I'm thinking hard about rescheduling. I have until 9 am tomorrow to decide. Here's why I go back and forth and why I was looking for some sort of an objective gauge.
I've studied for this exam for a month -- I'm not trying to rush things, but I also don't want to fall back into my pattern of taking 1 exam every 6 months. I can drag preparation out for a very long time if I let myself and have a tendency to over-prepare. Also, I mistyped earlier. I'm between 90 - 97% on the flashcards when randomized.
For this exam, I've used the Sparknotes Civil War book, Civil War for Dummies, 2 audiobooks, 3 DVD series, InstantCert & the forums, and 2 podcasts.
I think I'm probably freaking out over nothing, but at the same time I'd rather wait three weeks than six months. (And have no problem waiting if I need the time.) Without a practice test as a gauge, I'm floundering a bit on the "readiness scale."
Just trying to find the line between "acquire all possible knowledge" and "reasonable preparation."
