    Default exam stress :(

    argh... this afternoon i have to sit my university entry test. and i'm completely fucking freaking out about it. my anxiety is going crazy but i can't take my ativan because it makes me too sleepy and spaced out.

    why did i only apply for one course?! why didn't i put the one i want as my first preference, and something really easy to get into as a second choice so i could do that and transfer next year?!

    i KNOW i'm smart enough to pass. but it's been so long since i've been in an exam environment, and i guess i'm just stressing because this test pretty much decides the rest of my life.

    blllaaarrrghgh so stressed. once this test is over i want to go out and get wasted and get tattooed.

    lol @ getting wasted and tattooed afterwards. I get really bad test anxiety too, to the point where I am obsessing over unrelated stuff days before the exam.

    I'm sure you'll do well. You seem like an intelligent woman. I had to do something like that last year. I was visibly nervous beforehand & they were like if you don't score high enough for this & you still do a different program. I ended up scoring very high. I didn't end up going there, but that's not why.

    this is totally how I was when I took my LSAT. you just have to go in realizing the following
    1) everybody else there is practically shitting their pants with nerves, too.
    2) have a back-up plan if you fuck up (takes the edge off knowing what you're gonna do if the worst case scenario happens)

    Oh and don't eat or drink ANYTHING before your exam. Just starve. Trust me on this. It also helped me to do some practice exams the night before. Just to east my mind.

    Hope that helps! Break a leg!

    Just remember, examiners are not trying to fail you, they're just trying to see if you've absorbed the knowledge from the course. They have a set marking scheme, and every time you put down a specific piece of understanding, they'll give you a mark.

    All, you've got to do is make sure you understand the question, then start putting down information they can give you marks for.

    If you've done the work, you'll pass your exam. (We'll take it as a given you're smart enough).

    Good luck...
