Yes, today was the day ... the first of three final exams for A-levels ... god, I have never been so afraid of something in my whole life!Okay, I am kind of a coward, since I apt to panic even before tests in minor subject ... but I guess if a test means so much for your future and stuff it would be unnatural if you were now worrying ... only that my concerns were not from this world ... I couldn't sleep the whole night long, my heart was beating so fast I thought I would just faint ... now I slightly know what a nervous breakdown could look like ... anyway in school, when we were give the text and the question sheets it wasn't that bad anymore ... suddenly I just realised that if I hade made it three years, I would be able to stand this last challenge also!And I did it the text was okay, the quetions also and despite the fact that I wrote three whole pages commenting on whether I am optimistic regarding immigration, before I realised that the question had nothing to do with immigration but whether I am optimistic about the21th century (I nearly DIED when I realised that) but fortunately I had one hour left so I just wrote another comment ... and now I am home, on Monday is the nex exam and I am wondering if it's normal to be SO panic-stricken? I mean, it's a test, even if I fail the world is not going to end ... and plus, I can't stand that pressure anymore ... god, still thinking about what I wrote and whether that makes sense ... just want to forget everything about it ... but cannot

It's perfectly normal to be panic-stricken before an exam. I know I am, every time! I wish you good luck on your exam next Monday. Am I correct that you're from Germany?
If so then I will be thinking of you Monday, since I have my German exam then.

Wow, at least you managed to recover!!!!
What are your English texts?
The good thing about Jan exams is we can always repeat them in the summer if we mess-up Can you?

nope, you need a certain degree of points (I think 6 in each of the three tests), you can also take an oral exam to get additional points, but if you screw up and fail (with zero points in one subject immediately) you don't get your A-levels; it's the same when you're sick and can't even take the test, you have to wait a whole year to repeat them
the text in English was a short story by Roddy Doyle, about Irish history (easter rising etc.) but thank god, otherwise it would have been a magazine article about Bush

It's understandable to be afraid of exams like those. They're very stressful, but at least you got through them.
