Idea 1
Anxious and Stressed
Model Answer
When I'm not well prepared, I usually feel anxious and stressed. I start worrying about all the things that could go wrong and feel a lot of pressure to do well even though I know I'm not ready. This fear of failing or letting people down makes it hard to focus, and sometimes I even get physical symptoms like a racing heart or sweaty palms.
Idea 2
Motivated to Improve
Model Answer
If I'm not prepared, I try to use it as motivation to improve. I see it as a chance to learn and figure out what I need to work on. I feel determined to do better next time and might ask others for feedback or advice. I also try to make a plan to manage my time and resources better in the future.
Idea 3
Accepting and Adaptable
Model Answer
When I'm not well prepared, I try to be accepting and adaptable. I understand that it's not always possible to be perfectly prepared for everything. So, I focus on doing my best with what I have and stay calm. I try to think on my feet and adapt to any unexpected challenges that come my way, keeping a positive attitude throughout.
