I think that one of the most important things to remember is to be calm and confident. Try not to think too much about the exam (and stress) too much, and instead focus on preparing for the exams as thoroughly and efficiently as possible. I find that the best way to stay focused and on top of things is to have a schedule. Time management is key- wasting too much time, or stressing out over the amount of studying you have to do (instead of actually studying) is not going to help. Try dividing your studying up between subjects (a certain amount of time, as needed, for each exam). do this every day until the exam. Focus the most on concepts that you are having the most difficulty with. If you feel you need more outside help, you could always get a tutor, or see if your school offers free tutoring. Before you start preparing, you might want to talk to your teachers to see what they plan on testing the class on, and what you can do to improve your grades and/or do well on the exam. Trust me, your teachers will be happy to help you out in any way they can.
If you start studying now, you will not feel the need to cram at the last minute. Study a bit every day, and make sure that you understand key concepts or lessons as you go along. Again, confidence and time management are both very important, and will help ease the exam pressure, or 'test anxiety.' Also, see if your teachers could offer any advice about the exams, and possibly refer you to a tutor or tutoring center. Oh, and while you are taking the exams, it's a good idea to stay calm and focused..sometimes just closing your eyes and breathing deeply for a few seconds makes a big difference. I always tell myself that I know the material well, and have prepared enough to do great on a test. The mental "prep talk" always helps me out. Anyway, good luck with your exams, and enjoy the coming summer!!

best way to get rid of exam pressure is to feel secure in your knowledge and i find the best way to learn quickly without cramming is by focusing on the most important stuff first.. some people try to learn every detail of everything and the truth is that half the time half the material isn't even touched on. also if you can take practice exams that helps A LOT. hope i've helped
