Hi Tony,

Again, sorry for not responding sooner. You mentioned in your earlier post that you faced some test anxiety. I'm not sure if you'll see this response at this point, but for those who may read it: managing anxiety throughout the test can be a challenge, and it is something worth practicing. Part of the reason I suggest doign your practice tests timed, without pausing, and with doing the essays, is to similate the real experience. Other anxiety-lessening practices include: deep breathing, good posture, and getting lots of rest before the test. Of course, there's really no anxiety-reducer quite like being well prepared.
