How to grow a spine and take the test
Hello everybody, a lot of people say the last year drags but honestly it's just been a constant build of anxiety for me. It went so fast and I passed all my tests and whatnot but I'm still deathly afraid of taking the state test. I've screwed myself extra because I've procrastinated to the point my test will be on the 2026 code cycle. My reasoning (excuse) is that my local prides itself on having a high turnout rate on the first try of the test and many people in my class took it several times just so they could stop showing up except for test nights. I thought that that was wrong being that the turnout rate is one of the last things my dying local has to compete with the nonunion electricians. So I think I've put extra pressure on myself in that I can't fail. Are there any tips for people that might've thought the same thing or put off taking the test for similar reasons? I still haven't even scheduled my test :/
