My GF is currently having massive panic attacks because of an exam tomorrow. I know she'll do fine if she manages to calm down and get some studying in.
How can I help her calm down? I'm at a loss on what to do...

>if she manages to calm down and get some studying in.
You mean she hasn't started studying?
Share a blunt and fuck her
You can't help her calm down. You can only assure her that what she's feeling is perfectly normal. Accept her for her is the best option to help her.
Stop dating people who don't have it together

She has and is currently studying as well, but the stress is making her think that it's hopeless and makes her studying grind to a halt.

While that would stop the stress, it wont help with the exam...

No stress -> able to study
if she's really having this hard of a time studying due to crippling panic attacks, consider getting your hands on xanax and giving her a threshold dose.
you people are fucking dumb
My girlfriend in college had panic attacks about classes all the fucking time, honestly there's not a ton you can do. Make her walk through her thought process with you. She'll be making leaps somewhere, you need to see those places and point them out to her. Show her other options. -> She's not going to die if she doesn't do well on the exam. One exam probably isn't going to ruin her grade. She can always retake the class. Nobody is going to disown her for doing poorly on this. etc.
A panic attack is basically the brain getting fixated on only the bad options. So find some not bad options for her.

I ended up doing exactly that, got her to explain the material to me in her words. It got her to make the links that weren't that obvious originally.
