Exam stress... something i havent had the privelege of experiencing, but i always tell people a good way to deal with exam stress is to stop for one moment and think about all the people in the world. The people suffering in deprivation, struggling to get a meal, etc... and think of those who don't have an opportunity to receive an education, and then consider yourself blessed to be taking an exam. In that respect, you will start to see exams as a privelege instead of a burden...
Hope it helps,
Peace.

Thinking of that might of made it more stressful, because now I would be worried about how well I do given I should take full advantage of educational privileges.

I have often found that if you know how to do all the assignments leading up to an exam, and fully understand all the notes from lecture (or able to reproduce the concepts), then you will be fine. It could be different for me though sinceboth of my degrees are in engineering...I don't know what you are studying.
Another thing to remember is that you certainly want to do well, but do not over-emphasize school. What you do in class is only to prove to future employers that you are competent. The most useful things I have learned for my career field has been outside of the classroom. If you remember this, it should alleviate some stress.
Whatever your field of study, I recommend getting some real world experience (even if it has to be voluntary, though paid is ideal). It benefits in 2 ways: 1) Your school work becomes much easier because now you have a practical perception of your assignments instead of purely theoretical; 2) It is what people really want to see on your resume/CV when looking for work...your school curriculum only gets you in the door.
Oh yeah, if I still find myself getting stressed, sometimes I just need to get away from the work and briefly spoil myself. For me, I love sweets and good food. I will leave all of my work, get something good to eat and a good dessert (preferably chocolate)to clear my mind. One last thing, good sex anda good night's sleepalways relieves any kind of stress for me. Hope that helps...

Go for a very long pensive walk- to keep my reasoning capacity functioning while cooling down
Play basketball - to relieve that stress and practice turning anxiety/negative energy into productive results
Hve a long phone chat with an old/good friend - to make me smile and lift my spirits
