Having lots of anxiety due an exam

[vanessi]

Hello everyone, I hope you all are ok! Well, lets start. I've been having lots of anxiety these days cos on Wednesday I'm doing a French certification exam and I'm terrified, I need to pass the exam to apply for a working visa next year in France, so if I don't pass it I won't be able to apply early next year so I will have to change my plans all over again. I've been studying but sometimes it is hard to concentrate, I cannot sleep very well at nights thinking of it and I feel so scared, desperate and nervous. And I know myself cos the day of the exam I will be very nervous and I can block myself. There 4 parts of the exam

Speaking part (I don't know feel very confident)

Listening and reading ( more confident than the first one)

Writing part (more and less)

The thing is that exam can change my future the next couple of months and it means a lot for me

Do you guys have any advice to not feel so anxious

Also I wanted to share something. When I created this blog I did it due a breakup of my last relationship with my fiancé, that happened almost a year ago, after my birthday in august he called me one day and since then we have been keeping in touch almost every day. At the start everything was kinda weird, more formal like being strangers but things have been changing, we have told each other that we miss and still love.

He told me i am the love of his life and he will be either with me or alone, that he doesn't want anyone in his life if it is not me. I must say I feel so happy when I hear that, he told me We will see each other in 2019 (he is Irish and lives in Ireland) and I live in Mexico, I am Mexican btw. So basically my feelings haven't changed I love him more than when we broke up. He has become again in the man I fell in love with. I don't wanna get to excited cos we haven't talked about coming back together, but that is my hope, and I don't wanna get to excited either cos if he changes his mind again I don't want to feel bad again like last December but I can't help to feel happy when we talk

He is the love of my life but I am thinking first on me, so the plan of going to France would help me to be nearer of him but the plan of going it is not for him, it is for me cos I wanna improve my French and become translator in the future. What do you guys think of this too?

Thanks

I think you are doing very well! As to the test, prepare as best as you can. I suspect you will do well, as worriers often over prepare for things.

Hi Vanessi, I am excited for you to want to be a translator using the French language. I believe my dear friend, that you maybe too hard on yourself and doubting yourself when it comes to taking this exam. You are trying so hard to study and have such a deep desire to pass it with great intentions. I feel that maybe you need to BELIEVE in yourself and your own abilities to pass this exam. yes, I understand it is going to be challenging. However, the impression I receive when reading how you feel about each section of the exam, you are well on your way to passing it. Vanessi, it is all in how your mindset is. If you are confident and positive then that is what you will attract and find positive results. on the other hand, just the same ok, doubtfulness will set you up for questioning your answers which will take longer to answer your questions on the exam. No need for added pressures. Just believe in yourself and write your own story with a positive ending.

Now if I may touch on the subject of your "Ireland" ex-fiancé. You do not need to rush into anything. Its best to focus on your schooling/training and in due time, when it is right, it will fall into place all by itself. Keep the status of talking of course. But first and for most Vanessi, be honest to yourself and heart. Once again, believe in you, focus, and you will find yourself on the way to your dream of being a translator. Best of luck. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Like to hear from you when you take the test. I am rooting for you.
