I believe in exam rituals. They can be high-pressure situations, so it’s up to you to do everything in your power to make yourself sane. And there are plenty of tips and tricks designed to help you succeed. I remember someone recommending chewing a certain flavor of gum when you’re learning/studying, and then chewing the same gum at the exam, to help use your senses to jog your memory. I once knew a girl who showed up to the ACT wearing a nice dress, heels, and a string of pearls, to induce girlboss mode I suppose. 

But one of the biggest and most sensible tactics is to sit in the same seat you usually sit in during class. It’s a practical tip, but one that caused one Redditor a whole lot of grief, after an unexpected turn. And in rare form, commenters’ opinions were split on who to blame. Whose side are you on?
