honestly I know how u feel..
what I do is just work myself into a state where I don’t really give a sh*t
I just treat it like an ordinary test with little importance and I try to do my best
just use your willpower and convince urself your exams don’t matter
that way you’ll care less and be able to focus more on just the questions themselves and not the importance attached to them

You will never get rid of stress and anxiety before an exam, and that is a good thing. Excessive stress, though, is bad. I know it is hard, but focus on the specifics of the test and not on the unknown outcome. It takes practice but the more you focus on the content, the less time you have to worry about the results. Be as prepared as you can be. Also, learn about your teachers testing style. The more you know going in the more comfortable you will be. Having a little stress is good. It keeps you alert and shows that you want to do your best. Your idea about some sort of exercise is a great idea. Good luck. You will get through this.

You could try Valerian - it is a natural herbal remedy from a Herbalist shop for anxiety/stress and nervousness. You could also try meditating for 10 minutes each day for the week prior to exams.
Good luck. UK
