I've been enrolled into M-TEC since March but haven't had the chance to introduce myself.  I'm a mother to a fiesty 1-year-old.  So, I sleep late and wake up early!  I'm trying to find a balance between keeping up with my baby and finding some time to study.  I love to read everyone's posts and I love all the study tips!  Keep 'em coming!  Happy studying everyone!  Btw, any Northern Californians out there?!?

I enrolled this March as well, and I live in Vacaville, CA. Where do you live in N. California?

I live in American Canyon.  We're not so far from each other!  How's your studying coming along?

American Canyon! Yes, we're practically neighbors. I live in Vacaville but work in Fairfield.

I'm very happy with MTEC so far.  I will begin the Session 5 practice dictations today. How are you doing? I am impressed with any moms out there who have little ones at home and can find the time to study!

I have to admit, it does take a lot to study & to keep up with my baby.  It is a big obstacle!  Although, I'm threading along.  Wow, Session 5, congrats to you!  Any tips that have helped you so far?  I was hoping to be, at least, in session 3, but I'm not quite there yet.  Happy studying!

Well Session 3 was a bear! You have probably read a few similar comments in the forum about that session but you will certainly learn a lot. Session 4 was so much easier and a lot of the rules started to click. I have finished Session 5 and am awaiting my test score...gulp Hopefully I did fairly well but you just never know! I started Session 6 and so far it is the most interesting, for me anyway. I enjoy learning about the gastrointestinal system Anyway, I study at least 2 hours every day on the weekdays after work, more so on the weekends. The practice dictations are so helpful, and I keep the session terminology words nearby for quick reference. I have found that if I want to take a day off, it's OK. I make up for it the next day or two. Good luck with your studies Joy! And enjoy this nice weather!
