So I took my exam on July 3. Worst mistake ever. I heard that you would know by Tues if whether or not you would get your license. The delay was because of July 4. The day I took the exam I was not feeling too confident. I was unsure of myself. The questions were hard. They did not feel like kaplan questions. The strategies did NOT apply. It shut off at 100 questions (mininmum is 75 questions, maximum is 265.) For the computer to shut off at 100 questions means I did rather well or rather bad and I was VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY upset when my computer shut off. There was not even one question that I felt I answered 100% correctly. Most questions seemed like they had 2 answers (as always.) The last 48 hours I've been telling myself to not get upset if I didn't pass and there's no point in getting so upset. Yes I know I tried my hardest, took Kaplan, reviewed like crazy but it's not like i know everything there is to know so i can still study more. But even then i didn't know how much more i could do. Well this morning i woke up and put my name in and viola--my name came up with my license #! That was a total shock! I thought since I didn't see my name yesterday that i failed. I ran downstairs and told my mom. She was crying with happy tears. I was sorta jumping up & down. My mom said she couldn't sleep last night and kept praying so hard. She kept saying she didn't know anyone who worked as hard as I did and what more I could have done. It was all very sweet. (Then she told me i need to learn how to cook and clean. haha. that's my mom.) But yeah--I have to say I really do think it's my mother's prayers that God answered. Not that I didn't pray but my prayers were more like please, i hope, please let me pass. And i didn't have much confidence even then which is bad. When a mother prays it seems so much more faithful and stronger for some reason. Anyway, I'm on cloud 9 right now. I went to Chick-Fila-A and got a kid's meal and oreo cookie milkshake. I also went to see SATC again--it made me cry again! haha. Yeah, so next week I am going in person and applying for jobs. =)!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe I am NO LONGER a student. I'm finally starting a NEW CHAPTER in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH and the best feeling of all? That I passed it the 1st time around :o)!!!!
