The first section I marked the first SEVEN questions for review that is how unsure I was feeling. I can't tell you if the testlets got harder - it seemed like in some aspects they did but I did not mark as many for review in the next two testlets. The first sim I laughed at as it was something that was just touched on by my review (Yaeger) it had to do with a long calculation - I barely even recognized the components so hopefully that was a test sim. I did feel pretty good about the second sim - it was an area for the most part that I was expecting to see. Communications were fine/research tabs were fine. All in all a long day in the salt mines. Oh - one more thing - I started the sims with 1 hr and 40 mins to go and finished up with about 10 mins left.

First of all, congrats on sitting for the exam. Second, it seems like you were just nervous when you began the test and that is why you marked the first seven questions. You just needed to get relaxed and into a zone. You probably did better than you think you did. You should think positive. There are plenty of people on this forum who walked out of an exam and thought the worst and passed with high marks.

Good luck.
