Anyone else feel their exam day confidence is gradually fading away?

I’m feeling the same way, i read this post a few days ago and it made me feel a lot better (quoted below). Try not to overthink it, you still got 45 days until the results are released.

What I remember from these exams is that there wasn’t such a strong correlation between the sections I felt good about and the sections I actually did well in.
My experience was the following:
1) Feel reasonably good but not fully confident as I walked out of the exam.
2) Day by day, thinking through the problems and realizing that a lot of things I thought I’d nailed were actually problems I got tricked on.
3) Gradually feeling extremely nervous that I did not pass because my margin of confidence got highly eroded.
4) Announcement day came, relieved that I actually did pass.

44 more days left and counting… if you think about it, 15% of the wait is over, only 6 weeks remain :D
 
A 55% tile even should be a pass.
I am, superficially,gaining my confidence this way , I probably made a few silly errors and stopped thinking about it now.
 
Stop think about this. Of course it will fade away as long as you are thinking about this exam whole day. The result is something on what you cannot influence once exam has been taken. You can affect on exam result only in period during preparing not after the exam.
Do something useful for you, buy a new car as I am going to. Find a girlfriend or what else makes you happy. Just stop think about exam result.

I am thinking too much about it because this is my second attempt, last year I failed Band 10, was extremely painful.
 
I understand. I had a dream last night that I failed with band 10. Bad feeling. I am currently occupied by stacking configuration of the new car. Try it, it helps …

Tomorrow I am installing a new leather roof on my MX5. Waited like 5 months for this weekend…
 
Yepp…many things to do and plenty of time after exam.
I have almost forgotten how life can be easy without the study preassure.
