Have a look at this thread for help with calming down nerves.

Good Luck!! Everything will go well, you're just nervous....!

The adrenaline that comes with the nerves will give you that extra push.

Good luck!

Will definately pray for you.

Eat a banana 1/2 hour before you do your esam - it helps to keep you calm.

Do your best

Keep smiling and enjoy yourself!!!

(in an exam??)

All the best.

What a strange thing to say. You could well offend some people with this sort of statement.

Is it not possible to be Catholic AND Christian?

And if someone is neither Christian nor Catholic, does that mean they cannot pray?

Bizarre!

I've never seen anyone Catholic and Christian but you never know.

I don't think anyone meant to be rude. To be honest, it is as offensive as you make it.

I thought it was pretty well essential.....

I guess ilikepiano was actually trying to avoid giving offense, given how some people have reacted in the past when people have offered to pray for each other

Good luck, i like piano.

Strange how they blashpemed (OMG) in the same paragraph they are inviting prayer. LOL..

I'm sure you will do fine, good luck with it. Probably just nerves, like the others have said.

I think he has already done the exam by now.

Really? Guess I should pay more attention in RE.

but what if you're a protestant christian? can't they pray?

I guess it could have been oh my gosh, but yes, a little odd


I don't think the OP ruled protestants out....

OOPS...i didnt realise that my single slip of mistake had causes such controversy here.im sorry, i shud have said that pls pray for me in the name of our might God.anyway, i;'ve finish my exam and im quite sad bout it.i played 2 notes wrong on scales and forgot one of the scales!!!!!i think i've been too nervous, after the exam i think back of tat scales it wasnt hard at all...it was Bb minor.sad...and for pieces im not sure but i didnt do as well as i did at my teacher's house.aural is dissapointing as well..for singing from notes part, the examiner even asked me to sing what he played...just like teaching a kid...T.The played the notes and asked me to sing...'So~~~Re~~~Do~~~la~~~''.i was to embarassed......for sightreading i was given a score of staccato extract!!!!!!!!i would have done much better if tat was just a legato/normal extract.the exam was a mess..honestly.bt im glad that it was all over now and i can focus on my main exam now...which is equivalent to....O level if i wasnt mistaken.

Go for it!!
I'm sure it'll be a time for you to shin tomorrow, just stay calm and cool, show them your best!!
Don't worry, I'll pray for you, and God will look after you so that you'll be very fine tomorrow, just get a goodnight sleep.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind. " [2tim1:7]

Don't worry about it. For my grade 4 I: played 1 out of 3 scales; stopped in the middle of my A piece and flopped my aurals but I still passed!

Catholics are Christians...that's their religion...the Catholic church is just sort of a 'section' (sorry can't think of a better word...) of Christianity, just like Baptist, Methodist, Protestant, Anglican...*forgotten the rest*







Great thread, I'm sure your exam wasn't as bad as you thought it was! Best of luck with the results

They believe in the same things and have the same holy book and that but they are different in a way aren't they? *confuzzled*

Goodness, I've even shocked myself in how much I know about religion!
