Default Am I ready to take my first test?

Okay - I am taking Principles of Supervision. This will be my first test...
I started studying about a week ago. I have gone through the flash cards about 3 -4 times and I took the practice DANTE exam in the DANTE study guide and I am answering 70-80 percent correctly...

Am I ready???...thinking about going for it on Saturday...

There's really not a reliable way for anyone to answer that question... do you feel that you're ready? You said that you're thinking of taking it on Saturday... Why not use the time between now and then to make sure that you are hitting the 90-95% range instead of 70-80%? Certainly that will help your chances.

Best of luck!

I'd say you're ready. You might also run through the "Principles of Management" flashcards a time or two, as they contain some additional stuff that may show up on your test.

You can do it!!!

I remember reading one or two posts of people failing these. It's pretty rare. I'd imagine these are individuals who might be more detail-oriented than concept-oriented, and who might have limited background in business.
