Hi!

I have jsut found out about this forum two weeks ago and I am so grateful for all the discussions on this forum. I have a decision to make and will highly appreciate it if you can help me out.

I got my NTS yesterday, which is only 5 days after my initial application was mailed. I thought it would take around 7 weeks to get my NTS and thus, I applied and paid for all 4 sections. I had hoped that I would have until around November to take the exams. However, My NTS says that I have to take all four sections before 09/02/2010. Part of me wants to spread out the 4 sections thru Nov (2 before and 2 after Sep) so that I would have more time to prepare. The other part of me wants to take all of them by 09/02/10 because I do not want to lose money by postponding two sections until Oct and Nov (I have to re-apply and forfeit the fees I previously paid).

Somehow I find it impossible for me to pass all four sections before Sep. I just started to prepare for the exam today (03/03/10). I am an average student (3.5 GPA) and graduated in May 2007. I forgot almost everything I learned in college. I work full time and have a 10-yr-old daughter and a 2-yr-old baby to take care of. I think can only devote 16 hours to study each week.

Could you please help me decide which option to pick (take all 4 before Sep vs. 2 before and 2 after Sep plus losing money).

Thank you in advance for your help!
