Exam stress

A lot of people are having practice exams and assessments at the moment and it can be stressful, the best thing to do is not stress about your exams as you'll find it a lot more difficult to manage if you stress out.

Here is some advice to prepare you for exams and not stress out so much


Think about whether there's any support that might help you


This could be support with a subject you're struggling with. It may feel nerve-wracking asking a teacher or tutor for help, but remember that they will have spoken to lots of students who are feeling the same way. Schools want to help their pupils pass exams and you deserve the help and support you need.


Ask for help from friends

If your friends are studying too, they are likely to understand what you're going through. Knowing that someone else feels the same way can make all the difference. You can talk to each other about exams or take a break from studying by doing something you enjoy.


Make or find a study group

You can work through problems together and help each other with different subjects. This can be a nice way to keep your social life going and boost your mood. It can also help you to see that you are not alone.


Don't over work yourself

During exams you may feel like you need to constantly revise, let me tell you, you doooo not. Revise a bit, take as many breaks as you can and don't over load yourself with information. Just make sure you are still looking after yourself and and not studying or revising all day.


Get good sleep

Yes I know you might not be able to sleep much due to your stress but you need to try and sleep, because if you don't you'll fall asleep during your exam!


Get organised the night before

Get everything you need for your exam ready the night before. You could ask someone you trust to help you make sure that you have everything. If you're going somewhere for your exam, check when and where it's happening. You can plan your journey and give yourself plenty of time to get there.


Try calming techniques

Try not to cram in last-minute revision before your exam. This can be really overwhelming and make you feel like you're unprepared, but you've done everything you can. Instead, try to focus on remaining calm. Breathing exercises and grounding techniques can help you feel calmer before your exam.



If you have a test, exam or assessment soon good luck! I belive you can do it! :)
