So I’ve got a German oral exam coming up for German 4 class I’m in. Unfortunately the grade is rather objective based on how the teacher “feels” about how well you do. A little background, the last two classes I took were taught by a really great guy who I got along with very well, I was given 100% grades on both final oral exams in those classes due to the conversation being very natural since we got along so well. Anyway, this semester my teacher is, instead of a really nice, brilliant twenty-two-year-old guy, a fifty-something-year-old woman who seems to thoroughly dislike then men in the class (the class is four girls, four guys, and I swear she treats the girls significantly better). I’m honestly a little worried about this exam, not for lack of actual German language knowledge, since I am for all intents and purposes fluent, but rather concerned that just because she doesn’t “like” me, she won’t give me the grade I deserve. I’m going to do my damn best on this test, but I’m hoping that with the right [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/), maybe I can at least get her to relax just a little bit. I’m thinking that maybe A314 is best to stay away from, since this may make me seem more “male” and therefore make it even worse for me. Any thoughts? Advice is hugely appreciated, guys. I’ve got all the Instants, CTTM 2, A314. I also have some female copulins coming in from Love-Scent, which I was thinking about. If she does indeed treat women more preferably, could I maybe take advantage of this by putting on a tiny bit of the copulins? **Note:** I don’t have any of IFM or pure androstadienone at the moment, which might just make me cry because this would be the perfect situation. If the consensus is that this is by far the best one to use, I’ll try to get some sent overnight from Love-Scent. ---

You should have been wearing the A314 the whole time. I doubt the effect during one exam would change her perspective of you. If you’ve got a few classes left before the exam though you should start wearing a bit of A314. Even if she really truly has something against males in general, the peaceful alpha vibe will be the best antidote to her bias. Most of the others could make her more impulsive. I don’t see how that benefits you. ---

Even if she really truly has something against males in general, the peaceful alpha vibe will be the best antidote to her bias. Most of the others could make her more impulsive. I don’t see how that benefits you. My thoughts here are first that she doesn’t really know me that well from anybody else in the class, she teaches a bunch of different classes and has forgotten my name, I’m kind of working with a blank slate. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother, I know all too well that pheros do almost nothing in the short-term on people who already know you. Anyway, if you really think that A314 could work with me rather than against me, I’ll take a leap of faith here and trust you on that. I just can’t help but feel that anything that sends across a “male” vibe might just hurt me. It’s too hard to tell - I really can’t pinpoint exactly what makes her so difficult. ---

Ahh, it’s been a long time, I wasn’t thinking about it being a one on one thing. Keep the A314 on the light side of your sweet spot. One other possibility that I might mention is that IO was pretty darned good for me when I was taking a night Spanish class awhile back. If you can, test a couple of sprays of IO with a study buddy before the exam. You’ll want an outside perspective. It seemed to really prime up the language center in the brain for me. ---

So sorry! I really should have clarified that earlier, yes, it’s a one-on-one exam. Which is why I was surprised that you didn’t mention any of the socials. I have some IO, I’ll take your advice and try that. Who knows, maybe just that alone will have the best results, or none at all (which is better than negative results) ---

A314 would be even better in the one on one environment. You aren’t going in there to make friends with or open up your prof. You’re going in there to ace an exam…that’s the vibe you want to project. You’re gonna do it smoothly and with confidence…that’s A314. You want her respect. What makes A314 so special is that it really brings out the best in people who might not be predisposed to giving you their best. A caution about “congruency” here. You are apparently a 4th year German student who can walk the walk. Don’t wear A314 unless you are sure can be that and only that. Adding any pretension to A314 is asking for trouble. I mentioned the IO more as an after thought, but do try it if you have time and still have doubts about the A314. ---

Alright, I’ve decided to go with the A314 on itself - I do have absolute confidence in my technical ability to ace this exam - what was concerning me was getting a mediocre grade for not being “liked”, since this one is (or can be). So, here goes nothing … I’ll post results later in the week, should be Thursday or so.
