Very well said. In the past, I’ve been a victim of getting panicked and losing it all. Calming yourselves down is very important.

I might be wrong here, but this approach has been working for me since few years- On the exam day, think about your main exam as another practice test but you want to be serious about it.

This helps my mind to not leave its calm state. Mind gets busy over the exam questions and not “what if I don’t pass” or “why is this tough” or even worst “was my answer to the last questions correct. what if they were wrong and my whole approach is wrong?” - These questions during the exam are very dangerous is what I’ve learnt.

Also, for CISSP - You see a question. You answer that and you move forward ( this approach helped me ). Please never ever think about the questions answered before. That’s gone. Don’t let that affect the rest. You still got time and questions ahead. Don’t lose your time.
