I received a phone call recently from an A-level student panicking that she only had two weeks before her first exam. She felt ill-prepared and anxious about the time she’d wasted.
She spent a good 10 minutes explaining why she was in a pickle – What she had done, what she hadn’t done, what there wasn’t time for, how much she needed to pass these exams, the dire consequences of failing them etc etc
I found I simply couldn’t interrupt her! She had to get the whole complaint out there! But of course, to my mind, that was another ten minutes of revision time she’d lost, by focusing on all the problems instead of accepting where she is right now, and designing a constructive plan to move forward.
