[General] Anxiety before registering for the CAE exam

[orfeox5]

Greetings, I am 18 year old student. I finishes successfully my CAE preparation course three months ago and the time to sit the exam is drawing near. I should have already registered myself but due to anxiety I procrastinated and decided to wait till the next date. The ''registration'' deadline for this next day is tomorrow and , to tell the truth, I have been feeling extremely perturbed these days. The thing is, I want to achieve an A grade so that it is certified that my skills match the C2 level. However, my mock exam scores during the course were - 193, 196, 197, which, unsurprisingly, has put me off . I am well aware that the more I wait, the worse my form will get. What should I do ?

[STRIKE]Greetings,[/STRIKE] Unnecessarily formal.

Hello.

I am an 18-year-old student. I successfully finished [STRIKE]successfully[/STRIKE] my CAE preparation course three months ago and the time to sit the exam is drawing near. I should have already registered [STRIKE]myself[/STRIKE] but, due to anxiety, I procrastinated and decided to wait till the next date.

The ''registration'' deadline for [STRIKE]this next day[/STRIKE] that exam is tomorrow and, to tell the truth, I have been feeling extremely perturbed [STRIKE]these[/STRIKE] in/over the last few days.

The thing is, I want to achieve an A grade so that [STRIKE]it is certified[/STRIKE] I can show/prove that my [STRIKE]skills match the[/STRIKE] English is at C2 level.

However, my mock exam scores during the course were (no dash here) 193, 196, and 197, which, unsurprisingly, has put me off. I am well aware that the more I wait, the worse my form will get. What should I do?

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

My advice - get yourself to wherever you need to go tomorrow and register for that exam! Never mind your form; the longer you wait, the less confident you will be. No one ever feels 100% confident about an exam. Just do it! If you fail, you can just take it again.

(Note my corrections above.)

Take it and do your best. You will probably get a good result, a result that will allow you to use it as a qualification. If it's not quite the result you want, you will be able to take it again at some point, with the benefit of experience. I hope it goes well for you.
