[QUOTE="PC Electrics, post: 132135, member: 650"] Like GH, I don't get nervous before exams, so I'm not qualified to advise about how to get over them. I agree with Apache. You should be turning up to the exam hall in good shape. My policy was never to do any revising (known as cramming) the night before. Get to bed in good time, get up refreshed and have a good breakfast. Take with you only what you need. Act cool, be cool. If you cram it adds to the tension. I used to walk round the campus the night before and see people getting all stressed in the library etc. But I think that just leads to increased nerves the next day and stops you sleeping properly the night before. Your brain works best when it is relaxed, well fed and properly hydrated. In the run up: Read a few pages of relevant text books each night. Again, do so in a relaxed atmosphere and if you're tired put the book away. Do as many past questions as you can and refer to relevant texts as you are doing them. As you get nearer to the exam, try to do the questions without reference and in the time alloted (repeat questions you've done previously under this regime). If you've been going to college, study your lecture notes. Relate them to the books. I wasn't in the situation of working when also doing my degree, but in your situation try to relate the texts to your work by looking things up during the day and thinking about related work situations when your doing your reading. Try to make the theory real. [/QUOTE]
