I Can Do IT; I Must Do it

There's nothing revealing about my posts regarding the training for the position that I have been working on for the past 14 months or so. This note, like any other ones that I have posted so far so far in the past 15 years and few months, are for my own. If someone enjoys reading them, and at times gains information, which might happen, good. If they don't, they don't have to read. 

Having said that, we will have our mid-term examinations next week: Tue. and Wed. We have been working to be ready for them in the past 7 weeks. I'm not very confident but what I know is I can pass them, both because I know my areas of weaknesses and I have time to study for them. I need to manage my time for the studies, and as well, get the necessary material. Then during the practical examination, which will come first, I will have to make sure that I take my time, pay attention to detail and focus. 

We had a chance to practice our written test and I didn't do so well (I got only 69%, yeah you can laugh!) on that but that's not the end of the world. First of all there were areas that I had not covered and there were areas that I had issues with. I know those areas and I will focus on them. Secondly, and this is important as well, I have to focus and avoid skimming! I have to sit to the end of the examination and if necessary, read all questions twice and answer them twice. 

When I was doing my P. Eng. and I failed the Law and Ethics Examination the first time, lacking only 1 or 2 scores, what I did was I read the reference materials, 3 times each and answered all of the practice questions. Then at the end I had 10 extra min.(!) which I spent it on reviewing the answers and of coursed I passed. That will be my strategy here as well. Read as many time as possible, focus on the exam, do not skim and get what you need to get.
(Photo: Nike has been my favorite brand since high school although it was next to impossible to get a product with that brand in those days for a number of reasons, noticeably the time because that was the war time and then they were expensive on that time in the old country considering they were actually made in the US. I think they are expensive even now in the old country although they are not in fact made in the US any more but that's mainly due to the fact that the rate is horrible. Anyways Nike's motto here is the closets to my post's title and that and the reason above are why I used it here)
