I fear the worst tomorrow

I am having an exam in one of my major subjects tomorrow and I fear that I might not be able to do good at it. I have just studied some topics a while ago but I am not fully prepared for it. I know I need to practice solving more and that is what I intend to do in a while. I really need to pass this exam not only for the sake of the grade but I feel that this will help me get back my self-confidence as a student. I need that most of all because I feel so alone in school. I can feel the pressure already, as failing this exam could really shatter me. So, friends, do pray for me and wish me the best. I would definitely appreciate that. So, anybody in some kind of pressure for tomorrow or the week to come? How do you plan to go through it? I pray for and wish us all the best!

Just try your best and do have this in mind: that failing an exam is not the end of life and when you fall you can always always get up again. That's one beauty about failure. I'm having an exam this November so I'm going to work hard, wish me all the best that I can have. All the best to you!

Thank you very much for your inspiring message. Failing is actually not an option I consider,but I still am scared. I guess one reason would also be because I haven't gotten any exams for a long time now. Anyway, what sort of exam are you going to take this November? Good luck to you on your exam then!

I think I did okay, but I could have done more. Oh well, it's better luck next time for me.

Good luck to your exam. One thing I can tell you. Even you failed the exam, still, try to boost your self-confidence because this will help you a lot not only in your school but in your future career too. I wish you all the best. One more reminder, I read this quote and I hope you will find something from here: "Failure does not mean that you are failure person. It only means that you haven't succeeded yet." Good day!

You should be feared that you might not do well in your examination tomorrow, since you are not fully prepared for it even armed with this fact several week ago. It will be better off for you to begin study and continue to study thoroughly until the arrival of dawn rather than praying for divine intervention right now, so that you can pass it with good grade rather than fail it.

Well, you are right. I did know that I should have started self-reviewing earlier, but I do not intend to fail or leave things in God's mercy. I was not prepared but I believe I am prepared now after hours of reviewing and solving problems. Now, I am confident that I can pass it, but I still pray to God that I will not have a hard time or experience panic.

Now get your spirits up choy, just sort things out, make an outline of the exam if you can... and then study it with full concentration. When i am tasked to do a lot of presentations usually that is what i do. i try to find the balance and get to do it.

I do outlines when there s memorization to be done, but this subject requires more on problem-solving and the only memorization I really need would be some formulas. Not really a problem there, the problem would be how to execute the formula's to fit in specific problems. So anyway, I took the exam and I think it went a little okay. I did my best but I know it wasn't good enough, so I guess I just have do extra effort next time. Thanks for the suggestion and the support. Good luck on your endeavors!

You can do it, just review and review instead of mylotting to achieve it. Believe in yourself, don't always expect for prayers to make you pass on your exam, remember you're the one making your own future. Just set aside you're feeling that you need to impress others by having a high grade, if you want your self confidence back prove that you can pass the exam is enough to do it.

I am not actually doing this to impress anyone at all. That is way off my mind. I am doing this because I need to. Anyway, after hours of reviews and problem-solving, I now believe that I can do it. Just a few hours of sleep and a good meal to go then I'm set.

I get nervous when I have big tests coming up too. I usually do better when I can take a couple of breaths and relax. Just remember that you are going to do great. You have studied and you are going to study some more; you will be prepared. I have a big week coming up. I have been off for a couple of weeks and I know there will be a ton of things at work for me to address when I get back. Good luck on that test and don't forget those breaths.

I am actually taking a breather from studying right now. I have decided to post responses here for a while and then go back to studying. Well, good luck to you too on your work and thank you very much!

I know it is always easier said than done. But, just pray and have confidence. You know that if you study hard that is enough to give you confidence that you can make it.

I have been studying for several hours now, occasionally taking breaks and visiting this page. There are still some problems I cannot solve but, you are right, as soon as I have solved some of the review problems I have began confidence in myself. I am now about to solve a few more before I call it a day and have my rest. Thank you very much for the advice and motivation.

Dont feel fear remind some points which you read and remember the God. I never feel bad or fear when my exams was. Because I write my own notes after read the books.

There's still time for you, so don't give up, I know it's hard but try not to be so negative about it. If you want to prove something, prove to yourself that you can do it. As long as you believe in yourself that you can do it, then you will certainly be able to pass your exam. Try to calm your mind, relief some of those stress that you have and GO FOR GOLD. Have faith in yourself. and keep in mind YOU CAN DO IT

I have no plans of giving up yet. In fact I have studied for hours now. I am currently in my break so I decide to spend it here in mylot. In a few minutes I'll be back to reviewing again. I know that determination helps a lot and I do want to go for gold, so thank you very much for the motivation and contribution.

Thank you very much for your prayer and for your advice and I will surely heed them. I am currently taking a break from studying, so I decided to visit this site and post for a while. After a few posts, I will surely be going back to reviewing and studying.

That is actually what I also did. At first I just looked at all the things I needed to review and study and I panicked, but then I calmed down and took it one at a time, which worked effectively. Now, I'm again on my occasional break, which I spend by posting responses here. In a few minutes I will be back to my reviewing and solve a little more problems and then go to sleep. I just hope I won't get mental block tomorrow though. By the way, thanks for the tips and you are definitely right about the breakfast part. I remember my mom would usually serve us delicious breakfast during exam days. Now I wish my mom was here to do it again for me.

Hi friend don't worry, God will Help you. God can do anything in this world. Only thing you have to do is prayer. But study your subject as much possible. Revise previous year question papers. All the Best.
