How does a regular person deal, in terms of a test?
Study and prepare the best I can. Put the work in.
Eat well, sleep well (if I can) and do something relaxing before test day.
Figure that I'm prepared and that I'll do the best that I can, and leave the rest up to fate.
If I don't do as well as I wanted, and I was prepared, then I chalk it up to it just being 'one of those things that happens'.
But usually, if I'm well prepared, I do well.
But no test... no test... touches my identity. That's sacrosanct... who I am isn't based on test results.
I think that's an important concept to relieve the stress of tests. Tests do not define me, though they may suggest whether this subject is a good one for me, whether I've been lazy or not, whether I understand the material or even care to understand, etc.
Where do you get your identity from?
