This is the beauty of exams; they do not count as hours in the real world. They are a bit more realistic and I like that. I love to take tests because they force me to think, to learn and to be responsible. I am learning more about myself every day while I am sitting through my MBE. I am paying close attention to everything I am studying because I am learning something every day. This is not always fun but it is good for me.
I cannot imagine sitting in one place for hours. My eyes will start to water and my hands are sweaty from the concentration. Well, at least I did enjoy it. I took my time and concentrated. There were some parts of the course that I had trouble with and this also made it more enjoyable.
Taking my MBE is really not as hard as people make it out to be. It is just a matter of paying attention and having patience. One thing I learned during my preparation was not to listen to anyone who gives me bad advice. People are going to give you bad advice no matter what they are saying. Sometimes they even mean to help. Listen to them!
I started taking my MBE last year before my Chinese language exposure. I knew I was going to fail miserably but I figured it would help me focus during my prep. That is exactly what I did. The first week I only focused on reading and writing and that gave me a big head start. Then on Day 1 I started taking some MBE practice tests.
The very next day I went over to the bank and spoke with the teller about the MBE test. I was so nervous I almost got nervous myself. She was nice enough to not talk about the exam in general but she explained that it is a complicated exam and that they have extensive study guides. I really wanted to know what she was talking about so I asked her.
She told me that I should probably consider taking an online MBE preparation course. She was nice enough to let me know that I will not feel any pressure once I take my MBE and that it is something I should consider before I take my test. Well, that is when I decided to take an online course. I found a course that was actually created by someone who had actually sat for the MBE and he had all of his MBE practice questions. I was able to sit for my practice exams knowing all of the topics that I would be tested on.
I was able to save a lot of time because I could go over the topics I need to know in my review. There were even sections on why certain MBE questions are important. Now all that is left is to go over my notes and get ready to take my MBE. I am excited!
The day for me to take my MBE is still a few weeks away. I will have to make my plans in advance, but I am very sure that I am going to do just fine. I think I am going to enjoy taking the MBE. I will definitely gain valuable experience on how to answer tough MBE questions. I will be able to use my study time more efficiently. It has been a long time since I took an official MBE exam.
Besides, I am definitely not going to procrastinate and leave my work and family obligations in order to take this test. I feel that if I was going to take this exam, then I should be ready to do whatever I have to do to be prepared. I am fully committed to getting ready and prepared for my Chinese proficiency exam. I am proud to be fully prepared and ready to take my MBE.
I am also excited because I now know that I can accomplish my goal and get the job I want. I am finally able to wake up every morning with the knowledge that I need to be successful. So I am taking my MBE because I am fully prepared to pass and get the new job!
