:D The expert test was very brutal. Most of the things I studied were not going to help me AT ALL. Almost harkens back to the Berkeley days, studying my @ss off and realizing that I was screwed after spending two minutes looking over the test. Of course this was a multiple choice exam, much easier. All conceptual questions, only a few were quick and easy. Reading each question took me quite a while. Going through all the questions on the first pass took me more than an hour. It was clear that I was not going to finish comfortably. The thirty minute mark brought upon random shrieks of frustration on my part. Luckily not many people were in the testing center. At the ten minute mark I fruitlessly attempted to memorize all the questions for my next attempt. That wouldn't have helped me much, this test does not cater to memorization. At the one minute mark I started cracking jokes to the proctor. When the last seconds ticked off, I refused to look at the screen, convinced of my failure.

... sometimes I amaze myself. Intuition and luck? Who knows. I'm relieved to have passed and can now retire the subject material (although I'll torture myself with a different test in the future).  ¶ 2:18 PM
