Exam anxiety is very common , and the reasons for it may be pressure from parents, our own expectations, any unhealthy previous experience during exams , comparisons with siblings and peers and sometimes due to exam phobia. You need to learn to relax before exams , do deep breathing exercise, study in chuks of 20 to 30 mins,relax for 10mins then restart studying, don't make long study plans like finishing whole course by a day or two, , plan for the next two hrs or so. But if you are having sleep problems, racing heart rate, difficulty in concentration, mood swings , then you may need professional help and mild anti anxiety meds.
All the best
