This page explains how exam pressure can make a medical entrance test feel impossible to face and what you can do in the moment. It also covers practical ways to decide whether to sit the exam, seek support, or make another plan.
I’m here with you. When you say you don’t think you can sit for it, do you mean sit for the exam, or are you thinking of harming yourself? If there is any chance you may hurt yourself, stay beside a trusted person now and tell me clearly whether you are safe.
