Oh my goodness I was not ready for the test! I was so nervous. I have never had a test like that before. It took longer than I expected to write about a topic the first day. After the first day of testing, I did feel a little more prepared the second day. I was able to pick my topics and write about them in the time allotted. I felt less pressure, perhaps because I was better prepared for the time restraint and more confidence in my own ability. When I finished the last part of the test, I felt a great relief that the test itself was over. If I could see my test before the final, I think it would help me to be better prepared if it is set up the same way.
