The Exam Day: Facing the Challenge

The day of the exam was a blend of anxiety and determination. Here’s how it unfolded:

Morning Routine:

I began the day with a light breakfast and some relaxation exercises to calm my nerves. Revisiting keynotes and formulas helped boost my confidence.

At the Exam Center:

Upon reaching the exam centre, I made sure to arrive early to avoid any last-minute rush. The atmosphere was tense, but exchanging encouraging words with fellow students helped alleviate some of the anxiety.

During the Exam:

• Initial Impressions: The first few minutes were spent quickly scanning through the question paper. This helped me strategize my approach and decide which questions to tackle first.
• Time Management: Managing time effectively was crucial. I allocated specific time slots to each section and kept track of the time to ensure I could attempt all questions.
• Challenges and Overcoming Them: Some questions were particularly challenging. Instead of getting stuck, I moved on to the next question and returned to the difficult ones later. This approach ensured that I didn’t waste valuable time and maintained my momentum.
