coping with interfering thoughts
The best approach is
  1. detect negative ideas about yourself and the test situation
  2. reformulate firm beliefs in the form of questions.
By placing question marks you start being more specific and concrete. Starting with vague, general and threatening descriptions, you should reach a more detailed analysis.

Encouraging yourself with vague, general and positive ideas,usually has only a temporary effect. Analyse the problem: what can't you do? What are you afraid of? What disasters do you expect?
