Study Advice: Take Control BACK!

Not in a 'control freak' way, but in a sense that you know what's happening, you're in control of what you're doing, you know how to deal with things and you are on top of stuff. We NEED that feeling. Exams take ALL the control away from us. So we feel like we're at the mercy of the exam. We have NO power, no control, we just have to 'hope for the best'.
