2. Take a walk
Get some oxygen into your brain and release stress. This not only calms you down, but it also energizes you.
Plan a 20 minute route around the test center before exam day.
Depending on your personality, or how you feel that day, you can listen to music or just enjoy the city sounds.
3. Practice exam questions
Ask a friend to meet you at the center, or ask another candidate to practice with you.
The point of this activity is to release stress and build confidence.
So, while you are providing your answers, laugh! Make jokes! Take the anxiety out of the situation.
Control your fear by overcoming it.
4. Listen to a power song
Listen to a song right before your interview that really gets you energized and feeling confident, ready to take on the world.
For me, depending on my mood, I would choose Led Zeppelin, a House music track from Mark Farina, or an old Punk rock song from Sublime.
