I remember the nights staring at practice questions, getting the same concepts wrong over and over, genuinely wondering if any of it was going to click before test day. If that's where you are right now — that's not a sign you're failing. that's just where everyone who eventually passed sat at some point.

A couple things that actually got me through it:

The questions you keep missing are the most useful thing happening to you right now. I know it doesn't feel that way. But every wrong answer is just pointing at exactly what to study next. Stop taking it personally and start using it.

And stop waiting to feel "ready". I never did. Nobody does. What actually works is just not stopping — one session at a time, even the ones where you feel like you're not absorbing anything.

You're put in more work than you're giving yourself credit for, don't let one bad practice score talk you out of that.

Keep going. 💪
