Most students experience some level of anxiety during an exam. However, when it affects your performance, it becomes a problem. To minimize your stress level, consider the following suggestions:
Compare how you did on a similar test in the past. Review your previous tests when studying for the final exam.
Arrive early for tests – good preparation helps you focus on the task at hand.
Be comfortable, but alert. Choose a good spot in the room and make sure you have enough space to work.
Keep a good attitude and remind yourself you are prepared and are going to do well. If you are nervous, take a few deep breaths. Don’t talk to other students about being nervous. Anxiety breeds anxiety.
This will help you avoid careless errors.
Answer questions strategically by answering the easy questions first and then tackling the difficult questions last.
Review to make sure you did not skip any questions or mis-mark an answer. Also review your grammar, spelling, punctuation, decimal points, etc.
