    Hi All,

    So it’ s the night before the long awaited exam. I know some people are sitting this for their 2nd time or maybe even 3rd, 4th etc. i’m sitting it for the 3rd time.

    I can honestly say, this time round…i’ve put so much more work into it than I have the last 2 times. I usually avoid doing full exam questions cos I was too worried about not being able to do them right. This time round I did plenty of MCQ’s (and timed myself) and I have done full exam papers (and also timed for some of them to practice).

    I usually get very anxious the night before and the morning of though i try to stay on top of my nerves and tell myself i’ve done the work..the info is there….usually by the time I get into the exam hall the nerves have started to get to me.

    i’m hoping this time round I’ll have more confidence in getting through the paper and hope not knowing every single detail won’t effect my ability to finish the paper in time and be ok with what I’ve done.

    Just wondering what people tend to do the night before and morning of to stay on top of their nerves?
    Best of luck with exam tomorrow everyone….:-)

    Hi Erin, hope it went well. It was also my 3rd attempt but I did 5 full questions before and for me mcq is a bit easier to score marks as then there were no theory written questions (this is where It went downhill on my last attempts as I did not learn it!)
