Depends on how well I've kept up with the coursework. If I'm pretty well prepared, I'll usually just read over some stuff I don't understand and then hope to the heavens the professor is merciful. If I haven't kept up on the corsework...cram and hope higher!

Before taking an exam, I make a comprehensive study guide and stare at it all day hoping I can remember most of the points I put on it. There's lots of nervous eating during my breaks. =PLuckily, I have no more exams to take... I hope.

Well if you're talking about a few days or weeks before an exam: I would revise, use a syllabus or specification to make sure I'm on point. And I always practise the exams. I normally access exam papers which have been done in the past and use them to become familiar with the style in which I would be examined.If you're talking JUST before an exam:Do nothing much. Make a few prayers. Talk to friends if there's a particular topic I'm not too strong on. I would test my mates on some of the key things I think are likely to come up. Talk about some other key easily forgettable stuff. But really, staying calm and not panicking. And even though it may seem a bit weird, but I would be... SMILING. It helps kill the nerves and nerves is something you do NOT want to take with you into an exam.

I try not to think about the exam too much otherwise you panic and lose your concentration skills. Of course you study beforehand but not too much.

The day before I get some coke (the drink not the sniff-sniff) and read everything again and then go to sleep. Rinse and repeat an hour before the exam starts.

One day before usually I go out and party to become calm, but do not party too much or you miss the hour!During the exam day, and tend to sit quiet in a silent place, and listen to my favorite music while relaxing.

First, I freak. After freaking for a couple minutes, I settle down and start studying. Then I stress out because I will most likely be having multiple exams in the following days so I have to study for all of them. Sooner or later, I hit a point where the only thing I can tell myself is "I'm going to go in there and show them what I know, and nothing else."
