Blah

In orientation, found out that breakfast is at 7, class starts at 8, lunch is at 1, class ends at 6. After a 15 minute break, those who want to review can resume class for another 1.5 hours to go over sample test questions.

There will be little or no time for fun. Not that I'm here for fun. And to make matters worse, the test, on Sunday, has 1000 questions that we get 6 hours (yes, that says hours) to complete. Y-u-c-k. But "don't worry", I only have to answer 700 questions correctly to pass.

So now I'm all conflicted... study more and be more prepared for tomorrow, but be VERY tired, or go to sleep and be rested but less prepared. Not an easy choice. I'm leaning towards bed, though, because my allergies have kicked in and I've taken some anti-allergy pills. Now that I'm medicated, concentration is...

What was I saying?


Oh, yeah, concentration is more difficult.



CORRECTION
My apologies. It is 1000 points. 250 questions. But still six hours to take the test, and we're told the average completion time is 4.5 hours.

UPDATED CORRECTION
I did a little figuring. 1000 points comes out to 4 points per question. I need to answer 175 correctly to pass. The six (6) hours comes out to 1.44 minutes per question. When you think about it, that's not a whole lot of time to dilly dally on a question if I don't know the answer. I'm not sure the 4.5 hour average is going to be practical for me.
