Maybe you could try having a talk with yourself about what do you really fear about taking this test. Is it a fear of failure or status or whatever. what effects are going to happen if you fail or if you pass.
For some it is more a Stage Fright than doing the actual test taking.
You have to realize that taking the test and passing is for your benefit not for anyone else. The person administering the test probably couldn't pass it either.
I would say that you just have no training to fall back on in regards to test taking. You just don't know how to handle what is going on. Which is more than just taking the test.
Starting from the time you walk in the door your attitude (if you really want to pass) should be something like attending a Japanese Tea Ceremony. This is vey efficient, it creates no stress and you only focus on gathering the test and completing it to the best of your ability. Nothing else matters. You do this with complete respect for everyone there helping you (you believe that everyone there is helping you).
You mentally bow and say "thank you" when you start and when you depart.
There is no wasting any time looking around or making any assumptions about the people or place involved. Say "thank you" to the test for giving you this opportunity.
When you are finished, complete as instructed and tell the person you hand your test to "Thank you". Go on about your business or wait for the results if you can.
What this does for you is to give you the right attitude for taking a test. It shows respect for yourself and everyone involved in your test taking. It saves alot of energy and directs it to passing the exam. If you do not wish to do this then why take the test?
Wishing you success.
