Extremely stressed about exam

hypercolius

Today I have an exam and am extremely stressed. I went through a bereavement recently, I was bullied out of a society, and the university imposed a punitive restriction on my movements without my consent. 

For this exam, I:

1) Revised since 2nd May for 6-7 hours per day

2) Memorised all needed derivations in a single session 

3) Did one past paper (the revision above was caused by taking a look at the other)

4) Have had regular panic attacks which made me feel like I'm about to collapse

I don't know how to calm myself down. The exam's in one hour.

  • Probably too late now, but I was more relaxed if I knew all the stuff. There is nothing more you can do. If you have revised as much as you can there is nothing more to do, just get it out of the way.

    Rather than imagine the worst imagine the best, it will go well it will all be ok.

    Imagine also how good it will feel when it is over. You get your life back.

    You can also reduce pressure by thinking you can always resit it. The world will not end whatever happens. It might be inconvenient but perhaps it is the will of the gods, you are but a pawn.

    And above all, a line from Metallica kept me going, f*** it all ***ing no regrets. 

    Good luck. You can have a stiff drink afterwards, or reward of your choice.
