I hope you are all well.
I have just received notification that I will be required to resit the first exam of the Diploma in Wills and Probate on line at home .
It has come as a shock but this will on one have prevent the anxiety of sitting the exam in Birmingham and also as I will be typing the answers, the replies will be legible .
I wonder what is the opinion of others with this ?

Hi Roukaya, This sounds like a good opportunity for you to give your best without the nervousness of attending in person. I'm sure there will still be some nerves, but less, I'd think. And as you say, if you are able to type your exam answers, so long as you are well prepared, you won't have to worry about legibility, only typos!
It must feel good to know that the end is in sight now, and you have only to focus on what matters and not be distracted by any other factors which could affect your performance in the exam. Wishing you all the best for a successful outcome this time🙏😊!
I hope you are well
Thank you for your reply
On one have sitting the exam on line at home will negate nerves and anxiety but on the other it us the mechanics and the lay out of the questions as the case scenarios are lengthy.
I will be ringing the exam provider for further explanation.
Also I have started to go swimming as a distraction as I seem to suffer from highs and lows .
Yes Roukaya, a good idea to find out about any aspect you aren't sure of ahead of time. That will also help allay your nerves. Sometimes it's possible to sit a trial exam online, but maybe in this instance there hasn't been any time to prepare practice material. But it might be worth asking! Best wishes and I hope you have a good day. 👍
I think without the stress and anxiety of rushing about to the exam venue, being in your own home, relaxed and composed in familiar surroundings will be good for you. I think when you go to an exam venue and meet up with all the other students, who are equally anxious, it makes you worse. You will be able to take it in your stride at home, where you feel comfortable. 😊🌺👍
Good morning
I hope you are well.
Thanks for reply
I expect it is a new on line system they are implementing which is compliant with the social distancing .
I am not tech savvy so I have called the exam provider questions concerning the layout of the exam paper and how to up load the reply
Thanks for reply
On one hand I will not need to travel to Birmingham and face the tiredness on the day .
But it is the layout of the exam paper questions and the typing in time .
I started to go for swimming as this helps alleviate the isolation .
I hope your day goes well
Your Poppy painting is very beautiful.
I like art and some people have a natural creative outlet .
Hi Roukaya, I agree with the others, far less stressful! Is your handwriting really so bad?!! Haha! Best f luck xx
I hope you are well
Yes my handwriting is really that bad
Awful
I hope you are well
I think I have anxiety issues and my handwriting is poor which may have cost me valuable marks
My concern is the exam lay out and how to read the questions and answer .
I hope you are well
You can do it Roukaya, think positive and do your best, long time since I sat an exam, but I remember the nerves. Good Luck.
Will probably help you. make sure your phone is off and you have enough to drink before you start, so you don't get disturbed during the test, as it takes time to resettle.
Good luck with it. I'm rooting for you to pass this time!
Cheers, Midori
Hi, I think this is a much better option than attending in person. You will be safe from possible infection and in your familiar space plus travelling is pretty awful. Just take your time and make sure you understand the questions and you will be fine. Turn off all forms of distraction first and make sure your mobile and landline phones are switched off. Best of luck!
Good evening
I hope you are well.
It came as a little surprise to me and as it is an on line paper , I am asking as to how the exam board with structure the paper on line .
I think once I am aware of how the paper will be structured this will enable me to face the paper with less anxiety .
I hope you are well
Thanks
I am trying to find out how the structure of the paper will be laid out
I hope you are well
I will try
Can you get a breakdown from them on the areas you did not do well in?
