When you are learning or studying you will go through past exam papers. When u are seating for the exam think of it as you are studying and the exam paper in front of you is just as the ones you studied previously. Put yourself in that mindset, rather than you are seating for an exam and it is final. Try relaxing your mind at least a few hours before the exam as well just to get your mind ready and calm. Try not putting yourself in a position that you feel uncomfortable and pressured.

I overcome my own anxiety over exams by treating myself right. I do 10 min yoga in the mornings, I get plenty of sleep and I take plenty of time out before the exam to study intensely. I've also experienced panic attacks and they are so frightening, aren't they? When I have them now, I repeat to myself (in my head) that it is just a physical reaction to a heavy mental load and I practice breathing slowly by counting out my breath in for 4 seconds and my breath out for 4 seconds. Eating right on exam day and getting solid sleep the night before an exam is a huge help! Hope this helps!
