Breathe out.
Felt quite Zen all day. I had a nice sleep last night, and decided I was not going to take any more of those practice finals. I spent my time boning up on options instead. I then did a very fancy spreadsheet, too fancy even to explain, which extrapolated what my scores would have been if I knew then what I know about options NOW. And in the extrapolation I got an 82% which equates to a good chance of passing. See how I turned that around? I could have taken a final and gotten perhaps a 79% this time; but instead I duped myself into believing I would have gotten an 82%! My new Native American name? Lies With Math.
So, I have yet to do the big run-through of all the Wee Notecards, and I want to re-draw my formula practice sheet a few more times, then I’ll get a good sleep tonight and be ready to go.
I am one with the – NOOOO GAAAAAAHHH I WON’T MAKE IT PRAY FOR ME!!!!!! HELP!!!!!
Breathe in.
UPDATE: How Zen am I? It’s 11:39 the night before the test and I dropped my glasses and they broke.
But I fixed them, and packed two spares.

Zen calm when it counts (a/k/a good luck).
don’t fuck it up.
😉
I’ve been thinking of you a lot! I hope it goes well tomorrow.
I find the following affirmation helpful in these situations: This test will suck, as it’s designed to suck, and still, I will kick its ass. Then I will drink beer*.*substitute beverage of choiceMassive zen vibes your way.
If you don’t ace it, it will be only because the test designers are sadists.
I just know you will be blogging about how silly you were to worry so much.
I am a good test taker, always have been. I am sending you (telepathically) some of my essence for that.
Fingers and toes crossed for you.
You must have terrorized the SATs. You go, girl. Best of luck to you.
I like Mare’s mantra! Good luck!
You’re going to crush this thing!
Smart of you to alter your prep routine — even if you end up doing a more complicated process and achieve a similar result, it doesn’t matter. There’s a point in studying and practicing where your brain just gives up, and you’re smart to have switched things up before you reach that point.
CRUSH IT!
All – going well. SO FAR.
And thanks for all the good thoughts.
