Listen lads I've been up since 1am because I am absolutely nervous about my Home Ec exam in which I have to cook 2 meals in 2 hours and so I ask you how do you stop getting nervous about it?
-
make pasta, that takes like ten minutes, then make a hamburger. you win
-
First meal: Take 4 slices of bread. Put cheese in between slices of bread. Put each of the bread-cheese-bread sandwiches into their own toaster slots. Toast them. While they're toasting, take some tomato soup, pour it into a bowl, throw it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Once you do all that, your toasted cheese sandwiches will be done toasting. Take them out, cut them in half, wait for the tomato soup to finish. To eat, dunk the toasted cheese half-sandwiches in the tomato soup like you dump chips (they're called fries where you come from, I think) in sour cream dip.
That should give you an hour and thirty minutes to make something really fancy.
-
I have to make chicken teryaki and prawn tempura.
-
You're screwed.
Find time during your classes (if you have any free time) to go over your ingredients, steps, etc. If you feel that you don't need to study anymore then you shouldn't worry.
-
Bahahaha.
Blindly put in any old crap and hope that, due to the magic of television editing, your meal will be perfect cooked and delicious.
-
Convince yourself you're gonna win this fight : if you start with low morale, it's not even worth fighting.
The ending is irrelevant, just think you're gonna win.
-
@ Thread title: Graduate and you won't ever have to worry about exams again.
-
I find that not worrying/caring about the mark that you get helps a great deal.
-
Cooking is just following directions. Do that and you'll probably get something semi palatable.
-
Most Indian food tastes like boiled cat urine anyway so long as it don't look burnt you should be fine.

Aren't they both Japanese dishes?
-
Same difference. Foreign muck is all the same except American/Canadian, Italian and Chinese.
-
Feeling nervous is pretty normal. How you deal with your anxiety can vary greatly. Confidence can be drawn from a sense of knowing the material through studying/practice. As Naryar said, the ending is irrelevant as long as you made the attempt. You should enter the room thinking that you will do your best and leave knowing that you have done just that.

lol, exams are easy dude
-
Can't do much worse then I did in year 7 cooking, I made garlic bread by toasting bread with garlic on it.

So I did the exam and I thought it went better than I thought. I nearly killed about 10 people by leaving the gas on for 10 minutes then turning the gas cooker on.
-
Maybe if you had killed a few they may have forgot about the exam. Missed a trick there I feel.

I like the way you think.

Good ! People need a bit of salt in their lives.

Nope, not consciously at least. By salt, I meant conflict.

I don't know other part of the world makes you take cooking exams....
Cooking in the US means ramens or popping something in the microwave.
-
Cooking exams as part of school is ridiculous, unless of course you have cooking as a main part of your curriculum. Sure, cooking is an useful skill IRL, but you don't need lessons to do it.
I never had anything like formal cooking lessons in my life, and heck I live in France.
What other ridiculous lessons do you follow ?

Really? Because I think it's a welcome change to have your pass/fail depend on skills that you'll actually use. Right now in college, I'm hitting up career fairs and employer events whilst juggling the economics essay for my capstone class. Guess which one has been more useful for a soon-to-be-graduate?

Obviously Microeconomics for RA2..... Unless you build IRL.

Honestly the best way I found not to get nervous about exams is just not to care about them. I know you can't really not care about something as important but just putting it to the back of my mind and focusing on something else always helps me.
-
The way I always coped with exams was.. hang on who am I kidding I just freaked out and went into meltdowns. :3

Would love to be of help but I am lucky to not get nervous over exams. Sorry I can't help you.
