Hi,
I know how u feel,I have taken the test twice and soon going to take for the third time and still not ready for it and have a feeling I am not going to make it,same as u I have lots of distractions which cant be helped.Just hang in there ,my plan is to start studying 2 days after my test taking as if I have failed and prepare for the next earliest slot available that way you are still in touch and hopefully will clear it the next time...always hope and I am sure we will all make it.DONT GIVE UP!

I agree with Faaa78 100%,I started going to the library only last week and found out that I could get so much done :idea: as you are not distracted or disturbed as opposed to studying at home you know kids, bed,fridge,TV etc,I have been preparing as if the exam is in 1month so I keep focused but actually giving the test in August.As for now I am just doing questions and FA.I hope this helps

:icon_bounce: yey, you made it!
thanks for posting this up. i really need a boost these days. my exam is in aug27 and i'm like... oh my oh my, i'm not gonna make it!!! so my days are like always in a hurry...tensed... rushed... pushing... pushing...
it's the first time i am hoping and working to kill an exam. i want to give it my all, but i'm also scared to be crushed. i'm glad this forum exists. it makes me feel that i'm never alone, and i just have to keep pushing.

mariade, thank you for posting this. i am having problems regarding my motivation to study, too. i want to focus on my studies but sometimes my mind just drift off these days. i always tell myself, i need to focus!! anyway, thank you for posting this, and congratulations for passing the exam!!! study well for the next exams!!
to bm, you'll be fine. i've been with you during the chat sessions with step1, krampus, renegade, and the others and you were great! by the way, how do you change the gender icon during chat sessions? i couldn't change my icon into a female icon. thanks.

Almost forgot to mention, in order to increase my concentration and motivation I kept a log of time spent and practice tests taken and results... at the end of a set, I'd congratulate myself if my scores reflected an improvement in scores and reward myself- running, cycling, swimming 
Also reminded myself that these exams are a mere bump in the road of a long journey there will be far worse tests before my journey ends... these are actually somewhat pleasant bumps..... enjoy your journey.
