I can't share too much detail. Long story short, I have to get that cert asap. (as in, within the next week or so). Work is covering it, and last week I did a 4 day training.

There's a lot to the exam I get, simply from experience. I'm getting slaughtered on the Azure CLI stuff since I simply cannot get the syntax to stick, no matter how many times I re-run through the labs.

Maybe your anxiety comes from the pressure to do the cert and not it's contents.

Do you feel you're not getting it or that you're not getting it fast enough? The latter can evolve into the former. And perpetuate the anxiety loop.

Mostly hardlocking on code, and issues committing syntax to memory. Which of course, given the extremely short timeframe (need to be certified in the next week or so) probably does amplify inherent exam anxiety.
