Hello.
Although it can be hard not to be, the common suggestion is to remain calm. However, it really depends on the individual taking the exam.
I have taken the exam a couple of times now (before the latest update with the incorporation of Windows XP). The testing center I went to was peaceful.
I am currently taking another A+ refresher course at my school. (My school offers them for free to past and current students, so I always try to take them.)
When you arrive, my instructor recommends studying right before the exam. Try to study the things you do not know. Hopefully you can at least put it into your short-term memory (sort of like random access memory) and it will be available for the duration of the exam. If needed, you can try converting it to long-term information after the exam (sort of like writing it to permanent storage).
My instructor also recommends that after you study and are set to take the exam, ask for some scratch paper (assuming you are not offered any). Write down as much information that you can, such as interrupt request numbers and CPU slots/sockets. I am aware that this exam is timed, but you should have enough time to do this. Furthermore, this will make certain parts of the exam easier and quicker.
I bid you good luck.
Thank you for your time. Farewell.

How about them apples? They say they do not fall far from the tree, and that one can spoil the whole bunch. Well I say we may not all be rotten, but we are all spoiled.
