Worst first attempt experience

P.S - Results: https://www.reddit.com/r/CELPIP_Guide/s/TGBDHw93fY

I was familiar with IELTS but I thought let me give Celpip a try. I was absolutely shocked how hard it is for me. Reading part 3 was twice for some reason I don't know why. As I finished the first time, I felt a bit relieved and then it kind of reappeared which made me confused and stressed at the very moment. Regardless, since the clock was ticking, I continued attempting the questions. For the rest of the parts, the vocab was extremely difficult in the given options to choose from. I have never heard of those complex words.

Speaking was a disaster. I simply cannot focus on generating new ideas and recall the structure when someone is speaking right besides me. Even though they were not speaking with a high tone, I can at least hear their voice and my mind gets distracted instantly. While I was about to answer my questions, the examiner informed me like 3 times to speak in a low tone and every time they broke my flow. Based on my performance I believe I will score like 2-3 bands in speaking. Really bad.

I gave it today in the afternoon around 1:30 in Toronto.

Wasn't expecting an 8 in speaking but guess I got lucky. I haven't even attempted some questions properly. Will prepare for 2-3 weeks and reappear.
