Personal Considerations: list out all the things going on in your life as you are
graduating that will influence or may impede your study/review process:

insurance after mine runs out at the end of February, and finding time to look for
a job.

Exam Blue Print Document (link on After FW advising form and discussed on
1/25/17):
This has helped me guide my studying to focus on interventions. Knowing that

focus on (especially since it has been consistently my lowest score on the OTKE
and practice exam).

How was your timing during the exam? Did you complete it within the

myself keeping one eye on the clock and doing mental calculations of how long I
should spend on each remaining question. I may have gotten distracted by it and
rushed through some questions.
