Sorry I need one minute to calm down, I will be back. Pleas

I need one minute to cool off, because I am so upset that there are people reading my posts and saying they are "too good" and they did poorly and that I should not help teach.

What is going on? I feel my head is going to explode. And those comments that all the nice words are fake and that I am only being USED is so hurtful because it ain't true.

Someone told me even that they did not use the tutorial minutes to their advantage and they ran out of time.

That is what I am telling the current batch of test takers that they can whip through the tutorial and use those minutes for the blocks. But some of the test takers told me that I should not share that piece of information. That seems quite angry, and bitter, and not within the human spirit of love and honor and hope...

OK, I need a moment. I will be back in two seconds.............

You must be a talented & sensitive person. But as long as it's legal nobody could bother you.

You are doing what I really want to do! The difference is that I don't have the ability to teach. Kind of sad that I can not help much now.

Best wishes, my friend.

I cherish all your thanks. Again, don't feel you have to send a thank you but when I get one, my heart melts and I love all of you.

what tommyk was trying to tell you is that you can use that extra 15 min to increase your brake time. so you can have those min in between blocks. so of course you just have 60min to respond 50 questions but you can have a bigger lunch or relax at least that is my understanding correct me if I'm wrong.

You should all have the notepad they give you and write down ALL the times. Some people finish VERY early and leave BUT that is a bad idea. EVEN if you finish a block SO early. GO BACK and re read. YOU MAY CATCH A GLARING ERROR.

It is true that many people change the right ans to the wrong one, but that is when they are not sure in the first place. However, if you go back, a second time, you may SEE A GLARING mistake, BUT don't just start changing answers if you are not sure.

I forgot to say that you are right, the extra 15 minutes can be used for breaks, but if you set it up, the 45 min lunch and 15 minutes leaves AN HOUR for quick cramming.

DRUG side effects can be crammed very well during quick bursts...use those precious minutes. I personally do not need or like to RELAX, but if you have to, then of course you need to.
