Q&A about piano exams

Upcoming event piano exam
Practical or theory practical
Grade 6
Examination board LCM London College of Music
Last music exam Grade 5 Piano Practical exam, Winter 2012
Date two weeks from now maybe ?
Venue Wagner piano ? I'm not sure of the exact name
Nervous ? extremely
Excited ? NO NOT AT ALL
Prepared ? not really
Expectation Pass ? Maybe merit hahaha
Technical work melodic and harmonic scales still need more practice, still couldn't achieve the expected timing, staccato scales needs more practice and appregious is moderately okay
Pieces Joseph Haydn - Allegro, Sonata in G, Hob. XVI/G1 , Eduard Pütz - Sentimental Lady (Jazz Waltz) from Waltzing the Blues , Claude Debussy - Le Petit Nègre
Problems faced for the first piece the echoing part (forte and mezzo-piano part)and the speed
Problems faced for the second piece the gentleness and expression needed
Problems faced for the third piece the two notes slur :/ couldn't achieve Debussy type of strict standard
Viva voce memorizing all those French and Italy music terms makes me wanna learn both that language
Sight reading shit I hate that, by getting 3/8 is already enough
Aural test needs more practice on the difference of pitch (cadences- perfect, imperfect and interrupted) and (modulation- subdominant, dominant and relative minor) 
Parts most afraid of now two notes slur and sight reading
Dead yet half :(
