on numbers not working in my favor

Shitfuck. I was *supposed* to take the Series-24 exam (work-related, like the last one, but shorter) tomorrow, but I'm not passing my practice tests. Most disconcerting? I scored the same today as yesterday, despite lots more study, which means NO IMPROVEMENT. Not good. In fact, the very antithesis of good. Meaning: bad.

After some much needed calming and rational words from S, I called my boss and left a vm that I wasn't doing well and was considering rescheduling the test, but needed his input. I waited all of about 30 minutes before I decided he wasn't going to call me back, so I rescheduled anyway. Good. Yes. An extra weekend is all that I need. I'll take the next two days at work easy (if not half days), get off Monday, and kill this thing on Tuesday.

Logically, it's just a few more days. Emotionally: I want this to be over! This is torture!!!

But really, failing is not an option. Sure, I could take it again, but I'd have to wait 30 days and that means I will not have accomplished what the firm told me to do within the timeframe given (which was to pass the 7 and 24 this year). So... that would suck. I tried to BS myself into thinking I could pass the 7 the first time around, and I failed ferociously. Either I know this material or I don't.

Ugh. Just a few more days...
