Never underestimate the power of a freshly functioning brain. I felt guilty this weekend for not yet studying, so I took a practice test. You are supposed to take this test with no formal prep, just to get an idea of where you stand, and to measure your progress when you complete the course of study. Fair enough. I had been having good intentions to start this practice test, and begin studying for a couple of weeks now, so its about time I buckled down and did it.
Unfortunately for me, I somehow thought taking this practice test at midnight would be a good idea. I'm a night person, I said. Well forget that, because night person or not, if you're already tired when you start cracking books, you're in for a rude awakening. (Its been years since I was in school, so no, I did not remember that very important lesson). This is not like sneaking in a few pages of your latest fantasy fiction book, reading until your eyes flutter closed. Figuring out the crafty little tricks of the test prep people takes a little bit more work, and this was evidenced by my disappointing first score. Even I eventually gave in, and tossed the book onto the floor as I shut out the light and succombed to glorious sleep. I had completed 3 out of 5 sections, leaving the rest for the next day.
The first logic section had me only getting a few correct :/
However my strengths did show through in the analytical and reading comprehension sections, where I only got a few wrong. Anyhoo. I took the remaining sections the next day and wonder of all wonders, scored gloriously well. Never underestimate the power of a good 8 unconscious hours!
