Breathe deeply and collect yourself. Have a nice warm bath and a glass of water. Good luck!

Don't really have any advice although reading a good book often helps more to relax than watching TV and stuff.
But good luck with the test! ---

Short of medicine... not much. As corny as it sounds the only (other) effective way to relax... is to just relax. Problem is not many people can do it, and it takes experience. I certainly didn't manage to do it often enough at that age, but nowadays it's easy. Think about what exactly makes you nervous... that's the WORST thing that could happen... accept the consequences... let it go... then focus on the positive sides of whatever it is you have to do... how things could turn out good... and just relax. Whatever will be will be, if you are prepared you'll make it, if you aren't... stressing about it won't help.

Some potassium (bananas etc.) is always good, or if you are so inclined a little *cough* release is always helpful too.

Warm banana milkshake and a hand shake ?

Intercourse is proven to aid relaxation. though you might be underage for that sort of thing, if it's high school you're going for, so what about hand to gland combat instead?

Best advise I ever got was to focus your mind on what you are good at, so for example if you are particularly good with computers focus on the achievements and qualifications you have within the field - maybe completing big projects, solving difficult problems, even something as small as finally figuring out how something works or having x number of edits on Wikipedia.
Advise from going to plenty of interviews, you are going there to be assessed to see if you are good enough for them, but also keep in mind that they have to be good enough for you, go there with the mindset that they are testing you and you are testing them - if you go through the test and find it is poorly written or is too easy then perhaps that isn't the high school for you.

Once a young boy in a fishing village was an apprentice baiter. He worked very hard every day at baiting. Then one day his father said, "Son, you are ready to become the master baiter." The moral of the story is that the natural chemicals that your body makes are good mmkay? Also distance running is good too.

Edited by: Micheal Dietrich on 05/05/2008 21:05:52 Doing menial tasks while clearing your mind helps. When I want to relax I go and brush my horses. I've found a few times that I end up brushing the same one for hours on out (and they loooooove it).
Another thing I do (given where I live) is I go and sit on my little makeshift deck behind my house. It overlooks the valley which gives me a tremendous view. And I sit there and listen to nature around me as I feel the breeze come up the hill. I put the entire world on hold until I feel good again. Just forget about it all and enjoy the very moment.

As already said, a good orgasm can pour a lot of helpful chemicals into your bloodstream. And as pointed out as well, don't underestimate the effect of breathing properly, slowly and deeply.
We may not realize it, but when we are stressed we start to take short superficial breaths, tensing our muscles and pouring adrenaline into our bloodstream. While these physical reactions to perceived danger were quite helpful back in the day when we had to be ready to react quickly to an incoming beast or another human with less than honorable intentions, evolution has not caught up yet to the fact that our perceived dangers nowadays are of a different nature.
I suggest you google something about breathing exercises / meditation. If done properly it will create physical changes in your body that can effectively help you relax and put your mind off worries.

stop whining about it and go up, if you done your work as you should you will get in, if you haven't you know it and if you fail well you should have expected it and deserved it.
so don't worry you get what you deserve ^^ I declare war on stupidity |

same concept as combat in eve, get it in your head that ther eis a good chance you are going to loose but still giv eit all you got, makes you less nervous and more clear headed

I play Sudoku puzzles before going to bed, if you really want to relax get a massage, try to meditate. Look up some meditation excerszes and if you feel stressed during the test take a moment to calm down using them.
It's better to take 5 minutes to relax then to stress out and drive yourself nuts during the test.

it is head creating drama thus
1) breath evenly through both nostrils that you do by simply letting the awareness rest on the side that is closed down may take some time
dont force anything tho as it will most likely damage the nervous system and do more bad then good
2) emotions are just energy and energy is neutral. it is the mind which gives a positive or negative spin on the neutral energy through various storylines. so what to do? instead of fighting with it in the mind and thus fueling the whole process take away the naming of the emotion or energy - dont name it anything, but instead feel it, simply feeeeeeel. there is always a doorway through to silence and higher awareness on the other side. rest in that space.
3) focus youre awarenes on the spiritual heart location.
you are not your stories... they are just stories stop giving them any fuel by thinking - simply feel and witness doesnt mean one becomes a robot at all... total opposite is the case it gives one the abillitie to live more in the present moment = less mind drama/stress = more awareness the mind is always either jumping from past to future or future to past so simply stop fueling this process ... mind is ongoing process not a thing mind is just stories S T O R I E S
you are not your mind or storylines simple as that

oh no no no this is opposite from weed - it is not about relaxing and getting slow, real slooow and drifting of into some fantasy land it is about attentively relaxing and releasing that which keeps you stressed once and for all instead of further supressing it
altho very simple it has great great power and intelligence behind it carefull judging

its just some test, fuk it!
my advice may be bad, but i haven't cared much about school since 4th/5th grade
some nice chill music generally helps to to relax a bit Incubus - Aqueous Transmission is one i would recommend. (oddly enough just happens to be playing now )

Now imagine wrapping your fingers around his neck and squeezing, until you feel the gristly pop of his windpipe. It feels like breaking a christmas cracker. Imagine the life draining from his eyes, and his family weeping over his casket at his funeral.

I was not disappointed.
srsly, tho.. wanna relax? depends on your reaction to the forums. maybe you shouldn't be here. don't read the igs

Test to get into high school? Sounds like a rather deciding test: Either you get into highschool or you... well, pick up trash on the side of the road for the rest of your life... Tbh, dont take it seriously...
Either that or go listen to some nice trance music, as suggested above. di.fm is pretty nice for that imo.
There is always some good pvp on eve, that might help you out (give you something else to think about: cant really be distracted while pvping)
Or... just do something. I used to find that shuffling a deck of cards was something i could sit there and do for hours, just pondering the reasons of the univserse: Gives your hands something to do, and you are thinking enough about the cards to not be worrying about what is going to happen later. Or maybe find a good comic strip online and read through it... A good book perhaps?
A combination of the above? listen to some trance while reading a book online shuffling cards to give your hands something do to
