Yes and no...
For the first time in my life did I really know what fear was when I was sitting my alevel exams, which really was the beginning of a crippiling anxiety.
I guess it really depends your outlook on life and your coping mechanisms, back when I was studying I had an attitude of "this is it" and I believed my self worth was determined by whether I got into uni or not but I do laugh about it now because it really isn't!
