iam quite confident, but have absolutely no idea on a few bits in some topics, no matter how much my teacher explained them and no matter how much i used books and internet. iam sure they are going to come up. apart from the subject matter, iam far more nervous thinking of entering that exam hall and sit there for 2 hours calm. what to do?

Leave the other bits - it is too late to look at them now. Think of them as 'the ones that got away' -this time- if you continue in mathematics you will have other chances to master them. There is no need to feel nervous just because others are, in an exam you can be true to yourself and unleash your potential.

just be as calm as you can, recap on your books in the morning before you go in (some people advise not to do this, but you may see an important calculation method or something that may crop up in the exam!)
make sure you read the question very carefully before answering, it's so easy to read what you want to see and not what is actually there! if you really don't know an answer then move on and answers those that you do.. DO NOT leave early, you have 2 hours - use them. if you finish in good time have a short breather then turn to the front of your paper and read it through, you may notice a few silly mistakes which you could have easily overlooked, you can also have another stab at any you missed first time round. and don't leave any blank either - marking exam papers now is done in a positive manner, ie you are given marks for good, correct, logical answers. if you put a wrong answer you will not lose any marks, you will just not get them for that question - so it's always worth your while putting something, it may just be that one mark which is the difference between a higher and lower grade.
Now get off the net and rest your brain! and good luck x

The most important thing is to stay calm. Take 5 minutes to read the questions and answer the ones you can easily do first, this will build up your confidence. Then tackle the more trickier ones. Make sure you put as many workings down as possible so even if you can’t finish the question or get the answer wrong you’ll get method makes.
Bring a bottle of water and Jelly Babies with you, glucose is the brains energy source of choice and chewing helps you think.
Most importantly don’t discuss your answers with other people after the exam, what’s done is done, it’ll only stress you out. Good Luck.

Well, seems to me that all in all you are pretty well prepared, so just make sure you get a good nights sleep, have a decent breakfast. If poss a bit of a walk to clear your head. I wouldn't fret about the time of the exam - you will be pretty busy with the questions so that will be the last thing on your mind. Good Luck!

look basically relax babe you will do great the following day basically relax and take some deep breaths until eventually now you enter to do your attempt. Now if basically relax and browse by using your revision e book because of the fact in case you start to stress all your complicated artwork would be for no longer something. :) Oh and have faith me Calc is way less stressful because of the fact maximum questions are basically ordinary and there some questions the place they simply attempt you need to use a calc so its no longer complicated!!! :)

Stop now...unwind your not going to take in any more tonight than you already know...and do your best...remember...LOOK AT THE PAPER FIRST...answer the questions you are certain of first, then work through it. You'll be fine...let me know how you do. Once you start and get a few questions under your belt you'll be off. Check through once you have finished.

Stay calm.
Don't study any more, it's too late and you will only confuse your thinking.
Don't stand outside the exam hall with all those losers who keep saying they haven't studied at all and they don't think they can do it, this is so demoralising.

All you can do is do your best. Have a good breakfast and have adequate hours of sleep.
