on exam day, i walking around the place where i thought the test center was, asking people where the hell the test center is, and realizing 15 mins later, that i was nowhere near it since nobody knew anything about it. i would have called a few a friends of mine who took the exam before but i decided to leave my phone at home and not bring anything but my permit and red bull. i walked around drenched in the heavy rain for 30 mins looking for an internet cafe that would open early before 8am to get the test address. then slowly as exam time drew nearer i got more anxious. one internet cafe found... closed - opens 9am.... another one found.... opens 9:30am... then all the walking paid off and i finally found an internet access, got the address and rode a taxi. got in the exam late, anxious and off focus.
recklessness, a lesson learned the hard way. i went to the place 6 months ago with a friend of mine that took the exam that month. then i was so sure where it was and didn't check it again. then the exam anxiety just threw me off my memory of where the place was and got lost in the turns. do not spend the last minute trying to read like i did. spend it making sure everything is prepared. do not make the same mistake i made!!
