Don't take the exam. Cry in the corner of the classroom instead.

Music.

It relaxes the soul. Use it in aid for studying purposes.

Sis if you don't sleep you're going to forget EVERYTHING

To control stress I recommend you 2 things that at least work for me in these situations:

1) overeating
2) GYM sessions

i had 7 exams already
after first ones you don't care that much.
i mean, you still need to study but it's much easier, cause you're not stressed out.

I have a big exam tomorrow.I'm not that worried,I've been studying for two months for it and I guess that helps.
I'm just gonna go there and talk about the things I know like if it was a normal conversation!It works for my nerves.

Lots of caffeine and pain killers. You should sleep though, if you don't then your brain won't index what you studied for the day. Worst thing you can do is not sleep.

Also I can't stress how important this is but you must take breaks. Many of my friends try to study for 5 hours straight and then say 'I didn't understand ****.' I study for an hour, then take 15-20 minutes off as break watching BuzzFeed videos or playing with my pets or catching up on texts. You should do the same.

The day of the exam, do not drink caffeine and do the exam. The adrenaline rush in you is enough, caffeine is going to make you cranky and if you have a long test, you probably will crash half way through. And for revision, do not go crazy the last minute. As you're prepping for the exam you should write on a paper small but important notes, so 15 minutes before the exam just read those notes.

That's what I do, and it's pretty effective and organised for me. Good luck!!

I won't give you tips on studying because I'm a mess at that

, but I'll try to share what works for me when trying to calm down.

When you start to feel nervous/anxious/whatever, try to breathe in and out slowly filling your stomach with air, not your chest. Focus on your breathing and try to think positive thoughts about yourself and your abilities. It may sound silly but it really works for me and it does wonders beyond having you relaxed for the minute.

A hot shower! Take your time. It will relax your muscles and clear your mind.

That's what works for me. Good luck!
