I always arrange my desk the same way. Unused writing booklets on the right, watch on the table at the back to the right, wallet on the floor to the right, pens and stuff to the left, with the paper over the top. When I finish with a booklet I always put it on the bottom of the pile. Might seem fairly normal, but I always do that.

My essays usually rely on my comfort with the pen - has to be right and I have to be able to write properly.. which is quite normal. So I will just go back to studying haha :sleep:

I get so fucking paranoid when i have two or more consecutive answers the same in my multiple choice
same hey. then do you go back and check them to see if one of those might be wrong?
or if you can't find anything wrong with them you get a little bit worried!

I've used the same pen throughout all my exams, when it runs out i will start another pen.
I also always wear thongs, and take them off in the exam.
also, for breakfast i have 2 coffees, 2 berocca, a centrum tablet, a bowl of nutri-grain with cream on it, and i chew a bit of shewy throughout the exam. so yeah.
frig you must be awake for days!

I read notes before bed then again in the morning and read them til I almost know them by heart. For essays I take the first letter of every theme e.g. 'r' for romance and right it on my hand then rub it off before I go in :)

I always eat a red apple before the exam and use 'reading time' to breath and calm myself.

Does anyone else get stress/nervous stomach pains? I do and my stomach makes embarrassing noises the whole way through, lmao!

I always listen to REALLY violent songs. Dunno why, it just pumps me up.

Oh, and I also wear my dogtags.

I'm normally a coffee drinker. But I can't handle it before exams. I get so jittery and nervous that even the slightest bit of caffeine would have me bouncing of the walls.
