I get nervous sometimes, but most of the time i'm pretty relaxed. It's only exams for courses I'm not doing so well in that I'm nervous.

I love to listen to music really loud to take my mind off the exam right before. Usually have motivational music like We Run This Town and All I Do Is Win XD

Bio. Definitely Bio I will be. I have yet to walk into a bio test where I have not been horrified and after the monster that was test 2 I no longer have any confidence in my bio skills.

Anatomy. Yeah def. If something is worth 60% of your mark you will be nervous.

Other stuff. A bit, but not more than any other test really.

I usually spend a good hour or so before my exam chillin' so I'm calm and can recall all my prior knowledge as opposed to cramming more into my brain and being nervous.
