I have to sit a GAT tomorrow which is sorta like an exam, except I have to sit it at a school I have never been to before as I am studying by corresspondence

[pixiedust]

Aw good luck kat. I'm sure you'll be fine. Must be scary though if you've never done it before. *hugs*

Hope you feel better soon too mim *cuddles*

[tamobhuuta]

good luck with that, must be scary. what kind of exam is it, like, academic or something?

[crazykat]

Umm it stands for General Achievement Test and it covers a variety of subjects just as Maths, English, Science, Humanities, Art etc and is used to help scale your ENTER score

[pixiedust]

ENTER score?

I must be really dumb :S

Good luck with it though. I'm sure you'll do well :)

[tamobhuuta]

gosh sounds pretty major, but you'll do great

[crazykat]

Well its basically a score you get from each subject that you are doing then it is added together. So basically you need certain scores to get into certain university courses....well yeh thats sorta the gist of it, I have probaly confused you more tho not good at explaining stuff...lol

I am not too worried about the exam tho as it doesn't really contribute to your score its just a means of them being able to to see what level or something you are at and then maybe readjusting your score if needed. Plus I can't really study for it either as it will be on lots of random stuff...nobody studys for it anyways apparently.

I am just worried about bein around people, as I have major social anxiety issues. So I know being around people tomorrow is gonna be hard

[crazykat]

Eeeek sorry didn't mean for that to be an essay...lol *hugs you both*

[pixiedust]

No that makes sense now :)

Could you ask to be in a separate classroom? *hugs*

[tamobhuuta]

what pixie said. college offered to let me sit my exams seperately, quite a few people with learning/other difficulties could.

[crazykat]

I am getting special consideration to sit in a seperate classroom, still have to sit in there with a supervisor tho and have to go to their main office when i get there. Even being around one person I don't know stresses me out...I know stupid right? and its for 3 hours eeeek!! *Hugs you both*

[pixiedust]

*cuddles* good luck sweetie. It's good it's only one person although I know it'll still be hard. Try to forget they're there if you can. And 3 hours!! Poor you!

[tamobhuuta]

i'm sure they'll do their best to be unobtrusive so you can cope ok. 3 hours seems unhumanly long a time to concentrate for, good luck (you're a superman lol)!

[pixiedust]

agrees with mim. 3 hours is just horrible. I'm dreading monday. i have 3 french exams back to back (2 3/4 hour) and then a 2 hour psychology exam in the afternoon. There is no way I can concentrate for that long. Thank goodness I've got extra time so I can drift off for a while!

[crazykat]

Yeah I know three hours eeek, at least after this I don't have exams until november..yay!!

[pixiedust]

Try to focus on that - the fact that you'll be exam free for a while!

[crazykat]

Yep and trying to keep myself busy now..so I don't think so much about it. Thank-you both for helping reassure me it has helped heaps *Hugs*

[pixiedust]

No problem, any time :)

[crazykat]

*Huggles*

[crazykat]

I am gonna go watch a dvd before i go to sleep to try relax me a bit *leaves hugs for you both*
