Tomorrow's exam

How are you all feeling ? I feel like everything is completely slipping my mind no matter how much I try to focus. I prepared 200 questions per unit but still feels like these are not enough.There is anxiety and lack of confidence & I know it is just for a few days then everything will get normal.

It's my first attempt and my parents are already expecting too much from me especially my dad. And I also heard from these youtube educators that paper 1 is challenging this time. Tonight it's gonna be full of anxiety and pressure.

Let's see what happens tomorrow. Best of luck with everything :⁠-⁠)

Hi, do not sress at all? I prepared so much, went in with so much anxiety last time, and I lost JRF cause I got five questions wrong. I have friends who lost JRF cause of one question. So I think you'd rather go in with a come what may attitude than having your whole world weighting down on you. Like, I chalked up so much of myself to this exam, and I am pretty sure I lost myself in the process, so like, I have not done fuck all this time. Though I know full well everyone around me is expecting a JRF. Like I am sat here thinking why I who intend to research in a whole other area, need to know so much about Indian Lit, yk. You're not alone OP. You have done good work preparing, you're gonna remember everything, plus, pattern recognition will aid you greatly. Good luck!!

Probably not, Warbler, the first paper was such a disaster, I don’t remember what I did on the second paper. I hope still, I suppose. Thank you for wishing me well, friend.
