Honestly, my first thought was, "Good luck on the Praxis!"
Ok, but, no, seriously, if test taking is an issue for you, for instance because of timing, maybe you qualify for testing accommodations? Like for anxiety? I have them for that very reason. It helped me immensely on the GRE, and I will definitely need them for the Praxis as well. I say this because I know someone who qualifies and was at first unaware such things existed, but was then too stubborn to get them, and now what? She's flunking out of grad school. I guess it's things like this that frustrate me, because I told her so. I understand the shame and worry associated with having accommodations: What will my professors think of me? What will my classmates think? Will everyone notice that I'm not taking the test with them? I can tell you from experience, your professors will think a lot worse of you if you fail (or, in my case, skip) a test than if you do well with appropriate accommodations.
I'm as brutally honest with others as I am with myself. If I'm honest, this doesn't always work well for me, either. I can go to that dark place very easily because of self destructing thoughts. I need to be nicer to myself too. Your response to me above was very powerful I think. You have a strong voice, and I'm sure you will make a great leader in the field of Speech-Language Pathology. And yes I know, test scores are not a reflection of anything. We all have bad days. Or several thousand. I'd be one of the first to sign the petition to ban the GRE from admissions' decisions. I'm excited for the day you give me the middle finger and become an
The GRE are a joke. Absolutely no connection on how one will do in school. I took them after completing a MS degree. My poor scores don't reflect I graduated with a 3.75 GPA.
