I'm dreading the trials. Last year I failed numerous subjects, and my ranks were atrocious. This year, I pulled up my socks, studied my ass off and pushed myself into the top 10 for all my subjects and ensured I'm above average for everything. All my subjects I've now pulled above 80% averages, except Physics and math (extremely hard exams). I'm really happy with my marks atm and believe if I maintain them I'll get into my course, yet the only thing stopping me are the trials. I've been studying well, covered half the SOR2U course over the holidays, did 2 (almost 3) modules for English, and half way of Business course. I'm giving myself 2 weeks for math and Physics. I keep telling myself I'm going to fail, but IDK how to stop it. I've never been this worried, and I need to know how you guys stay confident. In these exams, I just need to stay above my current marks and even improve. Help?

Completely understand how you are feeling, I am feeling the same. I know these next few weeks are going to be challenging, but all we can do is do our best in studying. That way we won't be upset when we receive our marks. I spoke with a few people who did the trial, they told me its okay to be a little nervous. "Just take a deep breath and count to three on the side before exam". I found it also its good to talk with people about stress. Really helps. All the best.

Exactly man, all we can do is study and study our hearts out for these weeks. I think I'll take your advice and talk to others, only problem is not everyone is studying that I usually talk to, so I'm kinda alone, haha. Good luck and hope you do great. :)

Good job with pulling yourself up! If you keep up the pace you are now, I'm sure you'll do very well :) Like Spiral said, it does help to talk to people with you have issues, even a rant to your pet or something to just take it off you mind. Remember to stay positive :)

The best way to fight worry/anxiety is to put in your all. Leave the rest to the universe!
