Lauren- if that $292 is life changing then cancel it (there have been times in my life where that amount could make or break me, I do understand) but if it isn't I encourage you to take it! You will feel so amazing once you pass! :D

I'm so torn.
I have been studying for 3 months and take the test in 3 weeks. I took the test years ago and failed. It shattered me. I finally decided I would try again this year.
In the past 2 weeks things have drastically changed in my work career and I needed to change jobs. I am still a CSN, but the new district doesn't compensate for national certification. My old district would have given me $2500 if I passed and $2k every following year. If I follow through and take the test I will be out $692. If I cancel I will only be out $400.
I know that taking the test and passing would make me feel accomplished, but I can't stop thinking about the extra money I could save if I just cancel.
Like I said I am so torn about this choice.

I test next Friday also! I am so ready for it to be over at this point! LOL
I just keep reviewing and if something isn't sticking I've been writing it down to see if that helps me remember.

Hi all,
As my test time is approaching, I am just reaching out to see how everyone else is doing. I have taken this test last year & didn't go so well. I am planning to take it next Friday!! I know I will pass this time since I feel more prepared, but also decided if it shouldn't go so well again I will take it at the end of July. But honestly, not planning to have to do that & will enjoy the rest of my summer. Wondering if there is any last-minute things you think I should be doing? I'm wishing you all good luck & know we will all pass! This group has been great.
Thanks so much & enjoy the beautiful weather.
Warmly,
Denise
