Honestly I felt the same way and the anxiety was worse than the test. I passed in 75 questions and it was not bad at all. I wanted to throw up before I went in but decided to take it early to get it over with. Just take it, you will feel better and realize the anxiety is far worse than the test.
i think most of us are feeling the same way, anxiety is always there and beneficial as long as it's not severe , on my first 3 takes i scheduled my exam at 8am which i think is not a good idea since you were not able to sleep well at night and rushing to get into the center at time. i think the best time to take the test is 11am onward, a time when we are fully awake, so on my 4th try i took a 1pm exam and when i got into the testing center i washed my head in the toilet and literally soaked my head with cold water, for some reason it gave me a good, alive and refreshed feeling, and thank god i passed. goodluck, relax and pray.

this is exactly why im taking my test at 2 pm. i too am taking my test on the 22nd but its my second try. but yea try to relax.. breathhh and try to at least do some practice questions a day (100 at least) to keep that computer test taking mentality.
Good Luck. please pray for me as i will to every DEC test takers! thanks!

my schedule was actually last december 15 but i have to re-schedule it because of my anxiety. it was a relief really, but as december 22 is fast approching, i really want to study still but i dunno why can't i. i mean, i keep on relaxing and chilling inspite of the anxiety i am feeling for my upcoming exam but it's been lessen compared with what i've had before. even if i want to study, i can't study and or even concentrate. i don't want to cram either.
i'm just keeping my faith alive that i'll be able to pass. i know that i already know things that i ought to know and was able to study them during my review days.
wish me luck!
