Would like your opinion: What’s your pet CFA phobia?

Being sick on exam day.  

I find myself drinking too much water during mock exams, I am sure that three bathroom breaks will not only waste valuable time, but could also make the proctor suspicious and he’ll throw me out for excessive “leg bouncing”. (the trying-not-to-pee-while-you-are-sitting-at-a-desk kind of leg bouncing)

For sure calculator running out of batteries. It’s not like they are AA either. 

Pet phobia? Cats of course. What’s why I’m hesitant to join the CFA (http://www.cfa.org/)

For level one I legitimately feared I might pee my pants rather than take a break because I was so rushed for time!

I’m always afraid I’ll be late. I end up being really early and getting nervous by pacing in pace…

Totall agree with @fabian, I end up getting there so early but I usually bring headphones as a distraction. A few others too: Afraid that by stretching or clearning my throat a proctor will think im somehow cheating through a sophisticated code. Fear of forgetting something really important like my passport or exam ticket. And of course the fear of failing but thats not exactly irrational.

A calculator or battery failure. In my level one exam, I brought 2 to cover that risk. Then the guy in front of me brought an unapproved calculator and saw I had 2.  He asked to borrow one. I was mad. I couldn’t let him fail when I had the power to help. But I felt his poor planning put me at risk. When I went for level 2, I hid my second calculator until the exam started.

My biggest CFA phobia is probably the intense time pressure during the exam. With so much material to cover, the fear of running out of time family protection dogs for sale looms large. I find myself constantly second-guessing answers, which only adds to the anxiety of not completing all the questions in time.
