Spoken like someone who doesn't take science exams on a curve with a given % of the class failing no matter what.
Now odds are this isn't quite that harsh, just because that sort of schooling is rarer these days in the age of grade inflation, but those were always fun exams.
If you are feeling stressed just take a break, do something else for some time, usually 30 mins was enough for me, and then get back to work.
Oh and make your own flash cards, I'd put about 10-20 questions on a side with the answers on the back, just making them would give you about 1/2 the material, the other 1/2 you get using them a few times.
