You go in with a mindset of 'I don't want to do this', not 'What do I need to do?' Stop, calm yourself down, and ask yourself, 'how do I do this? What do I know?' and then your mind'll work. Also helps that, when doing assignments or a test, you do things similarly as when you're in class listening to it."

Peter winked then looked at the parchment, "Further, knowing is only half of it, applying is the other half."
