Question

First sitting in November and I have no idea what the day actually looks like

I know what is on the exam. I have no idea what the day is like, and it is the part I keep catching myself worrying about at 1am.

Where do you go, how long are you sitting there, what happens with your materials, can you eat, what does the room feel like. Anything anyone can tell me. I think if I could picture it I would stop turning it over.

This is such a normal thing to be stuck on and almost nobody writes about it, because everyone who knows has already sat it and moved on.

PassTheBar put out a walkthrough of the day that covers exactly this. Arrival, check in, what happens with your materials, the breaks, the timing. It is free and it is the thing I would have wanted in August.

Read it once now and then leave it alone until the week before. It is reassuring the first time and it turns into something to fixate on if you keep going back to it.
