I passed the SW Exam my first time around! Whoo-hooo!!!!!!!!!! I still can't believe it! My anxiety was very high right before I began the test and even about 20 questions into it. Overall, the test strategies served as a foundation and guide throughout the test and helped to keep me focused and present. It went very much the way TDC talks about the test - there were definitely times none of the answers seemed right, times when my knowledge, ability to reason through and utilize the strategies kept me feeling confident enough and even some times when the answers were obvious. It was definitely a disconcerting feeling as I was going through it but I didn't feel unprepared. It felt like I knew enough to make it through and that was comforting. It is so important to listen to EVERYTHING TDC says and know it. Also, Asya helped me with anxiety management and provided invaluable tips to enhance my reasoning and utilize what I knew. Her calmness and reassurance was so helpful. I could hear both Asya and Amanda's voices in my head:) Thank you so much TDC! One down, one to go!
