Freaking out for exam results, tips to calm down

[Balgus]

sooo he's in the UK not the US soo it's perfectly ok to advocate drug use =D

Just go with it, be nervous I think it's fun because you rarely get that excited about anything in life. to be honest i got the confirmation that i got into my university before i got my actual results so i basically knew what i had received before i had to go and collect my results, Good old UCAS website.

Well, I think the best advice I can give would be to listen to this

Everything is fine. The worst that can possibly happen is death, and death is merely total obliteration. That's not bad, that's just neutral, it's nonexistence.

The worst that can possibly happen is neutral/not actually bad: Everything else is better. Life is good. Why stress?

Ever heard of the phrase "worse than death"?

Let me just leave this here

Yeah, I should have said "realistically", instead of "possibly", but then I would be using the word realistically wrong, because being killed by bad exam results isn't realistic. Is there a word I could have used between those two extremes?

Go to cinema, see a film (last year it was Inbetweeners Movie, this year Brave), loiter around the city centre where you live for as long as humanly possible, just keep yourself occupied doing something you KNOW will pass the time.

I'm only getting one of my grades (have got 2 of the grades I need already) but I am absolutely shitting myself.

Go back in time, inhale deeply next to me.
You can share the multi month long disease I had around the time of exams that means I'm gunna get shit grades regardless.

Yeah I'm fucking bricking it. I'd rather not know since I didn't do really well, either good, bad or time to go find a full time job. My History and Geography should be a B/A but I'm hoping I'll get a C/D for my math and just hoping I didn't get a U on my physics.

My college student portal thing is telling me I got 4 A*s.

I don't trust it.

Edit:
UCAS track is up:
The current status of your Application is:

Congratulations! Your place at University of Cambridge (C05) to study Natural Sciences (BCF0) has been confirmed

HOLY SHIT YES!

Over the last few days I have played a lot of WoW to take my mind off of it. Works surprisingly well, I got a great night sleep and woke up to an email telling me I got my place at uni. Going to collect results in a bit and probably end up drinking the day away with friends.

Invent a time machine, go back in time and tell yourself to study? No, wait you said you did poorly in technology... so, your fucked!

Honestly, there isn't anything you can do at this point, so there is no need to worry. It's not as if this is going to control your entire life forever. You'll have plenty of options in what to do with your life either way. (Thank god you don't live in a socialist state where your enter life really is determined in advance).

I have my own method to not freak out to the exams:

I sleep very early a day before my exams and then I wake up very, VERY early to read again my importants notes.
The reason I do that is your brain is still in a state of "sleepiness" and more "clear" than before.
With that, doesn't make you lose focus with your reading like to watch TV, play a videogame, listen to music etc, etc. The only thing you will keep attantion is the book you are reading.
Then of course you go to give the exams like the boss cause you actually remember what you were read when you didn't though of anything else.
Try this trick. Is very helpful

It's kind of a cliche, but I got to go with weed also.
You'll relax, get focussed, and the next day you won't have a hangover.
