• Dealing with exam anxiety is something we all
  have to face, anyone going into an exam not
  feeling the least bit nervous is probably not
  taking the situation seriously.

Before the Exam !

• Be prepared! Learn your material thoroughly,
  approach the exam with confidence View the exam
  as an opportunity to show how much you've studied
  and to receive a reward for the studying you've
  done.
• Don't go to the exam on an empty stomach. Fresh
  fruits and vegetables are often recommended to
  reduce stress. Stressful foods can include
  processed foods, artificial sweeteners,
  carbonated soft drinks, chocolate, eggs.
• Allow yourself plenty of time and get there a
  little early.
• Relax just before the exam.

During the Exam

• Stay relaxed and confident, remind yourself that
  you are well-prepared and are going to do well.
  Don't let yourself become anxious if you feel
  anxious before or during an exam, take several
  slow, deep breaths to relax. Don't talk to other
  students before an exam anxiety is contagious
• Preview the exam, spend a short period of your
  exam time reading through the paper carefully,
  marking key terms and deciding how to budget your
  time. Plan to do the easy questions first and the
  most difficult questions last. As you read the
  questions, jot down brief notes indicating ideas
  you can use later in your answers.

• When taking essay exams, think before you write.
  Create a brief outline for your essay by jotting
  down a few words to indicate ideas you want to
  discuss. Then number the items in your list to
  indicate the order in which you will discuss
  them. Make sure you do this rough work on the
  answer paper, as it may generate marks for you,
  if you do not complete your written answer.
• When taking an essay exam, get right to the
  point. State your main point in the first
  sentence. Use your first paragraph to provide an
  overview of your essay. Use the rest of your
  essay to discuss these points in more detail.
  Back up your points with specific information,
  examples, or quotations from your readings and
  notes. Do not waste time restating the exam
  question.

• Reserve 10 of your exam time for review. Review
  your exam resist the urge to leave as soon as
  you have completed all the questions. Make sure
  you have answered all the questions. Proofread
  your writing for spelling, grammar, and
  punctuation.
