Testophobia
Who knows what this means ......yup a fear of exams....
I have always been very nervous about exams since my schooldays ( and i know why) ...But I HATE them ....
My company put me through a course this week ...1 part was practical ..the other part was theory C&G qualification ....i received the training pack last week ...it should have been with me 3 weeks ago ..but the company E mail system spammed it and no one new it ..so I spent the last week trying to do something I did not have the technical background in , but i was willing to learn , but 1 week was not enough time ....I crammed from books but didnt understand them ...so when the course came i crammed and asked questions I took a mock exam and failed it but only by a few points..Today was the day ..felt good ..class revision went well asked about the failed questions saw my mistakes then done the practical exam part ..yup passed that easy dropped a couple of minors but nothing much ....then we took another Mock i went sweaty and shaky i struggled done 25 out of the 50 got brain lock so I stopped and checked my answers 68% the pass mark is 80% ....so had lunch relaxed read some more and went for the real exam ... I looked at the first page ..it meant nothing the words I didn't understand anything total brain lock ..I was shaking and sweating ..I just had to get out so I logged out and left the room ...the instructor couldn't let me start again as i had logged out of the test ..he knew and I knew that i knew everything i needed to know and understand , but it is a official exam and so I failed ... So frustrating ...
