The only thing that really gives me anxiety during writing exams are when the prof stands there and tells me how long I have left! Like in Taxonomy he would say "30 minutes left" and it drove me nuts! Or if people start standing up and leaving it makes me kind of nervous bc I feel like "all these other people are done...why am I still writing?!"

As for math.....I just can't do it. This semester I am taking Experimental Design which is just a bunch of stats and I get sooooo anxious during the lab. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I haven't taken stats in years and he just flies through it like I should remember everything.

I like classes that give other ways to get points rather than just exams. I do kinda freak out during exams. It's like I just forget everything. And I have even had professors tell me that they know I'm smarter than what my exam shows. You would think I would have had this stuff figured out by grad school but NOPE!!
