Yeah, na seriously I don't have any lucky ornaments etc, just crack a can of mother/redbull/monster in the morning and hope for the best.

I try to be really nice to everyone.

If there are donations box, I MUST DONATE before exam.

Oh, I also have to say good luck to like at least 40-50 people.

But I only do it for big exam like HSC (I did it last year =D, it works! LOL)

Oh...I also don't do anything bad.

I don't actually have any superstitions. I just go in and try my best. I don't get rid of nerves because I find that I actually work better with them, not without them. And they make the time go really quickly, which is good so I don't get bored :)

Save a good pair of socks that have NO holes in them (trust me, they're rare)

I walk through the 'entry only' entrance of our school (which means an extra 100m walk)

Walk up the left side set of steps instead of the right side (don't know why tbh)

Definitely give monies to all of the 10 or so hobos near the station

Oh and also follow raniaaa and pray as well :)

Sorta sucks, cause there are all sorts of beggars near Central. So I'm down about $5 before I even get to the exam room. [Although, for Salvos, or any established charity, I've no qualms about putting like $2-5 in].

I'm kinda the opposite... Time goes too fast when I'm nervous and I'm bound to make mistakes so once I'm in there I just calm myself down straight away and I should be fine. I just try to think I'm sitting a trial paper at home - because I feel much better and usually think clearer.

I'll probably play sudoku before I go into MX1. Before 2U, I'll just talk to everyone.

I didn't because I live in a real world and do not believe a mere trinket or other superstitious items would result in an increase in performance and they cannot replace a normal breakfast and therefore I don't need to trick myself with superstitious items.

I hardly think either of these are superstitions but whatever.
I need to listen to some nice, calm music in the morning after breakfast. I refuse to listen to anything with vocals.
I need to play something on piano before I leave home too.
Yeah, I always listen to music after breakfeast, generally classical. It calms me down.

No superstitions, just study.
