1/3rd an Architect Sounds Much More Impressive than 2/9th!

I slayed the beast! I passed ME! I PASSED! I PASSED! I PASSED!

Go figure... and another nod to my husband, who was right for the third time. Now it's costing me money - even if I pass - due to a bet we made. You see, we kinda have a ritual going and my husband has to open the dreaded envelope when it arrives. This last time, it sat and burned a hole in the coffee table for hours before he got home. So we added a bet to this last test because he was sick of hearing me say, "I know I failed this one." As I explained to another comrade in hell (womanonamission), it goes something like this: if I pass like he always says I will, I have to give him $50. If I'm right and I fail like I know I will, I have to give him $25. Somehow, I got screwed in this deal! He says it's to punish me for not having any faith in myself. Only an attorney can find the logic in this wager. Only an architect (or blonde...) would agree to it!

Now on to BT... groan...

Best of luck to you tomorrow - i've taken this bloody test twice, both before i discovered the forum - what a godsend it is - I feel much more prepared this time! Thanks for all your feedback and good luck tomorrow. I took GS at the end of may, and i can totally sympathize with the envelope thing - I made my son open it up - i couldn't stand it... his face just fell when he saw the FAIL but was so cute, saying... don't worry mom, you can still help me study for my algebra regents... It's great to have family behind you, somehow i think it's great that we are "better late than never" Everyone's support has been really helpful - thanks for reviewing my posts. Good luck and let me know what you think about the test.

Good luck tomorrow on the BT - it has been really helpful having your feedback - I've taken this bloody test twice before (obviously with the big F on my forehead..) both without the help of ARE forum. What a godsend it has been - both for support from older interns, and to help give me an idea of what to do and not do. Thanks- I can totally appreciate the envelope thing - I took GS back in May and made my son open the envelope... his face just fell when he saw the FAIL - but was so cute... "don't worry mom, you can still help me study for the algebra regents..." Ah, the wonders of family that believes in you! Good luck tomorrow, and let's catch up over the weekend.
