How many times they have to repeat themselves?
I am preparing for an exam, finishing the text book, here is what is mentioned TWICE on the book - at the very front, and at the very end:
WORKING UNDER PRESSURE
The inflexible time limit of the graphic portions creates subjective as well as real problems. This exam generates a unique psychological pressure that can be harmful to performance. While some designers thrive and do their best work under pressure, others become fearful or agitated under the same conditions. It is perfectly normal to be uneasy about this important event, and although anxiety may be a common reaction, it is still uncomfortable.
Candidates should be aware that pressure is not altogether a negative influence. It may actually heighten awareness and sharpen abilities. In addition, as important as this test may be, failure is not a career-ending event. Furthermore, failure is rarely an accurate measure of design ability; it simply means that you have not yet learned how to pass this difficult exam.
How funny it is just to read this... Don't they understand that the "advices" they are over-emphasizing here is already giving pressure to the candidates, well, at least to me... they are trying to be funny and kind, but yet cruel at the same time. ><"

"[Failure] simply means that you have not yet learned how to pass this difficult exam." Humorous and true at the same time.
