Low dose propranolol: Ask your doctor if he could prescribe low dose Inderal (propranolol) 10-20mg to be taken an hour or so before your exams only to help you with performance anxiety. This medicine affects the autonomic nervous system. He has to rule out any problems that would be a contraindication.

Some suggestions : 1. Attend all classes. 2. Read material before class. 3. You recall info best when your emotional state at test matches your state when studying. Thus, don't study on your couch in a relaxed state if you are anxious during the test. Study in your classroom or library. 4. Have friends make up practice questions & take this practice test in your classroom. 5. Start studying 1 week before the test.
