Advice for the actual exam day

So I'm slightly curious how others would handle this situation.

Obviously we'd all love to walk into the exam room refreshed and calm, having only arrived at the venue perhaps 20 minutes before reading time starts.

I'd like to get some advice as to what to do if you arrive an hour before reading time starts.
Because I know it's really bad to cram, but within an hour I could go into a stupour and that's not good....
And where do I spend this time? Because I don't want others coming up and saying "did you look at this, this and this?" and then I freak out.

So yeah, any advice would be lovely!
Thanks :)
Hope y'all enjoying ur exams so far haha  :P

This morning it was too cold for anyone to stress for biology.... -.-

You can always go talk to other friends from other year levels?

Personally i just talked about the next year 12 dressup day with one of my mates :P

If being around frantic people would stress you out, stay away from your fellow examinees.
If being around them gets you pumped and ready, hang around with them.

Eat, chew gum - kinda relieves tension on your head/jaw.

Ooo...I like the food one. I've never heard of it before, but I'll give it a try.

Ahaha totally forgot about food.... back in year 10 I remember one of the teachers saying to eat something healthy before the exam to give a -good- sugar boost

Ever since, been eating apples before the exam :P So i guess if you bring alot of food that would keep you occupied for 1 hour? Don't overdo it though :)

Yeah, it'd be pretty bad if I chucked up over my exam paper...and I don't think I'd get any special consideration for that either... :P

If you get to the exam venue too early (and want to be alone), just sit in a corner and listen to your ipod. Either that, or go over a VERY VERY brief summary of the course.
