maniac Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 For me it was during my Xth std Board exams.I had pressure on me during X11th and during competitive enternaces for admission in Graduation or PG too but for me it was Xth.what was the most amount of pressure you put yourself under? The other phases of life might be under pressure are during Shaadi,1st job interview,1st child,Visa for going abroad etc Discuss
maniac Posted November 3, 2011 Author Posted November 3, 2011 added the poll for some reason wasn't able to do it earlier.
coffee_rules Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Degree finals - had to plead to a professor to grant me permission to attend the exam as I didn't have 60% attendance in his classes. He kept harassing me that he would make me sit one more semester ...finally, he agreed to let me write exams. I had already gotten a job (campus interview) and he knew it. I am still grateful to him.
punjabi_khota Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 One day I ate too much bad mexican food and was driving on a freeway with no restroom in sight for miles.
Rahul Dravid Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 pool fail... there are soo many worse pressures in life... maybe u just havent been thru much.
Lurker Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 NDA interview at Air Fore Service Board (AFSB) Varanasi..Probably one of the best experience of entire life, also one of the most stressful for a 16 year old lad.
maniac Posted November 3, 2011 Author Posted November 3, 2011 pool fail... there are soo many worse pressures in life... maybe u just havent been thru much. The poll only allows me only 10 options.That's where the other 'option' comes in :winky:
Ram Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 In all seriousness, it had to be those dreaded B.E exams. The time would be 6 pm the day before the exam and by and large, I still wouldn’t have touched 75% of the syllabus. Every minute was like a gold nugget. Time management was crucial. Even food breaks could not be wasted, so they were used for revising already studied material. The morning of the exams was even worse. An hour can make the difference between getting rid of a ridiculous subject for good versus having to do it all over again, 6 months later. However, the tensest moments started from the point where the invigilator hands you the paper to the point where you’ve had a chance to skim thru it and feel reasonably confident…. Absolutely terrifying!
nballa Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 surprisingly job interview comes in the last place for me. maybe because in several of my old jobs i got hired by a manager wanting a cut of the hourly wage loot. lol god bless companies who hire consultants.
maniac Posted November 3, 2011 Author Posted November 3, 2011 One day I ate too much bad mexican food and was driving on a freeway with no restroom in sight for miles. That was more of a 'sticky' situation .Don't think qualifies for worst pressure phase does it?

Absolutely terrifying! Ya, I would agree. My undergrad was a total puck-up :hehe: Recently, for the past 2 weeks, I'm working pretty hard, and felt a little pressured for a day or two, but then I chilled out and let it go. :girly1:
cowboysfan Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 I would say my 10th exams,i breezed through high school and used to get lots of days off because i attended various cultural programs in others schools.I was in the quiz team,dumb charades etc and my school took those competitions very seriously.It was the first time i had to study so hard and really work for it.
