yea - yea. been there done that. \n\nin school my course work was c or less - my related labs were A's. Just could not take tests - the slightest distraction would throw me off. \n\ntry this: visit the classroom beofre the test to get used to the room - close your eyes and imagine your self taking the test and doing weell - think about how you feeel - think possitive thoughts. \n\nduring the test if you stress out - close you eyes and think of my massaging your breasts - just kidding ( jsut wanted to add some humor it helps ) \n\nCLose your eyes and think of white - like a white wall gently rub your eyes while closed to eliminate the stress. \n\nor alt. think about a waterfall - washign away the stress. \n\ngood luck - \nlet me know how your next test goes. I"M WILLING TO WAGER THAT YOU'LL DO GREAT \n\n(Stop a think about the email you will send to me and how excited you are feeling about passing your next test)

Well since your too young to smoke draw (kidding! I'm not condoning that sort of thing, swear down) just "step back", take a deep breath and remind yourself that there are re-sits etc and no-one will die if you wrote "I am Spider-man" in answer to every question and you'll find you instantly feel better. \n\nDon't forget that everyone always does better that they expected so you'll be fine and even if you did badly it doesn't really matter.\n\nIt sounds daft but counting to 10 can actually help as it gives you time to calm down.\n\nWhen you are working at home go and make a cuppa when you get overwrought, this will help no end.\n\nGOOD LUCK (you won't need it I'm sure!)

Don't get nervous!  Just focus and take deep breaths.  Try to visualize your notes or the material that you studied.  Also, don't get hung up on one question and waste the whole time.  If you aren't sure of a question, put a little dot next to it and go back.  In fact, as soon as you get the exam you should go through and answer all the questions that you are absolutely certain of.  Then go back and tackle the harder ones.  You should also eat a good breakfast or lunch so that your brain can focus on the exam material instead of on how hungry you are (but don't eat or drink too much right before for abvious reasons!).  Hope this helps you!

If you are well prepared for the exam you shouldn't worry.  It makes me a lot more anxious about something if I am not sure whether I am ready to do a good job.  When you prepare well, you won't have to depend on "luck" to pass the exam.  If you think that you are truly ready to pass, you'll be able to tell yourself, "Who deserves to pass this exam more than me?"  Remember, people do actually pass it.

Hey, when I am relaxed and not worried about a test, I do much better on it. When I am freaking out, I generally do worse.

since you wasted your time when it was available(you should not scold yourself or feel guilty about it its in human nature we waste what is available and crave for what is not and as the proverb says we will never know the worth of water till the well is dry )you have now 2 options available before you either you may leave everything cry and get nervous and take drastic steps such as suicide or you may just calm down forget what has happened and think with a cool mind that what can be done now--first of all relax and try to forget everything for you have to make a fresh beginning then make a time table for yourself .look at the previous years question papers and try to figure out what portion of the syllabus is given more weightage for finding this you may take the help of your teachers or friends ,this is important since you don't have the time and you can't finish the whole course in that less time you have to zero in on the important parts of the course and leave the rest.And one thign you have to make sure is that since you  are not studying the whole syllabus ,whatever you study  ,study nicely so that you can answer any question on that topic .after having figured out  what to study and what not to study ,make a time table for yourelf for the daily tasks that you  haveto carry out and make your goals short eg. complete chapter 2 on monday and 3 on tuesday likewise ,don't be too strict on yourself and follow rigorously what you have planned.

Dont be too hard on yourself. I've gone through this problem myself. Everytime it's exam time, I get really stressed out and think I wont do well.\nI know it's difficult to stop worrying about it especially when people have alot of expectations from you. Have a little faith in yourself and in God (if you believe in Him). Maybe your friends are going through the same thing. Talking to them could help. Or talk to your parents about how you are feeling. Take a break for a few hours and listen to some music or watch a movie to get your mind of things for a while.\nTry to get a good sleep. If you have been studying the whole year, then you are probably well prepared. Keep your options open, in case you dont get through. There's always a second time. But dont worry.\nYou have been working for it, so hopefully you will get through!\nBest of luck!

I say, don't freak out on tests, get to know your professors well, see a tutor (they're not just for saving you from failing, a study group might also help if you think there are others in your position).\n\nAlso don't feel bad about getting Bs.  (If you haven't yet you could take more exploratory classes and see if there is just something else you are better at).

Try some yoga or just breathe. Take it slow and start a study regime. Do things at a specific time and don't go off it. Feel confident that you know the info. . Whenever you don't know an answer go with your gut feeling. Take deep breathes whenever you feel like you're going to fail.\nGood luck and just breathe.

Unfortunately, it's hard to get un-nervous.  My best advice is to tell yourself when you get in there that you have plenty of time to take the test.  Relax, close your eyes and breathe deep when you feel yourself start to tense up.  And put yourself in the best possible position by preparing for the exam as well as possible.  \n\nMaybe use the point of view not that you are being tested, but that this exam is a chance for you to show what you know.

I feel the same way, feeling it hard to move my eyes from the screen. What I do is to set an alarm clock beside my computer, reminding me of having a rest every half an hour or so.\n\nTo me studying and going to Yahoo Answers are not enemies to each other. I can use Yahoo Answers as a kind of reward for studying for a period of time.\n\nGood luck to your exam!

I 'hear' you!  'Been there, done that.' Feeling like you're so far behind, that 'what's the use of trying?'\nIf it's not a physical or emotional problem, one that a Dr. should address, then you must 'own' the problem and not allow your emotions to 'own' you. We all have feelings, but it's all about how we react to them that really matters.\n\nI remember how I felt; the same way you feel, but I decided to try something different...like making my study time a priority. I found that I tested much better, and felt much more confident when I was well-prepared. \n \nSounds simple; it's not. But, it's worth a shot..."Nothing ventured, nothing gained."\nI wish you all the best.
