Just curious,
Aside from the cliche of preparing for the exam(brief look over your notes), what will u guys do before the exam?

some of my friends suggested; hardout memorising,
stress,
listen to music,
tell everyong ur going to fail/its only HSC/theres always tafe n sibt,
start studying,
look at porn,
play mario kart/ds/psp
study for a different exam,
and call school up and chuck a sickie...

Eat. Nothing worse than stomach pain from lack of food during an exam

Cram. If you have a decent summary book or a mind map, just go over it a few times, get a mate to quiz you, eat something substantial, and go over everything in ur plastic pencilcase to make sure you havent forgotten a vital pen or calculator.

Before an exam I usually drink V (which has no more effect on me by the way and I'm too scared to drink two because then I'll need to use the bathroom during my exam), sprout random facts about the subject we're going to seat for to my friends and just cram. Seriously, three hours before an exam is a lot! I usually only have about 30mins.

Honestly...That listening to music, relax stuff...It's crap. You will be nervous before your exam no matter what you do. My advice is to just cram, cram and cram. You never know, you may spot a little bit of information in your cramming that turns out to be valuable. That's how it worked for me anyway. Some of my cramming provided me with some of my best responses!

i suggest do some essay plans right before the exam for all sorts of different questions so you'll be more prepared and stuff.

In my opinion and experience it's best to stay clear of any kind of study MAYBE a quick look at notes but nothing hardcore. If it isn't sorted in your head by that point then it really isn't worth it - yes there is exceptions to this rule.

Other then that a good healthy meal and fluids. I arrived as late as I could (without being late) so I didn't/wouldn't get caught up in the "Oh I'm going to fail, I didn't study, do you know about xyz?" talk. I like to be by myself before an exam or at the very least making small talk and not talking about the exam. That being said I can handle people talking about it.

Tune out listen to music, play a game with your PSP/DS. Take your mind off it all and then prepare yourself the second you walk into the exam room and be in your exam mindset.

Best of luck. :)

nothing. if u havent got the course content downpat even like 10 hours before, no point. ur adreline is probably at a high and ur not going to absorb nething. i just try to relax, go over what i already know and nething the teacher may have said that is helpful, especially for english.

Cram, it works.
But other than that smile and be happy, it not only puts you in a good, clear frame of mind but also everyone around you (unless they think you've studied so much that your not worried then they might stress more).

ugh no way..i always learn things right up to the exam...mostly....like half an hour before i'd just do a quick skim..but mostly just:
=listen to other people tell me they have done nothing (with a stack of handwritten notes in their hands mind you)...
=the smarties of the school telling me they are going to fail...
=yelling at everyone to shut the fuck up..
=touching everyone with my lucky 12th finger RIP (trad since yr 7..hehe)
=drink V (i can't concentrate for long)
