@Paul: Excellent outcome despite the difficulties, Paul. I felt and
saved all your well-written and emotive posts. My immediate feeling
was that your emotions were akin to those I felt when I passed my code
test in the Boy Scouts after sitting behind a quiet garage of a
neighbor for two hours of cramming in three and five letter groups
before taking my test. My next move, four years later, was to screw my
key onto a 6x1.5x3/4 inch block of steel stock so that I could rest it
on the arm-rest of my car to get my speed up while driving in my
various cars, starting with my '41 Cadillac convertible. As Ever,

I've been cramming as much into my brain as I can from the Extra class
study materials...
Tomorrow morning at 9AM I head down to the local library, plunk down my
$15, and hope that I get at least 37 questions right out of 50. And
that's
50 out of a total possible of 702.
I've been taking practice exams all week and have been scoring in the
high
80%'s to mid-90's, so I feel fairly confident that I can overcome
nerves.
My big concern is that I will get a test that's 90% complex formulas
requiring algebra and stuff... you aren't allowed to have the formulas
on a
sheet, you have to remember all of them, and remember which ones apply
to
which situation...
Something that, in the world of Google, is kinda pointless. If you
understand what the situation is asking for, you can look up the exact
formula in 10 seconds instead of having to try and correctly pull it
from
your brain.
If things go well, I will be WD9GCO/AE by 10AM.
