After your exams, sleepless nights, and stress is all over, right? Well this is true, you realize results day is just around the corner and questions like ‘’what if I fail, how will I cope; Did I write well enough to pass; I hope ICAN will just let me pass;’’ . Sometimes the pressure of waiting for your results feels worse than actually sitting for the exams itself.
I remember one of our students Julius back then when he was writing his ICAN skills level exams, once he is through with the exam, he would call our office every week to confirm when the results will be released and always wish he can get his answer script so that he can make some corrections and add to what he has written and I don’t blame him for that but the funny thing is that his wish never come through, he only spends time thinking about what he didn’t do and the mistakes he made for weeks which sometimes gets him worried and sick. Then, I made him understand that he does not have the power to correct his mistakes in that paper, the best he can only do is to hope for the best result and try all he can to avoid the same mistake in the next exam by preparing immediately which he adopted.
I am glad that he got Chartered last year November 2016.
Waiting for your exam results is stressful, there is no doubt. Here are my tips for keeping that pre-results day anxiety and make the best use of your time.
- Be positive – The big benefit is it lowers stress, a pretty useful thing when it comes to results day. If you are struggling why not do something as simple as smiling? Now for a bit of science, when you smile a chemical called endorphin is released, the stress hormone Cortisol is reduced. So the more you smile the less stress stressed you become!. Stay positive, believe you are capable and hope for the best. Know your strengths andbelieve in them.
- Start Saving for the next diet exam fees: What you need to start doing now is making plans for the next diet exams, (how to pay for exam fees, how to get necessary materials for the next stage). Doing this will free your mind from clusters while preparing for the next exam, you will be at peace when you know you are financially capable and then, you can fully concentrate on reading and passing your ICAN exams.
- Keep yourself busy– If you did not write the last diet examination, now is the time to get busy and start preparing early for the next diet examination. And if you wrote the last diet exams, wishing you success. However, you also need to start preparing for your next attempt so that you can do better than you did the last diet, remember, no effort is too much and you can never be too prepared for ICAN exams. So start now and don’t procrastinate. Whether you fail or you pass, you will still need to write that course you are preparing for now.
To your life Success
