So I finished Friday feeling pretty frustrated overall (thermo fluids). I wish I would have walked away with a high level of confidence, but I did not.
I think I nailed the AM portion, but the PM portion was a different story. Unfortunately I was not able to think that clearly on the PM portion. In the end I guessed on 5 problems (which I never did on a practice exam). I feel the PM portion was much harder than sample exams. Maybe it is just being in a test situation that makes it seem more difficult. I think I probably got 35/40 in the morning. But in the afternoon it is really hard to say (20-30? maybe huge range I know).
I thought I was so prepared for this test. I put in over 400 hours of studying (I kept a calendar of my hours). I do not think any more studying would have helped me. Also I am not sure TF was the right choice. I think MD would have been a better choice. It looks to me like TF is the hardest of the three.
I honestly am not sure whether or not I passed.
Does anyone have any advice for how to deal with the wait? The weekend was painful. Studying has been so much a part of my life. It is hard to transition from studying so intensely to nothing. I think it is best to just not think about it (but I was not able to do that over the weekend). Maybe it just takes time?
