Big Test
Today is the day of the big test. I don't know if I was worked up over this or if it is because I finally get to go home today that caused me to not be able to sleep last night. Either way, I'm up early after little sleep to write my big exam so that I can be an Instructor Therapist. I will then be qualified to work with Autistic Children.
The journey over the last two weeks to today was interesting. I have been questionning this decision of quiting my jobs to come for training and all because if I do not get 80% on this test I cannot do this job. If I fail I am out 3 jobs because I quit two to come here. I also got a phone call from another prospective job while I was here and we both decided that I did not have thetime they wanted for that other job. So I guess that is 4 jobs that are on the line today. No pressure. The journey is that yesterday after the review and studying on my own I really started to feel like I could possibly do this. I also discovered I had the highest mark on the pretest (we write the test cold the first day with no training) - 33%. I am ready to do this test now but first I need some breakfast.
I can't wait until I get home though.
-----------------
Finished in 1/2 an hour. Oddly enough I feel like I understood every question and may have only lost a couple of points, perhaps.
