Thumbs up I passed them both!

I am so fried right now, but it was worth it!

I passed US History I with a 63 and American Lit, which counts as 6 UL credits at IU, with a 65. That's nine big ones today! Thank you IC!!

Both tests were the toughest I've faced yet, especially the US History I, more concepts and narrow ranges of dates, and similar answers...choose the best time questions...

My heart was beating fast when I clicked on "proceed" both times...

Thanks so much for all the support. It helps to know I can drive home (an hour away) and post here to people who understand the process.

Yipee!!!!

You know, I am the same way when I am done with a particularly exhausting exam. I try to have chocolate and ice water ready in the car so that I can make it home without falling asleep.

I think it has something to do with being intensely and absolutely focused on the exam for the full duration, and then suddenly "letting go" once it is over. It is mentally draining.

Usually, by the time I get home, I am ready to take a nap. If it was a particularly stressful exam, I often have an aching back and sore shoulders the morning after. I can only assume this is from being in a "tensed" posture during the entire exam.

I am trying to make it a habit to relax and roll my head and shoulders whenever I remember during the exam. It seems to be helping....but I often get so caught up in the questions that I forget to RELAX!

Backache and naps....I must be getting old! LOL
