I had to pace myself with my reading the first half of this month, since I was testing for my license in therapy. Yes, I kept on reading, but I made sure not to read too much. It's a great way to do self-care and relax, but I must admit that the way I like to read makes me neglect the things I need to focus on.
I buckled down and readied myself for the test, and I recognized my own ADHD tendencies. With ADHD, it's not abnormal to wait until the night before to study for an exam, and with this one, I had not had success doing this. So, I needed to take 3-4 hours a day to just sit down and focus, which is not easy for me.
The test has been completed, but I don't have a score yet. Why? Well, it's graded on a curve AND there are experimental questions that count less or don't count at all, and that takes a while to score. It's been hell refreshing my inbox repeatedly, but the last day they'll send test results will be in June. Y'all, listen... if I passed, I passed, but it didn't feel like I passed, but my test prep program said that this was normal to feel when you actually did pass. I can always take it again... in 4 months. If I qualify for my license, it will open all different avenues of income to me, finally! And I will be a licensed counselor who can pursue developed paths.
Getting past the exam has been a relief, even if I don't know if I scored well enough. I'm getting back to reading and being social and seeing friends. But that's not what you're here for, right? Bring on the book reviews!
