Results Time

Give me a second. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Friends I cleared my exam. After all the stress I took this is some result that left me with great lessons of life.
I not only should start preparing for other exams but also will be educating myself on managing stress.

First time Prometric exam experience

Let me share my first time experience

I scheduled my exam at 14.00 hrs and I was there at the prometric center half an hour before . I was kind of tense and as I approached inside , for few seconds I wasn't listening to what the lady was asking me. Then suddenly I smiled at her and then she asked me whether I was interested in taking the exam a few minutes before ? if its okay. I said its fine. Then she said all of my things will go straight to locker and my water bottle in the fridge not inside the exam center. Then I kept my things all in locker and I locked them and kept the key with me.

I was taken inside a room where my finger prints and photographs are taken and was asked to turn out my pockets . I was sneezing so I asked them a tissue and the lady suggested me that I can only take one. I dont understand that part?

The cubes are all individually monitored with cameras and all our video and audio is recorded. we are not supposed to talk to any other and they provide with voice reducing headphones, well they were not that effective but have your own opinion. I felt like I am fine with out them.

They provide with a booklet and pencils . And the minutes melt to seconds.

The important lesson I learned with this exam is to do a lot , I mean A LOTTTTTTTTT OF practice in exam conditions is required. I was tense and almost took an hour for the first testlet and I was freakingly verifying the answers again and again and now it looks stupid on myside but staying absoultly cool is very much required in this exam.

I was rushing in the rest of the time and I find very less time for my last testlet believe me , I had only half an hour for that and I was doing every single MCQ in one minute. I don't know what the result is going to be but I really hate the amount of stress I was in.

I had a bad backache and I was in a state of trance for couple of days not able to understand what was the performance and what is going to happen? I can say this is the worst thing I ever was in. I worked out each single thing but I was tense about the exam.

It feels stupid to me now why was I behaving like a child when I was well prepared for the exam! It can create harmful effects for the performance. I learned my lesson and probably never going to face any other exam with such a mindset. Its stupid, its silly and its childish and it is potentially harmful for the performance. Don;t ever face any exam with such a mindset.

After I completed my exam I came out and they took my finger prints and released me with a proof of attendence and I handover them their booklet, pencils and even the tissue should be disposed in their garbage, yes!

Well the moral is, Write more exams in exam conditions to get eased on having a critical mindset. I shared true account of my experience so that you won't experience this kind of thing at all. okay
Good Luck and be cool and practice a lot in exam conditions. Be tough.
