Hey CC, you were getting a bit out of the point about that constantly reading thing... but I have to agree, reading a lot helps A LOT in your written language (I should know, cause like CC here, I'm always in some great book). But you need to practise reading aloud too (you were sounding like our maltese teacher at that point *Hi Mr. Borg!*)... it really is good advice. If it helps, hold your breath for a few seconds and calm yourself down, that's what I did today before my Italian oral exam. Practice speaking clearly. Speak how you would want any other person you are listening to to speak. Calmly, confidently, fluently.
I have my own tips now. These really have to do with those kinda subjects where you have to study theory like Biology, the written Art exam and in some cases, Physics. MAKE YOUR OWN NOTES. Nothing too formal needed, a few sheets of paper a pen and highlighters (optional for those who like colourful notes, like yours truly). Simply jot down the important stuff in a format you relate to. For example, I sometimes do mine in bullet form, other times, I have arrows joining one phrase to the next. Another tip is music. I love music, it is my way of life, my means of expressing myself. Those who know me are very aware of it. When I study, I listen to music from my headphones. I don't play it too loud. Then, during the exam, I play that song in my head, and whatever I studied while lstening to that song comes to mind.
That's all I really have to say.... so.... caw! (caw- maltese for bye, pronounced like the italian word: ciao)
P.S.: You might be wondering why were suddenly posting about studying, well, we are undergoing the final exams at school and that's almost the most prominent thing at the moment.... Come on CC, only a couple of weeks of exams left, then it's Summer!
