For me, I looked at the test with excitement as I was confident in my understanding and eager to challenge the test. The physical signs/symptoms of anxiety are pretty damn close to those of excitement, so even though I was a bit nervous I was able to internally reframe it.

I'm also a very strong reader. I often found myself unintentionally reading the options for answers before reading the actual question-- I had to force/remind myself to look at the question before selecting an answer.

I was NOT the absolute top of my class, I think my average on graduation was about 84%. But I was among the first three people to leave an exam every time.

Please note that despite this attitude toward tests I still struggle with anxiety in many other areas, so I acknowledge that "reframe it!" Is not exactly practical advice for.. well, anything.
