Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I can understand exams do create a lot of anxiety and very negative thought outcomes. But in such situation why don’t you try to make a mental map of all that you have covered and be confident about what you’ve studied. Practice deep breathing and do take a break before exam to freshen up your mind. You can practice to meditate and eliminate negative thoughts for 5 minutes in a Day.
