WELL... it's been quite a month!
I sat the exam, which was a mixed bag really, some questions i felt very confident about, and others i knew i would score relatively poorly on. At the end I flicked through it and gave myself a rough idea of marks i thought i had gained on each. I reckoned being generous i might score 54% ... maybe as low as 45% if I had stuffed up some of the points I thought i had made well. I scored 52% ... PASS!!! Over the moon about that. This was an exam I suspected might take me a good three or four attempts to get through so to get it out of the way at the second attempt is a major boost... especially as i scored an additional 23 marks compared to the first attempt.
My decision to relax and wait for the arrival of the baby, taking my next exam in November has gone out of the window. I'm now sitting my next one in May... four days after the baby is due. I've entered the exam, signed up to the course and have completed 3/19 tutorial lectures online already ... will do the fourth later tonight. I'm basically cramming like mad trying to get as much knowledge in as possible early just in case the baby shows up several weeks ahead of schedule.
Everything is looking good at the moment. Hoorah!
