Terrible language exam
I had a spoken language exam recently (done through an online platform) and it went terribly. I genuinely started crying afterwards because of how bad it was. I tried to move on but it was so bad that I’m terrified I’m going to be hit with academic misconduct just because of my body language in that exam. I was shaking and I couldn’t look at the camera or the screen for more than a second, kept staring down at my desk and overall just performed terribly.
The questions asked were also unexpected and it took me such a long time to process and then respond and my responses were all terrible too. At one point my bottles fell and I was startled and lost all composure. My examiner definitely noticed because they told me to stop typing and look at the camera (which made things even worse because I started panicking that they thought I was cheating).
All my friends think that I’m going to get disqualified or expelled from my course because of my very ‘shady’ behaviour during the exam. I don’t even really care if I failed the exam I just don’t want to be accused of cheating or misconduct and that comment is making me really spiral.
I’m sorry for the vent but does anyone have advice on what to do now? I know lots of the things making me worry are silly in the grand scheme of things but my ocd makes it so hard to relax once an idea has wriggled into my brain.
