Luckily my resource allows me computer access (and extended time) for exams - the teacher wouldn't be able to read any essays or a lot of writing in a exam if not (my handwriting is baaaaad!)

Mine usually bad but during that exam I took time to write decently. However, at the 5 minute warning, I was on a really good point and I was struggling to finish so I threw neatness out the window and hurried it up. I got it done.

Yeah, for one of my midterms the other week, I had to write about 4-5 pages (typed). Fortunately I get extra time (1.5 times normal) and computer access, too.
I only used a little more than the regular amount of time, though, cause I was so tired from all my other exams that I quit early.
I figure the professor has _got_ to appreciate what I did for him, though. After grading 30 other handwritten exam papers he's going to be real happy when he gets my nice, double-spaced Times New Roman printout  |

It's interesting how a few of us have real problems with exams (meltdowns, etc) and many others hardly have a problem.
I'm one of the latter. The last round of exams for me were actually the best time of my school year. Normally echoey hall filled with sound-deadening bodies and everyone's silent. I really like exams 
I think my productivity is inversely proportional to the sound level in the space I'm working in. |

My grades came in the mail yesterday. I got one A and three B's. I'm no straight A student but I'm proud. 
As for the exams, I passed all of them, all but one with flying colors. My English exam (the one where I had to write) was about average, but I'm not all that great with essays.

Well done Social_Fantom!
I took 2 Psychology exams today, I am worried stiff about the results to be honest.

Just hope that I dated the right girl...
If I did no good in the Physics exam, I will have to date yet another girl.

Agreed
I love having extended time, because although I usually don't use it all, it such a RELIEF that I don't have to fret the whole time about whether I'll finish it or not

I barely survive until July How the heck do you make it until AUGUST 
I was in a panic like state for most of the days before I got my marks last year. I though I was going to fail math and be kicked out of my writing program, which was the cause of my worries. Luckily I got a 78%, but I really freaked out before then
I have a feeling I'm going to feel the same way for Science...*swears a bunch*

I get nervous around exam time cause I'm worried I'll mess up and fail. (ok I've only failed one exam so far). Do you know of any stratagies that you use to cope? By the way, good luck to everyone who is sitting exams around the world.

Breathing helps. Also, if you're really worrying, take five minutes and just stop doing the exam. 5 minutes gone is made up by the better answers you'll get in the rest of the time allowed
Also, see if they'll let you bring in a stress toy of some sort. Squeeze it when you're freaking out (make sure it's durable - the dollar store ones die easily)
