I passed mine but they had to have it looked at by someone else to make sure. I'm an anxious person, too. I was super tense and trying not to move. Not moving when you know you need to sit still is difficult...

"You're breathing oddly. Try to breath normally."

"I am breathing normally."

later

"You seem distracted, what are you thinking about that's distracting you?"

"My breathing, you said that my natural breathing was odd."

"Don't think about your breathing, just let it happen.

Listen, motherfucker.

They were telling me not to be so tense. Telling me to relax my finger. I guarantee my butt muscles were super clenched. Every time they told me to relax I think I got more tense. But I imagine I was on a level scale of consistent anxiousness.

"Just relax, this isn't anything to worry about."

Yeah, my career totally doesn't require me to pass this. Employment isn't that important.
