture " ..he laughed and said, " No, we use this for

verification, if you step out to use the restroom " I was so relieved!!

Well, CONGRATS!!!!

Best regards,

W., CPhT, ABOC
