You have four-and-a-half hours to complete the test. The scores for each multiple-choice section are added together to calculate your composite score. As such, you should make sure to answer every question. If you get stuck on one question, move onto the next one and return to the difficult question later. If you've done lots of practice tests, you should have an idea of how much time you need to spend on each question. Don't leave any answers blank. If you plan to come back to a question later, make a note of it so you don't forget to at least guess on the question when you're almost out of time. If you don't know the answer to a PCAT question, you can still get to the right answer by eliminating the wrong ones. . Start by trying to eliminate the two most obviously wrong answers. This will leave you with two potentially correct answers. Next, re-read the question and see if one of the two possible answers jumps out at you. If not, take a guess. If you successfully eliminated two wrong answers, you've at least increased your chances of getting the right answer from one-in-four to one-in-two. Most students will finish the test in less than four-and-a-half-hours. If you need to use the bathroom, do soand if you simply need to get up to stretch your legs, take a bathroom break. Forcing yourself to stay in your seat for the full test-time will only make you feel stressed and uncomfortable.

Summary: Pace yourself. Eliminate wrong answers. Take breaks.

Before you finalize your letter, check to make sure there are no typos, spelling, or grammatical errors that make your letter look unprofessional or make it difficult to read. Check the address in particular and make sure it's correct. You don't want to send your recipients a change of address letter that points them to the wrong address. When you use mail merge for bulk mailings, it can save you a lot of time. But it's also possible that there may be errors in how the data is transferred to your letters. Check all the fields and make sure they all match and belong to the same recipient. For example, you want to make sure that the name and address of the recipient in the address box matches the name in the greeting. Once you're satisfied that your letters are formatted correctly and are error free, print them on good stock paper and sign them by hand using blue or black ink. Then they're ready to mail. In most cases, you want to make sure your recipients will get their letters within two to four weeks prior to the date your change of address takes effect. If you have international contacts, you probably want to provide two or three months' advance notice to allow for the time it takes to send mail internationally.

Summary: Proofread your letter carefully. Make sure the recipients' information is correct. Print and sign your letters. Provide your recipients with advance notice.

Read the packaging of the infrared sensor to learn what the distance-to-spot ratio is. This will be a number like 12:1. The first number will tell you how far away to hold the thermometer (in inches or cm) and the second will tell you how big of an area the thermometer will measure at that distance. For example, if you have a 12:1 inch ratio, the thermometer will measure 1 inch (2.5cm) when held 12 inches (30cm) away. The farther you hold it, the larger the area will be. If you hold it 24 inches (61cm) away, it will measure 2 inches (5.1cm). Cheaper thermometers will have a smaller ratio. They will need to be held closer to the object. More expensive tools will have a larger ratio. You can stand farther away. Most infrared thermometers have a laser pointer to help you target the object. If it doesn't, look for the sensor on the long end of the barrel, on the opposite end of the digital screen. This should face the object you want to measure. This is usually on the handle of the thermometer, located under the barrel. After a second, the thermometer should beep. Read the temperature off of the digital screen. The reflective light can make the reading less accurate. If you have an object that is too shiny, put some non-reflective tape on a small area and measure that. If you have reflective objects that are measured frequently, buy an infrared thermometer that can scan "high emissivity" objects. Emissivity is the reflectiveness of the object. These thermometers are typically more expensive, but they may be easier to use on babies and young children. Stick the end of the thermometer into one ear and wait for the thermometer to beep. You can read the temperature off of the screen. Infrared ear thermometers are useful if you have a young child, as they are quick and comfortable. That said, they are not as accurate as other forms of temperature reading.

Summary: Use the distance-to-spot ratio to determine where to hold the thermometer. Point the laser or sensor towards the object. Press the button on the thermometer. Avoid measuring shiny or reflective objects. Use a special infrared thermometer for ears.

In a perfect world, your husband would agree to immediately stop looking at porn. However, the situation is likely more nuanced than that. As you go through the process of resolving the situation, check in with you how are doing. Ask yourself how you are feeling about the progress you've made. Are you feeling good about the possibility of a compromise? How could you make the situation better? Do you want to have another conversation with your husband? Take steps to make yourself feel in control. Remind yourself that you are actively working on finding a solution. Finding a solution could be a lengthy process. You might find yourself feeling more emotional than usual. Remind yourself that that is normal. Allow yourself to feel a range of emotions. You might go from feeling hopeful to frustrated in the span of one day. That's okay. Don't judge your feelings. Simply acknowledge them and move on. Consider keeping a journal. Writing down how you feel can be very cathartic. It can also help you track patterns in your emotions. When one partner wants to watch porn and the other doesn't, that can be a very tricky situation. Consider talking to an expert. Marriage counseling can be very useful in helping couples work through sensitive issues. Find the right counselor. Ask your general physician to make a recommendation. Read online reviews. Look for a licensed therapist who specializes in relationship issues. Ask for a consultation. You want to make sure that you like the therapists approach and demeanor. Trying to get your husband to stop looking at porn can be a frustrating situation. Remember that you don't have to go through this alone. You could seek individual counseling. You can also seek out alternate sources of support. Perhaps you have a spiritual adviser like a priest or minister who could offer you some guidance. Lean on friends and family. It's fine if you don't want to give any details about your marital problems. But you can still say, "I'm going through a rough time, and I could use some extra care and attention."
Summary: Take a self-assessment. Acknowledge your feelings. Consider therapy. Get some advice.
