Do you have any pre-exam rituals/quirks?

Guys, trust me, I'm not trying to troll ..
Masturbation is the best thing to do before an exam. It's harmless and it get's rid of your stresses. If you have a sexual partner, you may choose to not masturbate.

If it's in the morning, like, 9am:
I pull an all-nighter 2 days before and run through all the textbook stuff. Then I sleep and make sure I wake up late afternoon/evening the day before, and run through all the notes, make idea maps and whatnot, and pull an all-nighter (which is really NOT an all-nighter, because I woke up so late) and get a coffee, an egg mac and then cranberry juice for the bus and get there an hour early. All of this because I'm completely messed up when I wake up at 5 (which is when I would have to wake up for a 9 am exam).
If it's later then the same thing happens without the elaborate out-of-sync sleeping patterns, with a lot of chocolate and calling people and feeling relieved when they're freaking out and I'm not, involved

With 4 exams in 3 days I wish I could. But I'd probably end up sleeping for 24 hours straight and missing one of them instead! Have you done this for long? Seems pretty intense I would think =/.

I usually sacrifice a Western student in front of the statue of the man throwing eagles in the air outside KTH. Don't you?

Studying till 10-15 minutes before makes me feel better, even though I know that I will retain none of the information I read during that time -__- Listening to music for the last couple of minutes helps me calm down.
