I've got a final exam tomorrow morning and im completely terrified. I studied like I normally do but I know absolutely nothing and Im going to do so shit. I tried my best and I studied every single minute I could but im so stupid and nothing has sunk in, there is no way I'll be able to pass

This exam has a huge weighting towards my final degree score and if I fail I won't be able to graduate, I will have to resit in the summer. I have a job lined up for after graduation and I am due to start in June. If I fail my exam tomorrow and have to resit it in the summer before I can graduate my job offer will be withdrawn.

Im so unbelievably scared. Im always nervous but this is next level nerves. I couldn't keep anything down today and kept throwing up because im so worried.

everyone in my family is so smart and then there's me. Im going to let down my extended family but most of all I'll be letting down my parents. They've sacrificed so much for me and yet I'm still completely thick. I really want to make them proud and I dont want to let them down but im going to do so badly tomorrow and im going to completely fail at everything and let everyone down

I was going over my notes one last time and it made me realise how little I know. I know nobody can help me but I just wanted to get this all off my chest before I cry myself to sleep about it. Everything always seems to scary at night and I feel so alone and scared about what's going to happen tomorrow

When all else fails just play around with the info in the question - you'd be surprised at how often you just "fall over" the answer

Hope it went well, Op and you’re treating yourself tonight.
For what it’s worth your classmates are probably thinking and feeling similar. I have just done my dissertation and I thought I would fail, be the worst, all that’s bad. Turns out I was in a better position that a lot of my classmates and I think majority of the class ended up with some form of extension.
Also I’m not sure how your exam is graded but it might be done on a grading curve so it might all depend on how your classmates have scored and national scores so even with some mistakes you might end up with a really good grade.

Take a break. Do something that relaxes you. If you genuinely know nothing ( not that I think you do) cramming all night won’t help. Assume you know all you will know now, relax, be refreshed for tomorrow. Or take a small break eat and list everything you do know afterwards. Can you check in with others on your course?

Just have a nice evening, no more study. I’ve sat many exams at a level, university and also for my professional qualification. There comes a point I find where I tell myself what will be will be. It took me many exams to learn to just trust myself and not study late the night before or wake up early to cram some bits on. But honestly just have a relaxed evening tonight you’ve done what you can now and I’m sure you’ll surprise yourself with how it goes tomorrow.

How did it go op?

Hi- thanks for all the lovely messages ❤️ the exam was very tough but I surprised myself that some of my knowledge came back to me during it and I knew more than I realised. I had worked myself into an awful state before it and was convinced I knew nothing! I don’t think I’ve got a good score and I don’t know if I’ve passed it, but it’s over now so I’m not going to dwell on it 👍🏻 thanks again everyone.

That doesn't sound too bad! Hopefully you have done enough to pass. 🤞🏻 good luck
