    Go into the exam with a positive attitude. Don’t focus on what you don’t know and how you’re going to bomb the test. Instead, believe that you can do well, otherwise you won’t focus on the exam. You might even want to say to yourself, “I can do this.”

    1. Don't focus on what you do not know. Go into the exam with a positive attitude but believe that you can do well. 'I can do this.'
    2. Don't talk to your classmates about the exam before.
    3. Do not focus on what the other students are doing.
    4. Wear clothing that is suitable i.e clothes you can unzip when it's hot
    5. Be in a comfortable position i.e not hunched up
    6. Walk to the bathroom even if you do not have to go. Walking will help you. Don't hold it in if you have to really go
    7. Breathe Deeply. Focus on your breathing.
    8. Look at the questions and focus on how you are going to tackle the questions
    9. Take a watch with you as the exam hall may not have a clock
    10. Focus on a pleasurable location
    11. Yawn - Helps regulate brain temperature
    12. Look at the exam in perspective. This exam does not define you!
    *Own Advice*
    1. If possible, try to space out your revision over a good amount of time. Leave a month or more to delve into all of the topics for big tests! It will be worth it in the end. This way you would also be less anxious as you know that you have covered all of the content!
    2. Go out after the exam even if it for a small snack. Praise yourself and know that everything will be okay regardless of how the exam will go!

    Last week I had a programming exam, and it was my first exam after a long time studying in front of the PC. I was nervous and even though I thought I could go through this, I couldn't make one just because I wasn't thinking well, because of my nervousness. When I got home, I decided to redo that question, and guess what, I managed to do it in less than five minutes. I started to get frustrated, but as I would say: Frustration is the thrill of learning!
    After that episode, I discovered that I'd need to learn how to manage my anxiety during the test, because I've had the knowledge to do that one, but nervousness ruined everything. Thanks for the tips, and after my second exam, I'm gonna try to report here if anything has changed.

    I have dyslexia and I'm finishing mechanical engineering, when I get too anxious I switch the numbers (and I almost always get too anxious) so I fail some classes even though I know how to do what I'm supposed to do. But the calculator says 284, I write 248 and don't even notice and that leads to a whole wrong answer because of a wrong number

    I only have this problem in maths. though i am very good at it, but, as soon as i see a question for which i cant think of a solution, i panic as hell. because of this, i start misreading other questions. sometimes i consider diameter to be the radius. sometimes meters to centimeters. this hinders my performance seriously.

      Hope it goes well. Think about the moment, not the future. In other words, stay focused on what you can control and rely on all the time you’ve spent preparing for the exam.

      Look up mindfulness. Also, consider getting professional help. A professional will have more ideas to help reduce liability.

    Hi sir I am really so bad at Maths and most of the subject so I get super nervous whenever I am in exam I just always think that I can't do it even if I try focusing something good and still mess it up so I watched you video I just looked up everything I felt a bit good but I'm still learning wish me luck I hope I get very good marks can make my parents happy I am going to be happy but I try so hard to learn but still I am getting bad marks and my parents I'm not even having hope for me so I am super nervous and they are telling that i am dumb. I want you to give me some tips for making sure that I will do good in this exam. Please
