As Osem said don't enter the process with an attitude or predetermined "I'm gonna fail" view as most of the people in the system genuinely want to help and get you the benefits your entitled too. They like us are constrained by a badly thought out and implemented system that wasn't designed to be fair but to cut as many people as possible.
