Hi Experts,
I have given a mock today and i have scored V 36. I got a total of 9 questions incorrect and the 1st 5 errors were in the 1st 10 questions itself. Despite giving a mock, when i started the exam, i could feel anxiety and fear, as a result of which I could feel that my brain was fogging and at times couldn't comprehend what was in front of my screen. I couldn't pre-think in CR and couldn't get the meaning in SC. After the 10th questions, i had calmed down a bit and got the next 9 questions correct and 4 errors in last two sets. ( 2 errors per set). SC is my weakest in verbal sections followed by CR then RC.
Please can i get some help in handing test anxiety. Clearly getting 5 incorrect in the 1st 9 questions costed me a good score in the mocks and no amount of verbal content practice can help me unless I be calm and be in zen mode during my final exams. I'm very worried about this.
Thanks
Kitty

Wow! Nice work scoring V36 even though you had brain fog issues and missed 5 of the first 10 verbal questions.
One thing you could try is doing some practice questions right before you take the test so that the fog clears while you're answering practice questions rather than while you're answering test questions.
Also, I think you'll find that, by focusing on the question in front of you, you can learn to clear the fog, understand the questions, and get them correct.
