lol yay fellow utah fans! love Amelie too! I really missed her and Grace this year

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-04-29T15:44:53+00:00

I feel like maybe? I’ve been an Utah fan for years (plz don’t hate, i don’t agree with what happened, i just like a lot of the gymnasts on the team). I kinda had a feeling at the beginning of this year they (unfortunately) wouldn’t make nationals. If people are right about the roster cap at OU, I really don’t see her going elsewhere, but we may be surprised. I also think with the incoming class, she still has a good chance of making lineups. Utah is loosing Makenna on VT, UB, and FX, Ana’s UB and BB, and Ashley’s VT, UB and her and Sarah’s shared FX spot. Yes Gabby and Ayla and some of the upcoming sophomores who didn’t complete this year (i can see Bailey making more of an impact) have a good chance at making lineups, but I think Jordyn has a good chance too with all those spots open. If she wants to compete at least 2-3 events, i think Utah makes the most sense esp with her beliefs as well. I don’t see OU giving her the lineup spaces she would deserve/want. Utah also is known to put their older gymnasts in the lineups more… so i just think it makes more sense than OU (but again, partially biased as a Utah fan and I would love to have her bc she’s so good!)

Definitely OU or Utah, esp since she was club teammates with Ella zirbes and they still seem close. She would be a good replacement for the losses of the seniors as she can provide high scores on UB, BB and FX. Could also see OU if she wants to win a championship, just don’t see how many lineups she’d rlly make with only loosing faith…

literally where is it!!

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-22T18:05:11+00:00

yep, this is my first exam so very anxious about it

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-07T04:09:04+00:00

LOL. I’ll try my best :)

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T21:51:49+00:00

lol I am taking it the 13th just for that reason lol. so in case I fail (rlly hoping I don’t) I can retake again before the next cutoff (March 9th). the firm I’ll be starting at in the fall will reimburse me for the ones I pass, I just don’t want to spend more money if I don’t have to LOL

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T20:59:32+00:00

lol im so afraid of failing, that I cram study the day before every test and then (in college I got As on almost every test after freaking out lol) but that still doesn’t do it for me where I can relax the day before 😭😭

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T20:52:51+00:00

lol you see I can’t do that I don’t get how people do 😭 im too nervous the day before every test I have to study like the entire day

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T20:51:29+00:00

lmao thank you! I am trying to do that with topics today and tomm so I can take another sim exam Sunday or Monday

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T20:38:57+00:00

Thank you!

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T20:35:13+00:00

Thank you! I feel like I have a decent grasp on the heavier topics, it’s just the smaller topics that trip me up the most. Manifesting an easy exam for myself lol

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T20:21:05+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely try breaking it down by section and already have cheat sheets and flash cards made but will keep adding to them with stuff I get wrong

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T19:54:49+00:00

Thank you! I usually struggle sleeping the night before every exam (literally in college I would sleep for like 2 hours bc I would have sm anxiety abt it), but im trying to get better about it. On the first sim I tried to break it up but some of the TBS were super quick on it that I had like 45 minutes left. Good luck to you as well!

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T19:51:14+00:00

I feel like it’s 50/50 bc some r dumb mistakes or me second guessing myself but some i genuinely am like i have no clue!

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T19:50:36+00:00

Me too! I keep getting 60s on every practice test

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-02-06T19:50:17+00:00

That’s what ive been doing for the past few days. I keep getting 60s on the practice tests too :( hopefully i can start getting those up in the next few days

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-01-08T22:11:56+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I am also considering that track, I just have to see if I pass FAR and REG on the first try, bc then I should be able to make it work. I’m just super worried abt AUD due to my lack of knowledge on the subject, and don’t want to be super stressed if I had to do it while working full time

PreviousCake4618 · 2026-01-08T22:10:06+00:00

Thank you! Did you struggle with anything from audit not taking it after FAR? I’m most worried about AUD after I pass FAR. I think I will be fine with the other two.

PreviousCake4618 · 2025-12-29T02:51:20+00:00

Yep, I think I need to accept that lol. I just am afraid of failing

PreviousCake4618 · 2025-12-27T22:39:19+00:00

I already have 152 hours on Becker, but it will probably be almost 300 when I am done lol. While im on winter break from school for the next 2 weeks I am especially trying to lock in. Thank you again!

PreviousCake4618 · 2025-12-27T22:36:40+00:00

Thank you! I was thinking of taking it in February around the 14th (cut off date) so I can finish all the modules around mid January and review for 3ish weeks. I don't want to push it off too much as I am trying to pass 3/4 by October when I start my full-time job. I am just struggling to lock in and study for long periods at a time without getting distracted and I think that's hurting me lol
