cheers

seating does make such a difference. for my horrid exam on monday ( that went unexpectedly well) I got the seat right at the back corner by the window, my very favourite spot!

wish I could ask for that seat every time!! maybe I should ask if it's poss for finals now THAT will be a freaky do time.

glad yours are all done. enjoy your summer x

I have been lucky - because i have a problem with anxiety i don't do crowds and am not good if i am not allowed to leave a room ...I get panic attacks... i need my escape route.....
8-[ 8-[ 8-[

so I am allowed a room on my own and allowed 5 minute breaks during the exam. to try and relieve the problem.

I always seem the get the seat right in front of the invigilator ( they're quite small rooms, almost classrooms ), and the lady seems to jump a bit and pick up my paper as soon as I start putting my stationery away. I wonder how many people have lost their exam paper because they rest before re-reading the paper and she's picked it up?

Plus, I've had 3 exams so far, and I've not turned up on time to a single one of them - something to do with housemates thinking that it can't possibly take more than 25mins to get to campus and insisting that I still have time... Plus the first exam I didn't see my name on the list, panicked and asked for help eventually, where oh yes - they found my name instantly - its just that my exam letter has "room 126-127" on it and so far I've only been in room 125.

I was nearly always by the window, and thinking about it, these were the exams I did the best in.
I find any little noise so frustrating, whilst doing an exam.
