As someone who has taken them recently, I can tell you--they are fun!<br /><br />My best advice, one piece obvious and the other maybe not . . . . <br /><br />1) Know the material and your responses backwards and forwards. It should pour out of you unthinkingly. I got to this point, and it made everything much much easier.<br /><br />2) Be calm about it, and have fun with it. I walked in the first day to my comps cracking jokes, trying to bring some levity to things. Some didn't take too kindly to my lack of seriousness at this point, but I also ended up doing much better than those who were much less jovial on that day. Have fun expressing what you know.John Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484259391366235795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613525030683671127.post-67421845963518506332009-07-02T20:18:15.006-07:002009-07-02T20:18:15.006-07:00Sounds like a wise move.
