I don't really get into regular use of lucky charms, but this year I am, being a band that has my firm university's name on, and a bracelet my work friends got me when I left after two years to focus on exam season :3 that plus a lot of revision hopefully will work!

Two bracelets and a bamboo watch my grandma gave to me from South Africa and an engraved necklace my mum gave me on my 18th Birthday. I also keep my favorite green pen in my pencil case...

I don't really believe they give any luck whatsoever but I guess it does help me feel more confident and I'd hate for me to not wear them and find an exam really difficult.

Water bottle. I did my physics prelim without water when I was predicted A. I bombed at ended up with an F. Now I sit every exam with a bottle of Highland Spring, sports cap, and label pulled off everywhere but the sticky part.

Also, if my exam is in the afternoon then I'll always get a cheese baguette for an early lunch. Then I need to be in the exam hall about 20 minutes before we sit down. Yesterday I was so pumped that I was there an hour early. xD

I also write with a certain type of pen, have five backup pens, and pee twice.

Rituals are awesome. They work every time.

A dead rat.
I just whack it onto the desk in the middle of my exam, straight As.

Ha. Just kidding. A shamrock badge that was given to me ages ago :smile:

For all my exams I keep a tiny piece of paper with a phone number that my grandad wrote down about 35 years ago :P never met him, he died 13 years before I was born but him and my dad were really close I've heard so much about him so I feel like I know him :smile:

Just helps me to know people are supporting me and also that there are more important things in life than exams so it's not the end of the world if I can't do something :P

I dont think its a lucky charm but Ive been wearing the same watch to every exam since year 10... o.O ... Ive nearly finished uni now lol

And I also still take in my long bendy ruler from then to every exam - not necessarily use it though... a habit I guess...

I always have a bottle of Lucozade either before or during the exam - other than that I just turn up and do it - usually I don't even revise

Revision and prayer to be honest :P But seriously, as long as you put in the necessary work you're normally fine.

Drawing a pentagram on the table / exam sheet. I remember acing a GCSE and someone else had drawn a pentagram on my table, and I attributed my success to that. Hasnt failed me yet.

I had a necklace that I used to wear during exams for good luck, but while I was in the middle of my AS History paper it randomly broke. I felt a bad omen at that point, and low and behold I bombed that exam.

A one ring necklace that I wear under my shirt. Sometimes when a question's killing me I'll find it slipping onto my finger :rolleyes:

I sacrifice a piglet to the Yellow King 8 minutes before midnight the day before the exam. I then smear the blood onto a white tee and wear it in the exam.

seriously though, a lucky penny.
