EPPP
I just want to rant and read positive stories and get some advice and validation. I’ve been studying for almost four months, I have not met a single target score yet. Im using psychprep, Ive worked through my weaknesses such as rushing and not reading questions or answers fully, and I think Ive improved in my test taking skills. Im just anxious that won’t be enough. Right now I’m working with a consultant and in the process of reviewing test c missed items, and completing the chapter quizzes. In between I read, study and listen to chapters, currently on the developmental chapter. Im just exhausted.
Im a ft working single parent, and I often end up studying after 9-10 pm when Im cognitively, physically and emotionally beat. Im at a point of desperation where I just want to get the exam over with, but I won’t be able to take it until August due to my state’s examining board. Im debating whether to take a one and half month break from studying and get back to it in July or to passively keep going. I’m also considering applying through another jurisdiction and just trying taking it earlier. I did not complete a postdoc though and IDK if that prevents me from doing that.
Have any of you done that? Did any if you take it regardless of not meeting the target scores and passed it?
