Hello...

Ok... This is not your usual post that you come across everyday... I'm just looking for advice because I'm really confused about what to do...

Ok... Here goes...

The thing is I'm pregnant... And due in April... CAAPID starts in March.
. But I wanted to appear for NBDE Part 2 and have a re-do of TOEFL... I'm just not sure what to do now... Coz I have my pregnancy brain (meaning that I'm scatter brained, can't remember a thing,etc.etc) And I'm not really sure if doing all this is possible when a baby is born...

It sounds incredibly silly... But if anyone could give me advice on what to do... I would be so grateful!!!

Thank you!

Pregnancy brain is a myth. Stupid people stay stupid and smart stay smart - you are just read too much about it. Focus
Use the last few months to do everything you can - when baby comes, you will have no energy or concentration left, especially if this is your first child
Do everything you can schedule and keep in mind, that the baby might come early

But when do you think I should take the exams?? I'm a bit confused about that....
You don't have many options - you cut it really short. If you didn't schedule Part 2 or TOEFL , you might not even be able to schedule anything until your due date. Ideally you should be done with your exams a couple of weeks before the due date
First try to find out available dates. NBDE should be a priority, because it takes 2 days and 7 or 8 hours. It will be hard to leave a newborn for that long. With TOEFL it's much easier and it's shorter.
