I Just got Two Day to My Exam Day- How do I feel?
Good evening friends, how are you guys doing today? Tonight I would like to talk about how my exam is going and also my studies as well.
To start with, my exam is almost here. There are just two more days remaining and everything I have been preparing for will finally be put to test. Since I have limited time I have found myself caught in a cycle of intense study, exhaustion and uncertainty. Today has been one of the longest days yet. I have been studying since morning and have never lifted my head from my notes. I didn't go out, I didn't chat with friends and I didn't take my usual breaks. I kept pushing myself thinking that if I could just hold on a little longer I might be able to cover everything I need to know before Wednesday.
The pressure is immense. I can feel it in my chest and in my thoughts in the way my mind jumps from one topic to another without fully processing anything. I feel like my brain is overworked and my body wants to sit in one position for a long time and yet I cannot bring myself to stop.
Do you know that I am no longer following a structured study plan I laid out for myself. So I am flipping through notes randomly revisiting topics I have already studied and hoping that somehow everything will stick. I know this is not the most effective way to prepare but the anxiety of having so little time left makes it difficult for me to think logically. I am just unsure if I should focus on past questions or reverse weak areas or just practice writing out answers. I really don't know where to begin.
Even as I think about all these things I can't help but I know I need much effort in this preparation. But I know very well that I have spent hours reading summarizing notes and revising over the past weeks and months, so I am not starting from scratch anyway. I believe somehow that everything I have studied is still in my mind but I just need to trust myself to recall it when the time comes.
But the worst part of it is that I still have doubts. I don't know if I have done enough. I assume that I have not focused on the right topics. Sometimes I ask myself what if I blank out during the exam? When I think about these things it makes it harder for me to focus but I know I cannot afford to let them take over.
One thing that gives me going is that this experience in preparation of my exam is not just about cramming as much information as possible but about balance, understanding my limits, knowing when to take a break and trusting in my hard work. What I need is to find the confidence to say I have prepared and I will do my best.
To crown it all I am exhausted but I am determined. I will keep pushing forward however but I will also remind myself to breathe, take the break I need, to rest when needed and to walk into the exam Hall with confidence. No matter what happens next I know I have given my all and I believe God will crown my efforts.
Thank you once again for reading my post. I really appreciate your time here.
