911 Emergency Exam Went Well--I think...

Well, tonight I finally wrote the 911 Emergency Dispatcher Exam. I walked out of there feeling GREAT! I need 70% on each part of the exam in order to qualify for the second round. That's right. This is JUST the first part!
The first part of the exam was on Toronto geography--boy have I been worried about this one. However--I knew all the hospitals down pat, major intersections not a problem and major roadways easy peasy. Great success!!
The second part of the exam was on medical terminology. OK...so I spent most of my time studying geography. I reasoned that with the death of my grandmother and the limited time I had left to study; I should focus on the parts that I felt least comfortable with. I figured I knew enough about anatomy and physiology to be OK with the medical part. Watching all of those nature shows, baby stories and university biology classes MUST have done me some good. There are only 45 questions, so I need 32 questions to get the 70%.
I answered 30 with no problem. The other 15 I took educated guesses on. Some were obvious, some not so much.
So, I handed in all of my material, and walked out of there strutting my stuff. I MUST have done well....positive thinking, positive energy, hard work and educated guessing got me there.
So, what do I do? I go home and look at my study notes.
Dang; got that question wrong.
That one too.
Grr. Not another.
Is that what I answered for that question? I don't even know.
WHY DID I DO THIS!
So, now I'm not so sure how I did. I hate second guessing myself. I'm trying to shake off this negative energy and get back into that positive feeling that I was in when I initially walked out. Ugh. Think good things, I need all the help I can get!!

Hooray for good feelings after a test!
Don't worry about checking up on your answers and second-guessing, won't make a difference anyway and you'll only stress yourself out even more.
1 hurdle down, a whole bunch more to go!
