I guess you could call them habits

When I have a big test coming up, I always make sure that I'm wearing the same perfume as I was when I was studying, and if I was chewing gum or sucking on a candy I make sure I have that with me the day of the test. Memory is linked to smell/taste so I try to take advantage of that

Also, I noticed that I *always* wear tanktops to my final exams and Regents. They are given in June so 99% of the time it's hot.

Did you/do you do any of this kind of stuff before tests?

I always cram right before a test.. try to go over everything, if I can.. I always speak out loud to myself so it gets stuck in my brain... I also do the whole repeating thing...so it gets stuck in my head that way too..

I don't wear or have a certain thing with me though....

I used my "lucky" uniform, "lucky" socks, "lucky" shoes, "lucky" stationery... and whatever it is that I think has brought me luck.

Of course, I was only psyching myself up - cos they didn't work.

i dont believe in superstition, apart from when it comes to football. thats the only time i have riturals.

I know where your coming from. But i havent done exams since i left school, and i cant really remember that far back (memory like a siv)

btw cramming in revision the night before is supposed to be really bad. i never ever revised. i always thought that if it didnt stick in class then reading over and over wouldnt help. i did quite well in my exams.
