Hello, everybody!
Regardless, I appreciate your prayers and support. This forum is amazing and you are each encouraging and uplifting. I CAN"T EXPRESS how hard I was praying on this one. Last night, I felt unprepared, as I focused on alot of indy study rather than MAINLY (to exclusively) IC study; alot of people said IC wasn't enough, so I thought it wise to branch out. In so doing, my IC time was limited, and right before the test I was scoring low on the practice tests. I was very close to rescheduling. You can imagine my face when I left the testing center with a 74! I wanted to do a Maria von Trapp heel-to-heel leap in the testing center! God is so good! On the way home, of course, I had to stop at the library and get some more books! Thank you all for your worrying and praying! DANTES Tech Writing is up next!

Becky Can,
I studied from Barron's EZ-101 Study Key American History to 1877, as I could not find the Cliff's Notes History I at any bookstore in a one hour radius from me. You will do great! I'm sorry to hear about your computer! I had that happen one time under a crunch to design business materials. I'm alway worried about it happening again before a test!
