13 years of post-secondary education
$3000 to write the final exam
6 hours of written examination
4 hours of oral examination
20% failure rate on the exam
3 hours of total studying because of an
8 month old son who's crawling everywhere

I passed. I'm sitting here in Edmonton, about to go to job interviews that I now know that I can attend because they let me pass this exam, possibly the last exam ever. Which is good, because we'd already committed to moving to Edmonton, giving notice on our apartment in Toronto, booking movers, and signing a one year lease on a house in Edmonton. I felt really lousy after the exam, so it was a long 24 hours waiting for the results, but man, what a relief!
