i think my paranoia is kickin in but ..I took exam on sept 22. during my breaks i would walk up and down the hallway so exited and happy. i thought to myself this exam was not soo bad. otherthan about 25 questions, i felt like all the others were resonable and fair, stuff you should know. Call me a sick-o but it was exciting. anyways i got home ,opened up my F.A (which i promised myself i wouldnt do) found of course like 6-8 dumb dumb mistakes i made on the gimme questions. owell, ill blame that i guess on the adrenaline rush. Anyways my question is whats the norm : you know how some say if you think you aced it than most likely u bombed it. and vice versa. ive read all the posts of people who think they failed ,than passed. BUT anyone out there with my experience have a HAPPY ENDING? yes, i am bored, and waiting for the results is killing me.!

Hi,

the same here. Took the test two days after you. My one was a horrible test and I wasn't excited at all. And of course I also found some mistakes afterwards. I hope the results will be online by next Wednesday.

Oooh yes, and I really hope the result will be better than the feeling I have 😕

dont worry ,i think the more time you have ,maybee the more you 2nd guess yourself! thankgod for the 50 experimental questions! my friend just took it today. he said all his questions were sooo long like paragraphs. strange because all mine seemed to be 2-4 lines. i dont know ,i remember less and less everyday. are you taking break,? a part of me wants to keep reading for step1 just in case BUT ive been studying more for step2 lately. we willl see. i dont want to waste a month but than again i dont want to study the same SH#* all over again! we will see......

 

[miss medulla]

oh, i think excited was the wrong choice of words! relieved would prob be better 🙂 yeah defin not excited! 🙂

i felt good after taking the test. end result: i did good.

 

[lunartune]

3 other people wrote the same date as I did (actually in the same room) and we had totally different tests. My questions were also very very long like paragraphs. Definitely longer than the questions on UW! 2-4 lines? I didn't find many of those questions on my test.

Since I expected 'something like UW' on my test I got a bit frustrated during my test since they ask in a very strange way very easy stuff and I always seemed to run out of time (not like in UW where you can finish 50 qs in 50 minutes and then review).

Oh well, I hope all the questions I did before paid out and the acquired routine saved me some points We'll see

To blz: Good for you!

[miss medulla]

thanks bkz,exactly what i needed to know. 🙂

I felt the same way, good during and immediately after, but real crummy after looking at first aid. But in the end I exceeded my expectations even when I was feeling really good.

 

[strongson]

i felt incredible after the exam. like i'd over-prepared. then, like many, i glanced at FA and realized i'd made >>10 stupid errors.

end result: >>250/99. so feel good that you felt good.

 

[miss medulla]

pinkertinkle , strongson luv u both. damn im feeling better already 🙂
only 5 more days of torture.... ...

 

[Emergency!]

I wouldn't count on only five more days of torture. I took it on the 14th and haven't gotten my results yet - I was really hoping they would be released this week. 🙁 In any case - good luck! I felt absolutely shredded after the exam and wondered what and they heck I had been studying because it sure didn't feel like the same stuff I was studying was on the exam.

Ditto. I think because the questions you tend to remember most are A) Easy ones you KNOW you should get right but don't. and B) Ridiculously hard ones you had no chance of getting right. Both make you feel like a chump. I did the exact same thing and I was in the 250 + club as well.

 

[lunartune]

Hi guys, thanks for giving hope! Good to know that other people shared the same experience!

I hope they will release the scores soon. You know they like to torture us
