Man I hate Exams.

I have a big exam on in about an hour and a half. The butterflies in the stomach have started... and when I get nervous (before sports, public speaking or anything) I cant keep still.... I just gotta move.

Just not knowing what is in there kills me...

Any pre-exams calm downs (except for a stiff drink)

    im in the middle of exams right now, too. I have 2 tomorrow. To be honest I don't usually get super nervous, but if I do I usually work out or go for a run or go play basketball or something. It especially feels good after being cooped up studying for so long. I can't wait until this time tomorrow when I am done with finals for the year

    My nerves are primarily concerned with whats in them, and have I covered it. Once I am in them I'm fine. (If I like what I see)

    I'm taking the bar exam in July. I'm taking a whole class to prepare for it now, basically one exam testing 3 years of rules and learning. It's 2.5 days... 7 hours on 2 days and 4 on the third :(

    I feel your pain!

    Theres a fine line between trying to relax to much against getting too hyped up.

    I sat one recently that I knew I was gonna fail (Derivatives and Hedging) but thought 'fuck it Ill give it a crack' then at least Id be better prepared for next time. I went in soooo relaxed and by the time the gates open my brain just couldnt get moving. Of course everything were calculations.

    Regardless of how well I know the content I ALWAYS get nervous...it absolutely kills me. Give me public speaking, bungy jumping, paintball, a night in a gay bar :D over an exam any day. Its sucks when you know the stuff but dont perform well in exams. Ive just gotta live with it.

    Hope you passed too mate
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    you'll be grand. when its just nerves, but you're prepared, then its just part of the process.

    i usually dont talk to anyone during that phase. about an hour before an exam i make a cup of coffee, let it go lukewarm, and then drink it all in pretty much one go. Gets you pretty wired for the exam!!

    I sat the same set of exams twice in the last 10 months and didnt get either :oops: .... when your head isnt in the game it thats all there is to it. When youve done the work though, nerves wont matter a damn overall.
    Goodluck to ya!
