Yes, you should study, study and study. It won't be raining answers during the exam.

But never forget to pray. No one ever know what questions will come out on the exam. Pray that whatever you have studied was all enough, that the questions will be under the scope of what you have studied, and that you'll stay calm and will not forget whatever you have studied.

Just PRAY. Whatever your religion is just pray to your God. You're prayers and faith in the Lord are powerful more than you think of.

PS. I know a lot of takers didn't make it, some of my friends too. It doesn't mean they're not smart or they have a weaker faith than those who passed. Maybe it's not yet their time but I don't know really. I don't know.

We don't why it happened. We may not understand God's ways now. But hoping someday that it will all make sense and that God has better plans. 

To my friends, I don't know what to do and say. But I just want you, my friends, to know that I am always here for you. I will continue to pray for you. Don't lose hope.
