The last week before the exam comes pretty quick doesn’t it?
Some people think that this is the most critical studying time… and maybe it is, but what are you really going to learn this week that you didn’t know last week?
I’m sure there were a few middle fingers at that statement, but seriously – relax.
Most of you have been studying for months and have probably become pretty comfortable with the material, have a method of analysis that works for you, etc. but the proximity to the exam date is what worries you.
This is normal.
This Week
Do whatever it takes to get your confidence up. Is there certain music that gets you feeling pumped? Listen to it.
Is there a favourite food you haven’t had in awhile? Have it.
Is there a certain movie that makes you laugh or get relaxed? Watch it.
Whatever tools you utilize during stressful times – go ahead and use them now. The quality of studying you have done in preparation for exam day will influence your results. If you are confident you have studied the best you can and utilize a problem solving approach, you should do well!
Be sure you know where your exam location is, go by it this week – recognize that it is your turf and in a week’s time you’ll be walking out a CHRP (unfortunately you will need to wait for official results)!
Week 11 Update
Judging by the answers on the Facebook group discussion board everyone seems pretty confident that the best answer is:
A) Tell James that if Greg would like to discuss the outcomes of the hiring decisions with you that you would be happy to do so with him.
This is correct!
As a hiring manager what takes place during the interview process is between you and the applicants. Any breach of this can put you in a legal minefield.
I don’t have a new case for you this week… ya sorry… I think the most important thing to do now is to do a review of everything, brush up on some terms, and try not to overwhelm yourself.
