Tips for Reducing Stress Before Exam


HOW TO OVERCOME EXAMINATION ANXIETY
- When the exam finally arrives, it is too late to worry, over whether you have revised enough. On the date of the exam, you should maintain your coolness. Here is some more advice from experts.
- Have a good breakfast. Getting hungry during the middle of an exam can be distracting, especially if your concentration is already warning.
- Check out the details of exams and make sure you know when and where the exam will be!
- Give yourself plenty of time to get there and calm your nerves. Rushing only adds to the feeling of panic.
- Prepare everything the night before, check that you have packed your bag with everything you will need - extra pens, water, tissues and so on. On the morning of the exam, tension can make you forget something important. So relax.
- Talk to the other pupils before taking the exam if it helps to build your confidence, but if it just makes you more nervous, try and find a quiet corner for yourself.
- Go to the toilet before the exam starts.
- Take time to read the instructions and questions carefully. Many students do badly because they give the wrong number of answers or misread the questions.
- Work out how long you will have to answer each question and try to stick to it.
- Keep an eye on the time and follow instructions about how long to spend on different sections.
- Always keep 10-15 minutes for revision, check for obvious mistakes and ensure that you have answered all the questions.
