Is it ok to say I'm a genius???

Ok, so maybe not really, but I sure do feel like it.

I have been working in the Life Insurance/Investments feild for a good 10 months now, and FINALLY got my 2 bosses together to send me to the pre-licensing class and then to take my licensing exam.

Took the class at the beginning of the month. Now, I know I'm smart. Not that I'm concedied, but I've always been pretty quick. After the class I felt good about it, because I already have an edge up on any newbies. But I was till HELLA nervous, confident, but nervous.

First of all, I felt like the odds were against me, because 95% of all the people that I've seen take this test since I have been here this year, have had to take it 3 and 4 times, and then just barely passed it with a 73 or 74. Passing is a 70, and these kids were just out of college. I had been telling myself (and everybody else) that I WAS GOING TO pass it my first time. I HAD to, for me.

So yesterday was the big day. I had been studying as much as I could for the past week and re-read everything over the weekend.

I had to drive to the next city over, about an hour away to take it. Lucky I have family there. Got to have lunch with my awesome cousin Hana, and then is was game time. I was so nervous, I couldn't stop shaking. Now this is a pretty big deal. The test center is vidio monitored, you have to be fingerprinted, and can"t even wear a watch to take the test.

After I signed in and was verified to be myself, it was time. It is a timed test (2.5 hours) with 150 questions. Now I said I've been working with Life Insurance, but the test consists of Life, Health, Accident, Annuities, Long Term Care, Medicare, Tax laws, and just General Insurance basics.

I took my time, and read each question carefully. Reviewed the ones I wasn"t 100% sure of, then double checked all of them since I had time to spare. When I hit the button to stop the review, I closed my eyes. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I was sweating, I was in so much anticipation of the results.

When I opened my eyes, I couldn't even find the score. Then I saw it 84%. WAAAAAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I just about jumped out of my chair I was so excited.

And the best part is now I get to rub it in all the boys faces. Hehehe.
