Any tips on how to calm myself down? I mean i get all paniced, look at all the questions and get most of them wrong in the process..

Revise? That way you actually can remember some of the stuff you're supposed to. People think it's lame to revise, but if it's lame to get a good job as well then by all means don't revise (Y)
Breath slowly, try and think clearly, maybe have some gum or something - I always take a pack of gum on test days, the chewing (as weird as it sounds) helps me concentrate. It depends on what you need personally but breathing slowly & deeply tends to help most people

yeah chewing gum has been proven to increase concentration but if you're there for longer than even half an hour n have no where to put it then prob not a good idea n idk how thatll help anxiety
don't revise like an hour before the exam is my tip or youll just confuse yourself and get everything wrong. just relax, arrive early, read all the questions before starting to write, if you've looked at past papers you'll know what to expect, keep water next to you. if you start worrying during a question just stop take a sip of water and try again.
I get nervous too so I know it's hard

Woo I have this problem for tomorrow ><
I just get nervous since I am worried I won't get the A I want![]()
Take three deep breaths and sing your favourite song in your head. That's what I do.
When I get nervous I need the loo, so water is never a good idea for me![]()

Nothing to be worried about. Just make sure that your well prepared and confident for the exam, that way you will know what to expect.

I've left, but I still visit sometimes!
Skim through the exam paper, and do the questions you find easiest first. By the time you've done those you'll be in the right mindset and thinking clearly about the other questions. I always always panic when I open any sort of exam paper because the first question always looks like a foreign language and I start freaking out. But I just read through it slowly and realise that I do know how to answer it!
Revising A LOT calmed me down when I did my Module 5 in Maths, I was still nervous but it was just nerves about the actual exam, rather than the fact that I hadn't revised as much as I could have (something I did during my Module 3). Some of the questions were challenging but I ended up with an A in the end so I was quite proud of myself!![]()
Before Exam : Do lots of revisions , prepare for your exam
During exam : Take deep breathe, drink some water. And tell yourself, Math is so easy. Give yourself some confidence.
Everything will be ok![]()
