I was off work yesterday because my FFP exam was scheduled in the afternoon. It's the first subject I'm taking for my Diploma in Financial Planning. I was pretty chill about it at first knowing that I easily passed the online practise exams. But as the hours were winding down, I started feeling anxious about it. Coming from a quick catch up lunch with the girls - Teena, Jericho and Ela - I was half an hour early for the exam. While waiting for the time, I noticed all the other examiners fidgeting with their notes, nervously flicking through the pages of the module and noisily typing on their calculators. I thought to myself, "Geez, every one's pretty nervous about this, should I be too?". After that thought, I started to panic and began mimicking everyone. I started racing through each of the eight modules' review questions and then I started panicking. But it was too late, soon after, we got called in the exam room and I said my last prayer. Last prayer for the Holy Spirit to enlighten my mind and help me pass the exam. Straight after my "Amen", I could feel myself calm down and start answering the questions. The answers didn't come to me very easily though. I had to review my answers a couple of times and kept flicking through my notes (thank God for open-book exams!). Halfway through, I dared to press the Submit Exam button quickly scanning for my score. I was saw nervous that it took me a good 45 seconds to find the result - Competent! Ahh, the only word I was hoping for. Yay! I was practically skipping out of the room. I felt extra good too because I was the first one in our batch to finish the exam.
Done. Dusted. Finito.
I can go back my normal life now. For now, I can say bye-bye to my notes and read my magazines.
Till my next study time.
