Must sit in a way as to harness the positive chi from the north, whilst channeling the negative chi towards that fucken nerd <name> tryhard fucker that studies 12 hrs / day but still cant beat you.

i have to have my ring a friend gave me and a stuffed toy cat called prudence at all my exams.

oh and my watch my sister bought me. more for luck, since it's impossible to tell the time off it quickly.

I wear all my four-leaf clover jewellery, a necklace a teacher gave me and I take a finger puppet "Scratt" to all my exams.

I also have a bizarre ritual of eating a hand of bananas before each of my exams.:D

He's an evil, rubber finger puppet monster- big arms, teeth which I like to colour in when I'm hideously bored, has spikes all over.

Quite an odd looking creature. Keeps me amused though.

^HAhahah :) Something that can distract you during the more tedious moments of exams...

My ritual is - of the 12 pens I bring into the exam, I write my student number out ont he little card they give us once with each pen, to make sure that they all work and to get the ink flowing. Saves valuable seconds!

I've become a sudden Monty Python fan, I watched "Life of Brian" and the "Holy Grail" during the days between the English Papers and it helped alot! :p

That is the BEST feeling!!! I chuck 'em all in the bin as I walk out of the hall. SO *liberating*!!

I did keep my english essays though.. I'd feel bad throwing them out.

i pray intensely before the exam...during the reading time...and during the exam...and after of course.
it calms me so much and i find it so much easier to write and think.
way liberating.
also a huge reassurance of placing all your stress on god.
thats my biggest ritual.

i do wear glasses in each exam...different ones for different exams...each glasses relating to the subject of the exam...i do this subliminally of course.

good luck to all.
