Well, you probably are prepared for it, or your instructor wouldn't have told you to test. No luck about it, enjoy the day--we always celebrated afterwards with a dinner out-my kids tested together but then I joined so more tests. TW

Thanks. I'm not too worried. Like many of you said, he doesn't test until we are ready.

I view the belts a a marker of where I've come, not really a goal in their own right, so I practice and train with the intention of getting better every day and trying to be good at what I've been trained at, so..

Ditto to that. You shouldnt need luck to pass, so I wont wish you any. Have a good day and do your best. Thats all anyone can hope to do.

Freep, you're ready. You'll rock. Just do what you've been trained to do, remember your breathing, train better than you think you need to before hand and in future.

GO GET 'EM!!!

Jay,

You'll do fine. Visualize yourself performing each aspect of your test well!

I tested last night and was awarded my Yellow Belt tonight. I'm relieved :) I didn't really prepare so maybe I was more nervous that I should've been (I figure I either know it or I don't and I practice doing something every day, so I didn't really 'cram' or do much different leading up to it) My instructor thought I did very well and more importantly, he said that my hard work and dedication are inspiring to both the younger and older students....that's really cool

Thanks, all
