Personally, I really struggle with negative self- talk. So I think reminding yourself that the test doesn't define you and just working on self-talk in general. I also started meditating for about 10 mins before a session/ test, and that has really helped me make sure that I am focused and in the right headspace. Good luck! I am sure you're improving and working hard!

I also work full-time and found that having a set schedule works out really well for me. I do an hour after work Mon-Wed and on the weekends do two hours. I have a tutor on Saturday, which helps, because I am reminded that I am paying money for these services, and it keeps me accountable to working on the days that I set.

Of course some work days are so much harder than others, but thats why you make a plan that's flexible and do-able and maybe takes a little more time than an more traditional learner without a FT job.

Try to tell yourself its not really an option to not study, because your future is that important to you. But also maybe get a tutor who keeps you accountable to learning! And of course, it is okay to fall off sometimes. But recognizing and then getting back to it matters more!
