D-Day minus One

So I am one day from my exam now and everything should be snagged surely and safely in my brain. I am not entirely sure that it is. I have been dong well in my practice exams and am confident in a fair bit of the course but there are some bits that don't seem to want to sink in.

The pass rate is around 70% and I hope I have done enough to pass tomorrow because I don’t want to have to retake the exam.

Today however I have been alternating between taking exams and tagging my music with musicbrainz. Simply put it goes through your music files and tags them correctly. Excellent for me who has a lot of music that has been copied off of cds early on before all the tags were added correctly

Exam worries

Am I too focused on practice exams? I worry that I won’t be able to answer the questions in the real exam (Thursday 19th Feb)

I have done quite well in the practice exams. I was given one by my tutor which had 180 odd questions in it and used Visual Cert Manager to change the PDF file to a practice exam because I found that when I scrolled donw the page on the pdf file i could often see the answer which made it a bit pointless really.

I have run through this exam many times generally in blocks of 40 randomly generated by Visual Cert Manager and keep passing so thats a good thing but am I just memeroising answers? (pssibly for some) will the real exam be anything liek the practices? I have no idea and perhaps thats the problem I haven’t done anexam for so many years, I am 37 now and the last exam was when I was 19 which i failed miserably at uni and then left uni never to return

Arrrggghh I hate it i hate this feeling of uncertainty and I have absolutely no co


nfidence in myself which isnt a great place to be going into an exam
