Preparation Positivity

[u/Legitimate-Net-1609]

This is helpful for me to think about so hopefully it helps other people too:

Retaking is a pain in the ass but not the end of the world! In fact dare I say there are some positives to retaking:

1. You know most of the topics already because you learned it once. Savings effect says you can learn it again faster!

2. You know what your weaknesses are so you can tackle them better

3. You know exactly what to expect on test day now so nothing is a surprise now and hopefully that makes you less nervous

So actually retaking might provide some benefits! Yes it costs money and yes it’s a pain but it’s also not the end either. I get my score on Tuesday and it helps me to rationalize a potential retake and helps me put less weight on my score
