I just wanted to add that I think Coach Smith stated everything very well.
My words and feelings exactly.  Also don't compare before the exam with
others on how much studying you have done beforehand.  Everyone is different
in background knowledge and ability to retain info.  Trust yourself.  Also
remember to periodically take deep breaths both before hand and during the
exam to help you relax.  Try not to get too uptight and tense - you will
think better and more clearly.

I did drive myself crazy afterwards and compared answers but now I wish I
wouldn't have done that.  I took the exam in 1994.  It is very hard to wait
several months to get the results - try not to ponder on that too much.
After the exam is over worrying and fretting won't make a bit of difference.
It's over and you just will have to wait to find out.  Keep your Cool!!!
