Emergency Planning

No one likes to think that something could go wrong; however unexpected things do happen.  Having a backup plan never hurt, and will give you some peace of mind plus help to keep your anxiety level down. Think about some of the following and how you will deal with it if it happens:

• Who will cover on-call/emergencies?

• Who will work the night before the test?

• Who will manage the kids/pets?

• When will you shop for healthy foods?

• Who will you get to care for ill kids, pets, or husbands/wives?

• What will you do if the car doesn’t start?

• What if you get a flat tire?

• What will you do if traffic is bad?

• What alternate routes are available to the testing site?

• When do you need to go to bed the night before?

• What will you eat the morning of the exam?

• What content will you study the night before the exam?

• Will you need a hotel room the night before the exam?

• How will you pace yourself during the exam?

• How will you reward yourself for preparing and taking the exam?
