Hi
I was just thinking today how it will be a year thsi week since one of the most stressful days of my life!

Hi
I was just thinking today how it will be a year thsi week since one of the most stressful days of my life!
I did Portuguse to English last January so I know how you feel. I took the exam here in Brazil, which was even more stressful since we only had half an hour between exams as the BC closed at 5pm. I don't know if you will have a computer, but I didn't, and had to do it by hand. Actually, I think it was better that way; the examiner can see your thought processes through your crossings out.
My advice; snack between papers to keep energy levels up, sweets, biscuits, apples ...whatever, and take lost of toilet breaks just to have a moment to take a deep breath and splash your face with water.Go out and have beer or two the night before and put the exam out of your mind for a few hours. Not very sophisticated advice, I know, but it worked for me.

Good luck! ▲ Collapse
