Boards Exam

Published June 25, 2009 7:36 AM by Lisa West
I have studied as much as I probably can at this point, and my exam is at 4:30 PM tomorrow.  Which means, if I take the full 5 hours, I won't be done with my exam until 9:30 at night.  Add in breaks and paperwork and breathing time, and I could potentially be gone until 10 PM, taking an exam. 

I'm so nervous.  I've basically been studying for this exam for 3 years- every single class, every lecture had compounded into this one exam I need to become a licensed physical therapist.  Obviously, this is more nerve-wracking and more weighted than any ACT or SAT or final exam I've ever taken. 

Things I need to remember: BREATHE.  Take my time in reading the questions.  Don't rush.  Even the littlest details in the questions will lead me to the correct answer.   

I've heard that I can go onto the FSBPT website the following day after my exam and pay $60 to get my score.  There's part of me that wants to know if I passed or failed as soon as possible, there is part of me that probably wants to postpone any chance of getting bad news.

Either way, you can probably bet I will be feeling both relieved and incredibly frustrated tomorrow night.  And, if you are reading this on Thursday, June 25th, just send some good thoughts my way.
