Exams are done simply to assess your preparation. So, relax - it's not the end of the world if you don't do it right. The first issue, and also the most important, is that studying before the exam is essential to give you the confidence that you have prepared yourself properly and that you know the main topics well. On the day of the exam, absolutely avoid stress and last-minute melancholy. The previous night you should get a good 8 hour sleep. So here are the most important steps to be relaxed during exams.
Steps
Step 1. Get organized
Make sure you have everything you need to take the exam: stationery tools, your identification book, watch, etc. Last-minute item searches could cause you to further agitate and panic during the exam, which can be disastrous.
Step 2. Diet
Before taking the exam, eat foods that are energetic and at the same time not too heavy for your stomach: they could make you drowsy in the exam room. Never show up on an empty stomach as you may end up focusing more on your hunger than your paper. Fruits and proteins are a good source of energy. Avoid heavy carbohydrates like rice and potatoes, which could make you sleepy. If possible, bring a bottle of water with you to the classroom to rehydrate.
Step 3. Relax
An hour before the emea, relax !!! Don't stress yourself out by cramming other information into your already overloaded brain. Whatever you have learned, rely on it and try to imagine a calm stream, or take a few deep breaths. You have prepared yourself and now you must be ready to do your best. A fatigued brain will not work well, so you need to enter the classroom with a fresh mind. You have worked hard and no one will be able to take away the hard work you have done. What you give is always returned to you. Remember this law of nature. If you haven't prepared well, accept this fact. It is not possible to show up unprepared, not have anxiety and get good results. Instead of trying to review that last thing you forgot to study, try briefly going through the various topics in your head so that you keep an open and well-organized mind, without putting pressure on yourself trying to learn that last topic. There is a risk that you only remember what you learned just before the exam and panic about the other parts.
Step 4. Plan
Once you have the question sheet in hand, read them all and make a quick sketchy plan of how you will invest your time to do your best. Mark the questions you are most prepared for and answer those first. This way, you will further increase your confidence. Appreciated for remembering solutions and answers; your brain will work better. Never blame yourself if you don't remember or haven't studied something you wanted to learn. Remember that it's too late and you need to focus on the present moment.
Step 5. Double check
It is very, very important to check your answers again at the end. You should spend the last 15 minutes double-checking the assignment. Patiently review each answer and you will be surprised at how many careless mistakes you have made. Make any necessary corrections.
Step 6. Forget
For a long time after finishing the exam, we worry about the results or lose by discussing what our peers have written. Be aware that the time to do something is over when you have given the exam to the examiner. Knowing what your friends have written on the paper will only add more concern. There's even a chance that the friend who told you it didn't go well lied. Consider that everyone tries to do their best during an exam. Either way, you are wasting your time and your peace of mind trying to know what others have done or wasting energy worrying about something that has already passed. Focus on how you will face the next exam or how you will spend your time efficiently.
