exam in less than an hour and panicking
 

I've got my French oral in less than an hour. I'm panicking. I feel sick and dizzy. My head feels weird. I can't stop shaking. I'm so scared. I have to pass. I have to do well. I don't know how to calm down.

I know it's hard but try not to think about it, do something else to distract yourself. Take long slow deep breaths to try and calm down. I'm sure once you get into the exam you will be fine and do well.

Good Luck with it and let us know how it goes, sorry I can be of more help.

I know how you feel, I got really nervous before my German oral exam and even though it was quite a few years ago now I can still remember how scared I was, but in the end it turned out fine and I'm sure it will for you too :-)

Good luck!

Thank you both of you. I'm trying to keep calm but I'm not succeeding very well. At least I haven't had a panic attack yet though I suppose! 1/2 hour to go now :S

It's ok, just think in 30 minutes time it will all be over :)

I suppose. Just panicked more though because I'd been looking at the computer clock and that one is wrong. It's actually 15 mins - argh! *takes deep breaths* Thanks for the encouragement. I just need someone to keep talking to me to keep me calm right now.

yeah i remember feeling nervous before my german oral but you can only do you your best. Relax take deep breaths etc and you'll be fine

Good Luck

How did it go?

Hope it went ok :) xx

Thanks for all the support yesterday. I'm not really sure how it went - not too bad I hope. But I'm happy because I never have to do one again! :)
