Do you get nervous about exams? i do but i don't know why because it just is like a test! i think because we are pressured to do good! Do you feel the same way?

Yes, I did feel pressured in school exams-- but that is how things work in the rest of the world.
You're being trained not just in ways to deal with figures and numbers, but with that pressure. After graduation and entering the world of work, there are always deadlings for presentations, papers, other forms of work. In many cases the rules for these later-in-life tests have no score key other than other peoples opinions.
This is one of the measurements of success. Does the pressure push you over, or do you ride the pressure to do even better?
