Hi

This isn't a technical question...more of a mindset problem!

When I start doing a lab and something in the first few crucial questions
backfires, I start to panic, get frustrated and then then get angry with
myself. This of course snowballs the longer the problem goes on, in to more
frustration, more anger and a completely cr_at_p state of mind which makes the
troubleshooting the initial problem so much harder and well a Catch-22
situation which is really hard to recover from.

In other exam situations I have always headed for a nice easy question first
to get points under my belt and get a good feeling for the harder stuff. But
that can't be done here.

I don't suffer from lack of confidence or experience of labs :(( - does
anyone have any good coping strategies for not getting wound up in the first
hour or so when things go wrong? Or should I just get so fast that I can
spend the first hour in the loo.....
