Let’s start with the usual and very generic methods in which you have probably been told to do previously.

First, get plenty of sleep. Do not drink too much water, especially before a multiple choice or written exam. You don’t want to be up and down to the toilet every 10 or 20 minutes – plus some Universities or school will only allow you to visit the toilet once per exam. You should also eat well the night before and try not to eat those things that will upset your stomach, and may cause poor memory. Blueberries are great for memory. You shouldn’t take an exam on a full stomach – it is not fun being bloated whilst sitting trying to stay concentrated and relaxed.

Also eating before an exam can leave you may having a tired look and feeling.

Here is a few of those which you may not have heard of and which you should possibly try.

We fail to exercise our brain cells before doing battle with an important exam. So light brain exercise will be in order. Some visualization training will set a pretty good start before an exam. Just opening and closing your eyes can give you some relief. Fruits and vegetables would be nice to eat before an exam, but do not overdo it because fruit has a lot of water.

Do not forget to bring adequate supplies.

Be on time and wear comfortable clothes – being late to an exam is not acceptable. You have to be ready to take the exam. Arriving at least 15 to 30 minutes to the exam is highly recommended in order to give you time to relax and read notes once over.

Depending on the test, you may want to make sure that you have already purchased practice tests and have gone over that material several times.

It really depends on how badly you want to pass the test in relation to how much work prior you put in, some students choose to use hypnosis and self-hypnosis. Hypnotists use relaxation techniques in order to make sure that a student is totally relaxed. Self-talk and self-hypnosis can work for you as well.

We all operate differently, has anyone else got any tips which are different from ours?
