Are Final Exams very stressful for you?

If you have ever taken a final exam, how stressful if at all, was it for you? I study a little differently, well not from most people or anyhing. But, I'm better at cramming knowledge before the test. One tip I have is that for subjects that require some sort of memorization for formulas, figure, or maybe even simple facts, you should memorize them especially in your mind right before the test. As soon as you get the test, write down the formulas you will need to have memorized instead of waiting until getting to the problem that requires it and maybe forgetting it. Tests aren't that stressful for me, but then again when it's very very important that I get a certain grade I will make sure to study as much as I can before the test. It helps to try and think of a final as just another regular test that you must complete to the best of your abilities either way. So what are your thoughts?

exams can be unnerving, but there are ways to counter that. if your really present in your class room, everyday i dont think you have much to worry about.and a quick revision before you go to sleep everyday doesnt hurt either. just make it a part of your routine, like brushing your teeth before bed just sit down for 10 mins before bed and take it all in.with just very little exrta effort you can get much more than just exceptional marks.even the last day exam preprations bcome alot easier and exams in all become absolutly stress free also you really learn stuff rather than just mug up stuff and forget it all after the exam. you never know when knowledge can come in handy

I don't think that finals are super stressful. Most of the time I do not study at all. I do take notes in classes and that is normally all that is needed for me to do well on a test. My one exception to that statement is science courses. For those courses, I am the same as you. I normally do more of the cramming because I seem to remember more. Experts say that this is not the proper way to study, but it works for me!

Really the final exams are very stressful as we do not have to think anything else except for studies.
Even no care for food ,watching favorite TV shows...nothing at that particular time.
I usually in exam time take acrner seat and prepare for my exams and only get up when my quota of that day is over.

I usually fair out well in the exams buts still if I do last minute study I get panicky and just mess up things. So i make it a habit to study atleast 1 hour everyday so that i don't have much pressure during exam time.

Finals are only stressful for me if I didn't study the material well enough beforehand. I don't like cramming because the information isn't going to stay. I won't learn anything and thus it's a waste of time.
Having multiple finals on upper division math, chem, bio, and phys can be a bit stressful at times. If there is proper time management for studying, then I don't feel stressed.
