Back

Now that life has returned to somewhat normal, I will recap what has been happening the past few weeks.


Test

As mentioned earlier, I passed my certification exam. I am now a Laboratory Animal Technician. The computerized test was 155 questions in length and I had 2.5 hours to complete it. This was slightly different from the 150 questions and 3 hour time limit I was expecting. A few times I had to tell my self to slow down and take my time. I was more than a bit nervous. When I had done all the questions, and reviewed them several times it was time to submit my results. The fun thing about the computer exam is that you get to find our almost immediately if you passed or not. After submitting my test, it took about 10-15 seconds for my score to come back. Most certainly the longest seconds of my life. I did pass, but that is all they tell you. I do not know what the passing rate for the exam was, nor will they inform me when I get my certificate. But that is okay. I can certainly live with that.


Job Interview

A few days after my test I had a job interview. I think it went rather well, which is a significant improvement over how I felt after the last interview I went on. I hopefully should be finding out in the next 7 days whether or not they want me. If so, yay. If not, it's back to the drawing board.




Those were the major things. I'm glad both are over. I don't think I could have handled much more stress.
