English Exam Anxiety Patricia Gutzwiller from Switzerland Photo: istockphotos.com She had worked very hard for one year, studying nearly every day, or at least reading a book 15 minutes per day. Would it be enough? She was really anxious about tomorrow. Was she well prepared? Had she worked enough? It was too late … She had worked very hard for one year, studying nearly every day, or at least reading a book 15 minutes per day. She had done a lot of exercises, filling gaps, writing letters, essays, studying rules of grammar, listening to a lot of conversations, speaking alone in her room or to her cat. And what about all these phrasal verbs she tried to learn and use? The main question is: would it be enough, would she be able to pass the exam? Tomorrow will be the BIG DAY. She has to be in Geneva at 8.30 a.m. for the First Certificate in English. Good luck Pat!
