I'm unemployed, but no intention to overstay. Any help?

Hello.

I'm a brazillian guy so I don't need a visa, checking the government website. I'm arriving at Birmingham next week, and I'm super nervous because of the immigration officer. I'm going to visit my girlfriend for 17 days, which has a tier 4 visa valid until september. I'll take with me a invitation letter from her to show that I'll stay at her place and a plane ticket for my return already bought. I also have an old passport with a VST visa from 2010, when I took a 2 weeks course at Cambridge, UK.

But there is a problem. I've just graduated (august 2015) and I'm still unemployed. That's because I'm mostly studying by myself for two things: 1) to get a master degree at my field, I need to pass an super difficult national exam. 2) to get a public employment, which in Brazil you need to pass an specific exam/test for that.

So, I'm not able to show any institutional bond to prove my return. I'm still living with my parents. About bringing some proofs about the exams: The exam for my master degree only start the registrations at september. The others exams is super unreliable.

I'm mostly paying the trip with savings from my internship and receiving financial support from my father (i'm bringing his proof of earnings, my international credit card and £100). I'm afraid that it will be a problem for the immigration officer to get a tourism/visitor visa. I really don't have any intention to overstay. I actually have and exam one week after my comeback. (I can't get a registration confirmation until 5 days before the exam day) What should I do to help endorse that?

Any help would be apreciated. I'm actually super afraid. :(

In addicion: I sent a e-mail to UK Visas and Immigrations international enquiry service and they told me "
If you can not provide same documents for certain reason please include covering letter."

So i'm planing to take this with me:
I’m writing this cover letter to cover the lack of a document showing details of employment or studies.
I’ve finished my bachelor degree on august 2015 on Economics. Attached to this document is the translated certificate. I’m holding the original one if necessary. That being said, I’ve been since studying by myself for two purposes. The first one is a necessary exam to get a master degree at my field of expertise, called the ANPEC exam, which the next one will likely be held in September, 2016. You can check theirs website at: http://www.anpec.org.br/novosite/br/exame. The other purpose is to get an employment at the public sector, which also requires contest exams. Currently I have two exams scheduled. One at 17th April, and other at 15h May.
So I’m not employed and neither looked for a job for that reason. I’ve being financially supported by my parents. They are also giving me the financial support I need for this trip. I only intend to visit my girlfriend, who is waiting me at this airport, and get to know England better. I also already came to England in 2010 and got a VST visa, which you can find on page 5 on my old passport.
Please ask me if you need further information.
What do you guys think?
