Jade, no one ever feels like they did the best they could at testing - I know I never do. No matter what I do well, I always focus on the parts that weren't as good as I wanted them to be. As long as you did the best you could and showed improvement, that's all that really matters.

Thanks for letting us know how it went.


I agree, that those I know even the most arrogant will say I think I nailed except for , ..., . Personally I always come away going I thought I trained and practiced but I guess I have to do even more.

I have to agree with Kasey on this, I always feel really bad after a test, for anything and am oftern pleasantly surprised by a better that expected result. So feeling like you've not done as well as you would have liked is pretty normal.


Being sore the next day is a good sign that things are certainly better than they were a few months ago.

I have to say that if you don't leave a test, whether physical or academic, thinking that you could've done better then either you're a wunderkind or overladen with self-confidence.

In my own experience, every time I think I've done great has been a time where I didn't fully understand the 'question' :D.

I think it's great that you're wrestling with this. I don't trust any MA-ist (& most other folks) that say, "I've got it all together" in their discipline.

Your's in the struggle,
