I have another of my mock exams tomorrow. This one is a practical exam which I am more nervous about than a written exam because there will be an examiner as well as the patient whom I am performing the examination on. I am terrified. Due to my lack of confidence in how my first two exams went I did so much revision since then for this one. Hoping to pass at least one of these mock exams. So hopefully I am more prepared for this one. This exam has a simple pass/fail grading which makes it more scary.
I get nervous before an exam anyway but I have never done a practical exam before with an examiner watching my every move. I hope under pressure my mind doesn't go blank... that's my biggest fear! Usually when I do a written exam, I open the paper, have a little silent panic phase, calm down then get on with it. I can't do this in a practical exam. I just have to get on with it. On top of that, the exam is over three hours long which is just ridiculous really? But hopefully after the first few tasks I will have settled into a rhythm and become more comfortable and not be so scared. I will let you know how it goes.
