my pre-exam routine & necessities:
a good night's sleep, cause it's important to wake up well-rested
a full body exercise routine to get pre-exam jitters out of the way
good fucking food/heavy breakfast. with rice and meat (carbs and protein) + dark chocolate for dessert (boosts... something idk it just helps)
a can of redbull, or any caffeine you prefer. to stay awake and get the "good" jitters back, i.e. getting pumped up, excitement instead of anxiety.
flashcards and notes, not to look though. it's just nice to know they're there if you need them.
an everything shower the night before + makeup before going to school. i can't both be ugly AND stupid. so i'm going to be smart AND pretty :)
the same playlist i listened to while studying, listening to it again on the commute to school.
the same snacks i ate while studying. bonus, you can offer them to your classmates as a conversation starter for those who have difficulty being in social situations.
the basic school stuff, ID, exam permit, calculator, & stationary, i.e. ballpen, no. 2 pencil, eraser, blank scratch paper.
A JACKET IF THE EXAM ROOM IS COLD. HOLY SHIT. DO NOT FORGET A JACKET cause sometimes you get unlucky and get assigned a seat right next to the air conditioner, happened to me wayy too many times and i remember my hands shaking from how cold it was.
cash, and a plan to eat out. whether it be street foods, mcdonald's, jollibee,, or whatever. a tiny "treat yourself" for doing your best, maybe plan it out w/ friends or classmates so you can discuss the exam over food if that's your thing.
similarly, something to do after the exam. something fun. something to look forward to. reading, writing, drawing, going out, drinking (responsibly!), playing games, whatever i didn't have time to do before, but now can because the exams are over.
manifestations, prayers, or whatever you prefer - "i will have a clear mind. i will think logically and carefully. i will finish on time. every answer is calculated. any guess made, if ever, is based to the best of my abilities, wisdom, knowledge, intuition, and the grace of the universe to grant me all the luck i need."
