My brain is exhausted - need to blow off steam

I have a big day tomorrow - i will be writing the CMA Entrance Exam - need lots of I have been preparing for this since September 2007!!
I took last week off work and from morning till night (with a few breaks for pets.ca ) all i did was study. I did a 4 hour mock exam every day since last monday and i am EXHAUSTED!!!

I have so much stuff crammed into my brain right now that i am afraid to sneeze

Supposedly it will be all worth it at the end....

Good luck, I am a CGA, I know about those exams, they are TOUGH!!!

Sounds like you did the right thing to prepare! Take today off, don't cram, that is the worst thing, just ponder things over in your mind to organize your thoughts.

Good luck , I also have my CGA and even though some days I find work incredibly boring I still count it as one of the best moves I have ever done as it offers great work flexibilty .

How was the exam> I too know more than I ever care to about exams - mostly - as one of those ppl who is test conscience, ie, I tend to think of them as quiz's that I like and not horrible things , I tend to do OK on them but there have been a few I would prefer to forget, lol I also write some tests for the Cdn and US Medical Societies and do some CME's (Continuing Medical Education) tests but I am beginning to think - as my husband says of his profession's legal ones - that there are a boon to the relative associations. Any lawyer is not going to give away his or secrets. It is different in medicine or should be, I always share my knowledge but then I teach at a med school - as well as a have a full practice- so I think it is my responsibility. I guess lawyers think differently, even my beloved, lol

Then again, he gave up a partnership in a large firm to solely immigration work and refugee work so I make more money than him and he won;t get rich from being a lawyer. (Just don't tell my mother, lol - kidding, she doesn't care, as long as I am happy she says)

Sounds like it went well! I find you always have some ideas on how an exam went.

I remember the phone calls from fellow classmates on the day the marks arrived in the mail. My hands would be shaking when I checked the mail and saw an envelope from CGA.
