Exam in 2 days — should I move it?
To be honest, during the Free 120 I felt like there were many things I “didn’t know,” which surprised me because I DID know a lot of those concepts literally last week. I honestly think this was very emotional/mental. I’ve also been under a lot of stress recently, and during the test I couldn’t fully focus because I kept thinking about something major happening in my personal life.
I also felt rushed during the blocks and had to speed through the last 5 questions of several sections, so timing definitely affected me too.
What’s confusing me is that before this, even with self-doubt and anxiety, I still felt like I was probably at a passing level. I’ve trained for a whole year and I honestly feel exhausted and burned out. I really do not want to keep studying anymore.
But now I’m scared this emotional situation affected my performance more than I realized, especially because it also affected part of my dedicated period.
Would you move it for 2 more weeks with these scores, or would you sit for it?
