June 2017 FSOT takers: how do y'all feel? (Remember your NDA)
This was my second time taking it (171/7 last year), and I am significantly less confident this time around. I ran out of time on the essay and couldn't pop a conclusion out, so now I want to cry a little, and I've more or less convinced myself I'm getting a 5 if I'm lucky. Even the MC seemed harder this year.
I'm not a fan of the new essay format, but I can see why the difference is negligible for others. Using the 7 minutes to make an outline is clutch but doesn't address my personal writing flaws. I lean on the side of verbosity, so the hard part isn't thinking about what to say, but how to phrase it. The extra time would have been much more useful to me on the typing screen, especially if I wanted to edit for conciseness.
Overall I'm just kind of ..... meh, and I'm curious to know, even generically, how you guys are feeling. (West coast should be wrapping up soon)
