Try some free writing to loosen up. If you have several essay questions to answer, divide the time equally among the number of questions. For example, if you must answer four questions in two hours, limit yourself to thirty minutes per question. With your instructor's permission, take a short break to stretch, walk anything to keep the blood circulating to your brain, where you need it. Allow yourself time at the end to double check your answers.
Stress is a natural part of going to college, of studying, of taking exams, of writing papers.
