Remember...poorly couldn't be too bad - you got a 72!  So you scored in the mid 60's on your performance report for A3 and A5...you'll be fine! 

It's really important for you to stay positive for the next few days (until you sit).  The one thing I realized tonight (called my father to talk about my exam strategy and what I did during the exam)....I realized that the sections that my peformance summary came back week, I was slower at completing those problems on the exam.  If we're slower, then we aren't as confident about what we're doing. 

I would think about the MCQ's and the parts of the simulation that you had to think longer on (I don't care if you ultimately got it right) because that's where you lacked confidence and probably where you need to work more on!

You said you were okay on A1, A2, & A4!  At this point, I would look at which section (A3 or A5) has the greater weight and make sure you can be fluent with those types of problems as you are with A1, A2, & A4! 

If you could please let me know how this advice works for you, I would appreciate it.  I'm going to be implementing this same advice for myself.  I was in time trouble with REG and didn't finish the 2nd simulation - I'm certain this hurt my grade.  The simulation that I did do, I know I did well on - I checked and have a good memory.  Unfortunately, I think I spent a lot of time on a simulation that didn't count.  Because of this, I need to make sure that once 30 minutes ends, I move on!  Each simulation must get equal time because I don't know which one will count.
