@ Mudrat
Just so its clear, I don't think you are one of the instigators of uninformative and malicious posts. I don't want to list names, but there are quite a few people bringing the quality of information on this thread down to an all time low. I just want people to be supportive. Opinions are bound to differ, but let us all just agree to disagree in those cases. We all want the same thing here, so lets help each other.

Concerntrate on the next event (interview, test, flight) work your arse off, if you are good enough you will get the spot. I found that worrying about things on pilot's course that are outside your "sphere of influence" takes up headspace...
It's a hard thing to do, the stresses of scenarios outside your control do tend to take a hold of you. I can personally testify to that. But as you have aptly stated, focusing on the next event in your application allows you to forget about the worries outside of your influence.
