The Big Day

Tomorrow I go in to test my fate against the Series 7 Gods. I have put in nearly 200 hours worth of study time, and I'm just hoping it's all stuck upstairs somewhere!

I'm taking tonight to relax, eat a good meal, watch some TV and get a good nights rest. I will NOT cram. I refuse to cram - at this point, if I don't know it, I don't know it.

The Series 7 exam, for those of you that are not familiar with it - The test is 6 hours in duration, 2 sections, 3 hours per section with a minimum of a 30 minute break. It's a test that will put me on the road to becoming a licensed securities representative (along with the Series 66 which comes next). In the industry, it's every one's Mt. Everest. Most of us have been through it at one point in time or another. 54% of the people who take the test pass the first time. I hope to be among that 54%.

One of my commuter buddies prayed with me tonight. TC held my hands and prayed for me. She kept telling me that God was talking to her and that she keeps hearing the number 83. I'm going to get an 83%. I really hope she (and GOD) is right about that.

Pass or Fail, I'm proud of myself. This was a test I never wanted to attempt because I didn't think I was smart enough or had enough determination to take on. If I don't pass, I plan on taking the weekend off, and then hitting the books again to pass it 30 days from now. If I pass it, I will CELEBRATE all weekend long, then start reading the Series 66 material on Monday.

Either way, If you're talking to God tonight - Put in a good word for me.
Wish me luck!
