A few of us at work have been selected to take a specific industry exam to give us greater credibility with certain types of corporate clients. I'm on that list because I already provide consultancy services to those same clients, but I am to branch into this further niche area apparently. I said I would as I have some experience, but at the time I didn't know the exam would be mandatory.
We've been given a deadline of end of Nov, employer is paying, and it's a 2 hr, advanced diploma level multiple choice question paper. I've just picked up the text book and some mock papers, and I am absolutely shitting myself.
I don't understand about 50% of it and can't make head nor tail of the calculations - maths was the only area I was ever poor at at school (otherwise I was quite academic), and the only small element of the entrance exams for this industry that I failed once or twice when I started. We have some training days scheduled with a rather brilliant trainer at our firm who looks about 12, but I've seen him in action before, I know he's going to put people on the spot and I'm going to look thick.
I'm 47, perimenopausal and foggy minded as it is, most days I can just about remember how to find the bog. How the fuck am I going to get through or get out of this?
