sweating to the exam
I took my ELS exam this afternoon. The weather was cold and damp and windy. I had no trouble getting to the Silver Spring metro and getting to GWU, and I ended up there quite early.It's a dinky inn– whatever picture they're using on their Web site is not what the place actually looks like, so no nice lunch before test. I did manage to walk around a bit and found a Starbucks, so I had a sandwich and some tea there (or the innards of a sandwich, anyway, sinceI'm having gluten problems these days). The test was hard. I'm hoping I'll pass it, but it might be just barely.They tell you in the study materials that there are 300 questions, but there were actually only 110, and I barely got done with them in 3 hours.Some of the questions were a little strange– a few dealt with the Board's code of ethics, and that made me mad, because the study guide is so vague and doesn't tell you what to study, so there was no mention that that would be on the exam.When I got home, I tried to look up their code of ethics on their web site, but couldn't find them anywhere, so I don't see how they can ask questions about that if you have no access to the information. That doesn't seem fair.
