Currently: I finally took the test 2 days ago and it was...well, it was what it was. It wasn't so much the content I had a problem with-the content was actually quite fair and a lot easier than I thought it would be- but more with time management. You basically get 4 hours to answer 200 questions, and I know that sounds like enough time to complete that many questions, but its really not. The questions may have been fairly easy, but you have to read through the entire question and really think about the question and possible answers to answer correctly...that takes up to 3-5 minutes. So before you know it, you're already down to only 1 hour of testing and you're only on question 75! It is not an easy test to take for that reason alone. So basically, my confidence is not very high for this one.Haha But I have already come up with a Master Plan for the next couple of months. I plan basically to find a full-time temporary office job-most likely as a receptionist or data entry specialist. During this time, I will continue to study and practice answering questions in a timely manner. I will also use this time to do other things like FINALLY put my car up for sale and begin re-paying my student loans. And once I am qualified to test again, I will re-schedule, re-take, and hopefully pass the test. And then from there I can apply for licensure and notify the Rehab agency I have been keeping in touch with so that they can send me on some interviews...and then FINALLY I can start working as an occupational therapist! So basically, I have a long road ahead of me for the rest of this year and into 2012.
