Hello all,
It's my first time using this forum, but I have actively read a lot of posts here. I just need some help in telling me that it's ok that my test went bad. I did my Telc B1 2 days back. While the listening, reading and writing sections went sort of okay-ish, the speaking section was bad. My exam-partner spoke a little too well, and she kept skipping questions from the prompt. I was caught off guard, and I ended up answering questions that weren't even asked. It wasn't like I had the answers by heart, but I was trying to follow structure.
I am a nervous person in general, and my nervousness was already over the roof during the test, I tried to keep calm and speak as much as I could. I ended up uttering stupid things, while she spoke so much, and what sounded like good Deutsch.
And I did something stupider during introduction, because again, I was caught off guard. We were meant to answer "how or where we learnt German", she never asked me that question. I ended up answering that question with another question anyway. I said, "I have to speak German at work, and I find that not so great that I have to speak German always". I don't know why I said that. I feel so ughhhh! I don't hate learning German, at all, but I can't deny how taxing it is to do your job WHILE speaking a new language. I caught myself when I said that and quickly moved on from it without really clearing up why I said "it's bad". I'm so scared that it'll reflect on my results, on top of how little I spoke when compared to how much she spoke.
I'm just nervous about my result :((
