beacon-counselling.org.ukLet’s be honest now, no one actually like exams do they? The stress leading up to them, feeling like if you don’t spend every waking minute revising you’re going to fail, being absolutely convinced that you don’t know any of the things you knew five minutes ago – you get the point, it’s stressful.
So that said, you also know the chances are you will get at least one question that you aren’t that well-prepared for – you just have to accept it.

Always seems to be the way with those deep philosophical questions, or when people manage to fuck up asking a simple question.
