Well, I think you're right about the concentration/relaxation thing. When I'm more relaxed it's easier to focus and really pick the question apart. I can't really predict how I'll feel on exam day-- other than to say I'll be freaking out. But I am getting better at talking myself down when I feel like I'm getting wound up. Rusty might not agree with that last statement.
The practice test last week was a disaster. I was more brain dead than I thought possible. The questions seemed really oblique and I missed major issues. I could feel myself spinning off in the wrong direction. At then end, I just wanted to take a week off. I was exhausted and frustrated and completely brain dead.
Anyway-- I have another practice exam today, but a kind of chopped-up version. I have MCs in one session and then a performance exam in another. I'm actually looking forward to just doing MCs-- I'm tired of reviewing (read: memorizing) and outlining essays. My hand hurts from all the outlining I've been doing.
I'll let you know how it all goes!
