> I passed my CNA exam today with a 94%!  Man, was it a pain in the butt.
> What's more, there were a confluence of bad events leading up to the test.
>  I spend 2-4 hours each night this past month studying.  I took practice
> exam after practice exam.  Yesterday, my Windows W.S. died due to a
> keyboard controller failure.  I now need a new mb.  I was able to
> re-download one of the test suites I have, but I lost my progress and had
> to start all over.

> Today, I arrived at the testing center by 9:25.  I spend 20 minutes
> cramming and went in with plenty of time.  I was rejected from taking the
> exam because my drivers license was expired.  Boy, was I ready to kill
> someone.  Luckily, in this day and age, I was able to renew my license at
> a notary via electronic registration.  I called prometric and begged to
> reschedule the exam.  They said if the testing center could not fit me in
> I would have to shell out another $125.  Luckily sylvan fit me in.  I went
> to American Plaza and had my photo taken and a new license was in my hands
> a mere hour after I left the exam place.

> I won't babble on anymore...  Now I only have to take 6 more exames to get
