I used the earplugs and tuned out the world. I focused on the questions and read each one just like I did in the TDC practice tests and mock exams. I paced myself in preparing by making sure I highlighted key words when I studied the rationales or listened to the audio. I used the tests to go back over the ones I missed and to review ones I got right. I didn't spend as much time on the ones I got right as I did with the ones I got wrong. I went over everything on the 2nd Mock Exam and took it the morning of the exam and I took the 1st one the night before. I just paced myself and went with my gut after eliminating answers to 2 choices then one. You just have to know the law and ethics well. I really implore all applicants to spend the investment to take the prep courses with TDC. Thank you all. Will be preparing for the Clinical Exam now.
