I cant advise you on the exams itself (I studied Commerce when I was at college). But I will say that you dont need to get into a panic at all. The results are important in so far as they will help you get job interviews but once you start work they count for nothing. So dont put too much importance on getting a 1.1. An honours (2.1 or even 2.2) is just fine and will serve you well. Getting the 1.1 would be great but it is not the end of the world!

Dont over study by sitting in the library from 8am to 10pm all day, eat well (very important or else you will get run down, spend a bit more money on a proper dinner rather than junk food), get enough sleep, get fresh air and you will have plenty of time to take in all the lecture material for the exams.

Best of luck.
