It's weird, I get more nervous the more prepared I am. Maybe something to do with "I studied so hard for this what if I let myself down in the exam" etc.
Whereas in my law exams I was just happy to finish every question - wasn't nervous at all because I knew I wasn't going to do well =\
Yeah this is the same with me for linear algebra and ESD 2. I studied a lot for linear algebra and when the exam was harder than I expected and I wasn't going to do that well I literally had my own breakdown (well I didn't actually go crazy infront of everyone but in my mind I was saying "OMGOMGOMG"), whereas with ESD 2 it was still a hard exam and just being able to answer every question would be fine for me but I never really was upset after the exam because I knew I would get bad marks for it anyway.
