Yikes!
I completed the first half of my brown stripe test last week, thursday is going to be the second half, and I'm really nervous!
I think that it will consist of free sparing, kata, and philosophy.
The philosophy is realy hard, 27 sets of different concepts that I have to have memorized.
For example:
5 firsts for friendship
communicate
smile
care
share
forgive
5 sources of power
mind
body
spirit
soul
ki
I guess they start adding up 
Well wish me luck!

Good luck! I'm sure you will be fine.
Are all your testings done in two parts or is it just this one?

Sorry to hear that. Get well soon!
Will you have another opportunity to do your test soon or will you have to wait a while?

Too bad about the flu! I just am getting over something of the kind. Regarding the philosophy... I guess this is a little late... but what I did was make a tape recording of all of that with some nice music in the background, and I just listen to it over, and over, and over, and over. You can do it in the car, at work, at home, wherever.
It *is* a lot. I'm not waiting until green belt to get it in my noggin!
I am testing for 2d green stipe on Monday... My kid is testing for 1st purple on Tuesday... then I leave for Training Camp that night. Woo hoo!
