I have never been particularly scared of exams, but I have been nervous. Oral exams are what can really get me nervous. However, once I’m in the room I feel alright. I guess it’s sort of like having butterflies before going on stage and then it feels fine once you’re there. I have three oral exams in May and June. I’m particularly nervous or intrigued about one of them because I have to ‘defend’ my Bachelor paper. A few semesters ago I had an oral exam in Managerial Economics; and I was soooo nervous. I’m not very good with math and numbers, but I practiced and I passed. The point of this post is to share some tips that work for me and perhaps might work for you too. Sort of as a little reminder of how to prepare. These are all tips I’ve practiced myself during previous oral exams. I hope they’ll be an inspiration.
