Thank you so much for responding :) . As you can see I am not studying - again. What the heck is wrong with me? I should study, but even that is uncomfortable :( . I feel better studying with other people. I am up late at night right now so I can get some stuff done and have time to study over the weekend. I reread my first post, and I sound paranoid, lol :) . I think I made it sound a lot worse than reality, but yes, definitely, the fear is THERE. It does get hard to breathe. I can hear my heart thumping, and sometimes I feel like I am drowning. Would I ever die from that? I will keep that in mind, however, and make sure I am in good physical condion...do not want to get a heart attack at school...but maybe that would help me find a way out of the test...grrrrrr this sucks.
