It seems so much you have to do in such a short space of time. I think I will need a whole day to complete the MAC paper! And I bet there is still people who are finished the paper in an hour and half and leaving the exam room early. That always freaks me out as I usually need all the time I can get and then when I see people finished and leaving I panic even more.
Deep Breaths Deep Breaths! lol0 -

Jewels try not to panic about people leaving the exam room early, try to ignore what other people are doing for all you know they've left early because they're struggling with the paper. I used all the time allowed, I needed it!0 -
Pwease can you come with me Jill? I am scared.............even terrified!

Now you have just made me worse.........................where do I get Kalms? :laugh:0

Jewels, just stick to it. I know you will be fine! Just give it some time, keep practicing, even if you need a full day for the exam now, if you keep practicing those exams, I'm sure by the time the exam is there, you manage it in the 3 hours instead.Now you have just made me worse.........................where do I get Kalms? :laugh:
Also those people leaving early, doesn't mean they get great marks, might mean they did really bad and yes, some might find it very easy, but struggle with other stuff, that you would do in a blink.
Don't worry too much, don't go looking for Kalms yet, do that if you really feel stressed about the exam, just before the exam.
You still got a lot of time to practice and you said you only just started on past exam papers, which is not a great time to put yourself under time pressure yet! Wait with that, until you feel (more) confident about the exam itself and the type of questions you get.
MAC is, for what I've heard a very difficult exam and it's normal to feel stressed about it, but try and keep your head cool and just get on with things!0 -
Thanks you guys for calming me down. I suppose everyone feels the same about the exams they are doing.........I just choose to let you lot know about my stresses!
x0 -
Aww, we all know the feeling and have been through it or still going, so no worries!
Just trying to keep you calm, as the time you use to just feel stressed would be better used used studying!
But you know we all wub you and try to help you!0 -
I sat exams in June, what distracted me the most was a noise from calculators and people leaving early. I promise myself take earplugs next time so that i will not being distracted by others
. Really i couldn't focus on the task. 0 -
Hey I never thought of taking earplugs. I get really annoyed with people banging on Calculators too! :laugh:0
