So the month of march has started and I'm still feeling underprepared. This is the last phase of my study where i now start writing daily essays in ernest and working through exam questions.
Up until now I've been mainly focusing on science to create somewhat of a base for myself. I don't think it's complete but it'll have to do, it takes time to not only go through the textbooks but understand them also. The material I did cover I'm confident of grasping, which is pretty important given I have no science base whatsoever.
There's this awesome website for like minded candidates: http://pagingdr.net/forum/
Here they also have a random quote generator which is really useful for my essays. Hopefully I can tackle the middle section well by the end of this prep, I'll also have to overcome my slow handwriting :(
The entire exam including breaks between sections takes 5 hours, which I've heard can be pretty exhausting and stressful. A little stress is useful because it stops you making silly mistakes by increasing awareness. Too much of it makes you over-think things and lose time in tangent thoughts. I try to enter the same mood as when I fight, emotionally I'm totally aggressive and ready at any moment while logically I'm analyzing what's in-front of me picking up habits, behaviours and movements. Being aware and proactive means that I never run out of time while also being reserved in thinking means I follow chains of thought toward the end. For me I've found it to be the best way to tackle huge obstacle.
After I've done some more practice questions I'll post my thoughts on how hard this is going to be.. :)
