[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]If all goes well - tomorrow WILL mark the END of my pursuit for my degree; it's only been 26 years since I first began this crazy ride. Of course all good things must come to and end (not) and although I will take the "final-final" tomorrow I probably will not receive my grade much sooner than those pesky dantes exams (2-3 weeks).
In any event, I will do my best (shades of college math clep - CRAP!) and hope to pass with as miserable a grade as possible - but a "pass is a pass." Actually, I have a 82 (B) for the classs and MUST pass the final in order to pass the course.
I sit the exam at 1100 hours (est) and only have 1 hour to complete around 15-20 questions ranging from formulas, basic to intermediate algebra, logarithms, and the metric system. It is an open book test, which is to say that I may be able to look for solution methods but not the actual problem and/or solution.
Keep your fingers crossed...............

All possible extremities crossed for you!
That's great about it being an open book test; it would seem that you would have so many options for help with solving problems, finding formulas, similar examples etc...
Good luck!! Good thoughts headed your way!! I know it's been a really long journey. For me it will be 31 years!
