I used to skim over my notes until about 10 minutes before the exam, then I'd just chillax and muck around with friends outside the exam room, just to de-stress.

I always wore this bracelet that my ex-bf gave me as a birthday present, and would take it off while I was writing and hang it on my water bottle.

Heavy heavy music prior to the exam. Preferably the same playlist I was listening to when I was looking over my notes.

And, drink ALOT of water. Really helps me wake up in the morning.
I tried that shit once...but omfg it gives you the worst night of sleep, i drank like 2 litres from 5-8pm and i woke up at like 1 am and 5 am to go pee.

I read somewhere that studying with music unless it is maths is pointless and will work against you.

what i do is i let my dog fuck me.
thats interesting...but i dont think people wanna know about u getting it on with a dog :eek:

I skim through notes, do practices, and then just pray that I will do my best even if I know I will not do well ><"

but when i listen to music before exams ....... the last song i listen to, keeps playing over and over in my head....like today in the physics half yearly, the last song i heard was Guns and Roses - Paradise City and then after the exams, i told my friend who likes Guns and Roses "Man, Axle has a fucking annoying voice" ..... bloody oath ..... never gonna listen to music before the exam.

Fail. Its individual experience. I take alot of shit in with music playing in the background, and begin to associate certain songs with certain subjects. Ie, I might be listening to only DJ Tiesto during Bio study, and that helps me remember shit.

sometimes i talk loudly about how worried i am about a certain topic (which actually isn't in the test) in order to get others to frantically start reading up on something they don't need to.

aren't i just the worst? =D

Hahaha same! and then when i get to school i'm usually the crazy person rewriting her notes a billion times... One of my friends has just begun to realise that i relieve exam stress by annoying the crap out of random people...he made the mistake of sitting next to me while i was a stressed out ball of spastic... and my other friend was laughing her ass off at him because of it... some people actually brave sitting next to me before exams because i randomly blurt out advice and things they should write during the exams... God i'm spastic...

I kidnap someone, preferably close by like next door or something, and sacrifice them by cutting their guts out and eating their insides. Usually it works unless i don't study.
