Good morning peevers.

What a windy time we're having here! And boy was it wet yesterday!

Good luck for your French oral presentation at Uni today Miss J!

Hmm- anyone remember taking exams?

Maybe you've done something in your adult life? Maybe someone you know is affected?

Last exam I took was probably some advanced driving tests.

So although this peeve might be ancient news for us lets try this as the POTD;

Exam nerves.

Getting a doctors exam make me nervous sometimes. Especially if it a woman doc.

It's been years since I've taken an exam. But even now, I have a recurring exam anxiety dream. It's always the same: It's time for the class to begin, but I haven't studied and I don't even know where the classroom is. I am wandering the corridors hoping that I'll remember where I am supposed to go. I know that I am not prepared and that I am going to fail the test miserably. Then the dream ends.

Those bluebells are as pretty as the Texas Blue Bonnets!

Exam nerves.

I usually did okay with an exam of the paper and pencil type, no nervousness to impede my progress.

Been a long time for me too but speaking engagements make me nervous. That is what really makes me nervous today.

Exam nerves...what a fantastic peeve Jezer I always had anxiety taking exams. I used to get upset stomach,was irritated and studied endlessly and after the exam it was all back to normal . I am out of school now sort of I am in Martial Art school since many years and we get tested all the time and still I feel so nervous I have a huge Exam coming up in summer,training for that almost 4 years and I am going out of my mind My written test is behind me, I still have to be tested verbally and that is the time I am usually lost at words The physical test can only ,,hurt'' So Jezer...good peeve...have a nice day!

Good peeve, Jezer. I always get super nervous before a test. The last test I had to take was online for Excel and I hadn't used it in forever. I studied for 3 days straight, hardly slept I was so nervous about taking it and then it turned out the test was so simple - no formulas or any advanced functions. Course if I wouldn't have crammed it would have been just the opposite

I always got those exam nerves, but I got more nervous when the teacher called upon me to answer a question outloud in class. I always seemed to freeze up and never did get over that.

Lovely pictures.
