I have an exam in two days, and I'm freaking out. It's an unversity entry exam, and its important. I had a similar exam last year and I failed and It took me a long time to overcome it. One of the reasons is because I know that this one is like a second chance. That being said, I'm pretty sure I'll be accepted. However it used to be personal, because I wanted to prove to myself and I wanted to get max score. Moreover I'll qualify for scholarship if I get max score, which will cover all university expenses and taxes. I said "used" because now I realized that my parents wouldn't be able to pay for my education, if I don't take the scholarship. This also leads to another problem, which I'll discuss in another thread. Basically I'm now panicked and I'm worried that it'll affect my performance in the exam. I'm even questioning my certainty of being accepted, which in turns makes me even more anxious. Today I even bought Ginko Biloba to boost my concentration. I don't know what to do...

just relax and breathe..you even said in your post you know you will be accepted......it is impossible to panic and relax at the same time so practice relaxation exercises and see you whole body turning limp. this will get you through the anxiety. take care and good luck.

Thanks! My confidence is to certain extend, though. Solving complex algorithms and anxiety do not coop well.
