Basic vs. Clinical

[judecorp]

I decided to register for the easy exam. When taking practice exams, I'm scoring about 85% on the Basic exam (you need about a 70% to pass) and about 65% on the Clinical exam (which has a lot of stuff on things I will learn in the field over two years, like insurance stuff and administrative stuff and supervision stuff). Since I want to take this as soon as possible after my two week period (I can make my appointment starting June 27th), and since so much other crap (cr*p?) is going on right now that would preclude doing a lot of cramming and studying and researching and stressing, I think I'm going to worry about the harder exam when I have the two years' experience. Who knows - by the time the two years of supervision are completed, I might not want to be a therapist.

So I coughed up the $175 to take an exam I can pass without really preparing. I don't need any more uncertainties right now. I need to pass. Still, I feel kind of like a slacker or something. Or worse, a failure. I'm upset that I'm not scoring higher on those Clinical practice exams. Overachiever, I know.

Interesting. I spotted a LJ bug. Apparently you can't use a percent sign.

Perhaps we must use % to get our point across.

I hypothesize that there's a big difference between:

100% [which was me typing "100%"]

and 100% [which was me typing "100%"]

We'll find out after this posts, I guess.
