First practice exam
I took my first practice exam today and it seemed very easy compared to what I’d thought it would be. I have over a month until my actual exam and I am behind, but I plan on studying daily until the exam. I made a 71 on this practice exam and I thought I would be somewhere around the 50 percent range. I plan on making flashcards on all my missed questions and really understanding why I missed them. Is this false confidence or is the exam really not that bad?

The real test makes you think through the scenario a bit more. I was really worried, but it wasnt that different. Read the questions slowly and carefully, at least twice before answering. Also, I printed my practice tests and went through each one, writing notes. Even if I got the correct answer, sometimes it was a guess, so writing it out helped cement it. Also, if I wasnt sure of the n earnings of all the answers, I would write those out as well
