~Tests~

Ok...so there has been kind of a neglect when it comes to my blog lately. Well...there is a reason for that. Four weeks ago, my application finally got approved to get my securities license (I first applied in July...so it took much longer then I wanted it to). As soon as I got approved, I knew I was no where near ready, so I took some time off work, and started cramming! It was super stressful because there was so much information that was new, not to mention that the product knowledge that I had to know for the test was very different then the product knowledge that I have learned so far...so trying to keep those straight was a challenge. My first test was on the 22nd of October, and it went really well. This was the test that had the most information so I pretty much spend 3 weeks just studying for it. The test went super well, I pretty much knew the whole time I was taking it that I was going to pass. My second test was on the 29th, the day before all the halloween festivities started. I figured it'd be good to get it out of the way before the holidays. So I spent a week studying for it, which I thought was enough time. But when I went into take the test, I realized how much information was on the test that was not in the reading. It was by far the absolute worst test I've ever taken in my life. I knew that out of the 60 questions, I only had 3 that were for sure right. The rest were pretty much just guesses. Luckily, I'm a pretty good guesser and by some miracle, still passed, but it was aweful! I'm so glad that I never have to take that test again. But, it was all worth it, because now I can sale some absolutely amazing products (and what's more...I don't have to tell people that I can't tell them about something that I know) which is going to be awesome! All in all, it's a relief to be done and to move on with life.
