Thank you all. I feel a little better today. I was thinking last night why I failed and I realized that something is off with my study habits. I did not do it religiously as I suppose to. I broke the cardinal rules of studying by:
1. I went fishing in the weekends or even after 7pm during the weekdays of my study time.
2. I took off one whole week having fun at the beach two months prior to my exam.
3. I had a stressful week before my exam, my boyfriend bought me a new car and sold the old one, and then I had to worry about registering it and went to DMV just to find out that the office is closed for the Holidays.
4. The day of my exam, I had to be at DMV early in the morning to register my car and drove it to the exam site in the afternoon (which I had not visited before - got to find it thru mapquest).
5. I was not relaxed when I got to the exam site. I was hungry. I did not eat lunch. I was literally shaking.
Lessons Learned: I have to be very prepared and plan ahead. But even if I had all the abovementioned things as obstacles, if I really studied very hard and gave myself extra effort for look for some topics that I feel I was missing in my review, and studied it as well... I could have made it.
But it's never too late. I'll pick myself up and dust and move along. Thank you all for your uplifting words...Congratulations to those who passed. And for those candidates who did not make it like me, we have to do it again until we get our license. Never surrender!
