so firstly i was super panicing to start with but i got there early. parking was shocking and it took me 20 minutes to walk there and then back so good exercise too lol
the room i was in wasnt booked and i was the only one there so prob looked like an idiot
And the people i was asking were confused about it
So then they had to ring the manager
then they couldnt find a room so i had to go wait in a staff room very awkwardly by myself.
oh i was in a hospital btw so it was a nurses staffroom- so pretty nerve wracking
i got into the bulidng ok but i had to ask a few nurses where the heck it the meeting room was that i was suppose to be in and as everthing is key coded i couldnt get in anyway so i had to wait for someone so i could ask them to ask if this was the right spot.
i met the supervisior and she was nice. there was another 2 people there but they were already in a medical field before they took on this one
the fella finsihed within like half an hour- there were 10 pages and i was only on my third one when he left.
and the other lady that was there kept sniffing the whole time, and pen tapping, and she had like mentos things so constantly unwrapping one of those and getting up for the bin. that was really annoying
i used up my whole 2 hours and went over it a few times. i got stuck quite a fair bit but i left them and kept doing the bits that i knew then when i did those i started to remember a few more things or as i was going through it prompted me as to the answer so that helped as well. i ahd to guess a few though but i dont think they are right but whats the worst thats going to happen it will be wrong and the ones i guessed were only 2 and they were only 2 marks each anyway so not a huge loss
while i was waiting awkwardly in the staff room i mangeded to get an extra 15 minutes study in- thnking uploading the first and main modules was a good idea as thats the ones with the roots/prefix/suffix things on it so the most important one.
i was so nervous @utopia my gosh. and then with the stuff ups meantioned above wernt helping me either.. some answers i could quickly answers and others i was completely blank on. so i just kept going over and over and over it until i had finished except for 2 questions i couldnt answer at all but luckily they were only 2 points each so not big penalties for not answering
the test was soo bloody hard! it was 8 pages long and it was nerve wracking
hmm im looking into a few other courses but i think i need to get my mental and physical health up and running abit better first and beside that they are 700 minimum so id better start saving.
my marks were almost 80% and the two other people that were there with me were already in the medical field. and when i was getting blood tests done i was talking to the pathologist and she said oh i remember that bit of when she was studying and ti was soo hard and she only scored low 70s in her exam
