Even though I have had (social) anxiety problems for many years, the tests themselves haven't bothered me.
This morning was the exception though. I did not feel like I knew the material well. I was out of town this weekend so I couldn't study till I got home Sunday night and my test for Psychology was at 8:30 am this morning. I stayed up till 2am this morning cramming and didn't get to bed till almost 3am. Then I overslept! My wife frantically wakes me up telling me it's 8:10, and it's a 30 minute drive to the testing center!
I jump out of bed throwing my clothes on and call the testing center and the nice lady there tells me that if I can be there in half an hour, she'll let me take the test. So now, I'm off the the races!
Long story short, I made it there and passed with a 61.
We create our own anxiety. I should have studied more than I did and I should have gotten plenty of sleep, woke up refreshed and had breakfast. I brought this panic on myself.
This should be a good example of WHAT NOT TO DO!
