E.g. plenty of sleep the night before, drink water, and stay calm. Realise that failing doesn't matter. Also be nice and friendly to the examiner when you walk in - they want you to pass so keep it that way. They're also used to seeing people nervous so don't feel like you're any different. An examiner once told me (after the test) that she'd had a solder in a few days earlier. He'd served in various warzones and seen his friends shot down in front of him. Surely that would change your outlook on priorities and pressure.... but when it came to the music test he was a bag of nerves and could only barely hold it together. They are scary... but its just a music test. The only pressure is what you put on yourself. Edited January 28, 2009 by Eight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
