Just want to ask you all to try to send me your collective brain power August 11th, 0945 am central time, US. I will be taking my SBB exam then and I am petrified. It seems no amount of studying makes me feel better. I am getting in 2 hours each day of studying, going over mock exam questions and re-reading the technical manual and all my reference books. Anyhoo, be thinking of me then!

Good luck Lara! Staying calm is half the battle. Your brain works better that way!

I will send you good thoughts.

I took the test earlier this month and studied like you did. It helps.

The very best of luck Lara, but from your intelligent posts, luck shouldn't come in to it!

Hope all goes well Lara, take care of yourself leading up to the exam...and think of how you could really chillout afterwards.

Best wishes

Good Luck!

My best hint is 'Don't second guess!' Answer the question and don't go back to it unless you are certain your answer is wrong. And listen to that little voice in your head...sometimes it knows the correct answer when your conscious self isn't so sure.

Good luck!!! The one piece of advice I would add is to NOT study the day before the exam! (If you haven't learned it yet, you are probably not going to learn anything new that last day before the exam!) Relax, join friends for an early supper, don't imbibe, and get a good night's sleep. You'll do fine..... you sound like a pretty smart cookie!!

Take a notebook with you and leave it in your car. When you are done with the test, and back in your car, write down all the questions and answers you can remember. Someday, somewhere, someone will ask you what the test was like, and you will have all those notes to refer to

Good luck!

(Make sure you know coag!)

Lara,

You should be in the middle of your SBB exam. I am sending you positive thoughts.

Lara,

I've been sending you positive thoughts this morning. You are probably wrapping up your exam by now. How did it go?

Being a little late, I am sure you did well. I studied for the BB way back in 87 with a newborn at home--just reviewing the Tecnical Manual. I am sure you did wonders!!!!

Hi ! You replied to one of my very few posts. that was when I was preparing for my SBB exam. well, i saw that you are so vigilant in sending your unconditional encouragement to all future SBBs. That is so very nice of you. Well, good to say, your encouragemnt to yours truly worked. I passed my SBB exam. Thank you so much. God Bless you aways!
