Thank you so much for your guidance. When I took the exam, it felt as if I was sprinting the entire time. I never felt like I got into a stride and the time ran out at question 169. You and others had mentioned that it would feel like we are failing the test and I did not have that feeling as much. I felt really strong in the first half and that the questions were not as hard as I had imagined they would be. Then I got to question 100 and I was debating on wether to take a break or not. I felt like I did not have enough time for a break but your voice told me to take one anyway. In San Franciso, the bathroom at the testing center is on the opposite side of the building. I literally sprinted down the hallway, used the facilities, then sprinted back, took a swig of Odwalla green juice and bit off half of a Cliff bar and went back in to answer the remaining 70 questions (and almost finished the exam - the break was 3 minutes exactly). The break was ESSENTIAL! It really got me through and could have been the reason I did not complete the exam, but it did not matter because I passed. I also used the Gerry Grossman resources and found the mock exams between you and Grossman are vastly different. I was getting into the 80% with your exams and never got out of 60% range for the Grossman exams. According to their system, I was not "test ready" and would have failed the exam. Overall, you guys are truly the best and I will recommend you from now on.
