When you're writing a test or exam

[chantellehugs]

I get nervous before exams but I just sit by myself somewhere and slowly go over any important dates/formulas/facts in my head. As soon as the exam begins I'll quickly scribble down things I can't afford to forget and then I can relax and work through the paper in a calm manner. I don't like doing exams where there's not really a specific answer, I'm really calm when I'm doing a maths paper because there's no in between answer, it's either right or wrong.

I can't stand it when right before the exam someone comes up to me and starts reciting random facts in the hope that somehow they'll cram 30% of the stuff they should already know in 10 minutes. FML x10.

Happened to me once. I was having my Add. Maths exam and my mind went completely blank! I got a C from it.

I just did my first exam on Wednesday and sat down and was sooo nervous and felt sick it was awful and then all I could hear was people walking about and the floor boards were constantly creaking-.-

I get so nervous with exams tbh. I just work myself up and then they never seem so bad. My worst one ever was French when I had to describe a house (there was a picture of it) and the picture was awful so I was struggling to get many points. I did end up just making up a load of **** for it and coming out with a high mark, but I initially panicked as I thought it would be key to see it.

I'm usually fine in exams for things like Maths as they're not so hard for me to read so it's not so bad. I'm one of those people who, after doing the test, thinks for the worst (thinking I'm going to get **** grades) so if I get bad I expect it and any better is a bonus. Seems to work as I usually come out pleased as I do better then I expect I will.

With my English exams I always get worked up to the extent I make myself sick, but we do get given a 1/3 of a page for notes so we don't forget important stuff that need to be included in the essay. I am pretty nervous ATM as next week i have 5 exams, Maths English + 3 Science, the Maths and Science are more knowledge so i'm not too worried about them its mainly my English cause I really don't like English I don't know why I just never have!
