Re: AM I READING RIGHT?

Johnny,

I am sure you are studying hard and based on what i am reading you are
knowledgable as well, but the written can be done in 4 days if you wanted
to, but when it comes to the lab, you must agree that it takes some serious
studying.

Even the written requires some serious studying, unless one goes to test
preps. (I did NOT say that you did that). Reading 10 books, will take about
a month or two to complete, and its NOT reading ONLY, its understanding it
all so you can pass the test.

BTW, i think you will do it, because you say to yourself "I have to", which
is GR8.
