I'm a Tuesday test taker, just wanted to wish everyone else good luck. Remember to stay steady, focused and, consistent! Don't rush through the questions simply because it's test day. Do whatever you normally do on your practice tests - we've got this!

    Something that I learned from my previous experience for any nervous test takers today...I found covering the red light that indicates the webcam is on to be helpful! It doesn't interfere with anything at all. Just is less stressful than to have a creepy red light staring at you :)

    @kaatriana Thanks, you as well if you're writing! <3

    Oh that's good to know!! Does it appear on the screen or on your computer? I am on a Mac but I'm not sure I remember seeing a red light when I checked my equipment.

    It’s next to the actual webcam. Mine is a white light. 😊

    This is a great tip. Knowing I’m being “watched” makes me feel hyperaware of myself and way more nervous.

    I’m writing today at 12:30. I’m trying to tell myself this will be like any other prep test I’ve taken. There’s no reason why it should be any different. Good luck everyone!

    It definitely felt weird being watched until I was able to get in my focus groove

    @whatsmyname I had trouble focusing for some reason as well. It felt SO normal to my regular practice that I felt I had to remind myself it was the real thing...

    I wish I felt like you. My chest was pounding the first 30 minutes. And i messed up games because of the timer, I started freaking out that I'm not seeing the inferences and jumped into the questions. God such a fail
