Also after the exam run away immediately. Don't stay around for all the shitty discussion about answers and what not. Go home and just keep your mind on track with the next exam. This is particularly true for exam 1 and 2 of maths exams imo.
Definitely agreed. It  sucks even more if someone asks you what did you get for this question??? And you get different answers....
Just bail!

XD Dont do that either!! After methods exam 1 im no going to touch atarnotes until at least after my chemistry exam, unless i desperately need help with something.
Seriously, dont stress yourself out over something you can no longer control. Just make sure you do better or study harder for your following exams if you felt you didnt do your best!

So true. Also, I recommend not looking up the suggested solutions. I did that for my bio midyear, and they stressed me out so much, couldn't sleep for a month.

Prior to the exam I ensure that I eat a good breakfast of almonds and raw spinach to ensure maximum concentration during the exam. Then, I ensure that I meditate for half an hour to become calm and focused. After this, I rub a mixture of lime juice, olive oil and the ground leaves of a West Saharan mink tree on my genitals until they become numb. This helps to ensure maximum energy flow to the brain and a feeling of being completely powerful and content.

I then walk to school, fin a quite place and enter a deep meditative state whereby I allow my spirit to travel to the exam room and complete the exam before anyone has entered the room. This usually takes 3-4 minutes, after which time I walk calmly to the examination room, sit before my paper and stare into the depths of the examiner's soul, willing them to give in to the awesome power of Satan.

The exam finishes and I transform into a flying lizard to complete my journey home.

I will try to avoid other people.

I'll just spend some quality time with my friends who are younger or in uni ;D
just avoid year 12 people! :P

This works really well, actually.
It's not particularly good to shut yourself off from everyone, so just spend time with family or friends who don't have exams.

I always believe that studying the day of the exam causes more problems than it solves.
For me it makes me think, "Oh no is that really right?" "I think I have missed something."
If you believe that you need to study on the day make sure you speak to a teacher since they have been there and done it before and will make it stress free hopefully.
Good luck all :).

That's why I like exams in the morning, you just wake up and go, having exams in the afternoon makes it awkward because you don't know what to do in the morning!
