bip, i have felt like this many times when i was in a quiet class, and having to do a test or something important, i would always take a deep breath count to four and exhale and count to three, i noticed it drastically slowed my heart rate down, and made me calmer...you can do it, its mind over matter....have faith, you will be ok...good luck to you

Bip.

you give us so much encouragement. I am sure you will do great. You have helped me a lot with my anxiety, whether you know it or not. You are always giving such good advice!! Just keep your head up and remember it is just a test. This test does not judge you in any way of the type of person you are. It does not judge your skills or your knowledge. It is just a piece of paper. You know you know all of the information. Just relax and think about all of the good things you have done for others, and try and focus on that. Maybe that will help relax you!! Please let us know how you do!!
