No matter how much I study and do practice problems, I still feel extremely stressed out and nervous before taking a test. I feel like EVERYTHING is on the line and that if I don't get a high grade on this test, I'll be a total failure.
About a year I used to smoke a bit of cigarettes, and that was a time period when my test scores were at their highest. I would have a smoke right before an exam, and walk in totally relaxed, confident, and a little apathetic towards the results. I'm just feeling good and that's all that matters. I would easily get A's and B's with that sort of mentality.
But now its really hard to just let go and not worry about the outcome. Anybody have any helpful advice on how to overcome this worry?
