Hi oggn,

Dont get nervous, have faith!

Its all about how have you performed. Was it according to their criteria.

Dont get anxious. Just keep it off your mind till the result. I hope you will pass.

hi oggn,

After the exam, I couldnt recall how many mistakes i did, how many SPs i councelled etc etc, so i kept quiet and didnt put any question on this forum after my exam. Because this just creates more anxiety. What ever is done is done. Just keep your hopes alive and spirits up!

May you pass it!

Best of luck!
