I've already graduated college and been working full time for two years. I'm studying for a four part license exam that is really difficult to pass. Each part has passage rates of 40-45%. I'm currently scheduled to take two parts the first week of January. I've been studying after work and on weekends for 30 hours a week for about a month straight now on top of the usual 40 hours of work.

My parents expectations of me are that I pass every part on the first try. That I don't let any distractions stray me away from studying. And that I don't waste time.

I am 24, which is probably past the age of independence.. my parents are Asian.
