    Music that get's you pumped before an exam ?
    Before an exam I listen to a lot of drum and bass it get's me so excited pumped for the exam. My songs are getting old though so I was wondering if anyone has any other songs they listen to before exams or songs that get you motivated whilst you're revising

    I'm the opposite typically, I just have a cup of coffee, relax, and look over my notes before I go into the exam hall.

    But, if I were to listen to music, I'd probably indulge in some Pablo Nutini, Muse or Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    Cheesy 80s/90s power anthems always get me pumped up. Chesney Hawkes - I am the one and only; Queen - Flash Gordon theme; Bon Jovi - Livin' on a prayer; Survivor - Eye of the tiger. Anything like that really!
