Consider the below tips to help beat exam stress and anxiety;

  • Treat yourself -  Continue to focus on your studies but treat yourself to some downtime with friends and family -  schedule it in and make sure to find some balance while you study.
  • Think Positive  - Use your exam as an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge, remain confident in your abilities and remember that you have survived exams before and you will get through these ones too.
  • Get outdoors -  One of the best ways to manage stress and anxiety is exercise, 15 minutes can get your heart rate up, leaving you feeling more alert, energised and most importantly less stressed, let endorphins be your friend.
  • Breathe - Deep breathing is a simple and extremely effective way to help you feel calm and manage stress and anxiety. Focusing on something as simple as breathing helps to quieten those racing thoughts by acting as a temporary soothing distraction.
  • Talk it Out - Consider talking to someone about how you are feeling, simply talking about your situation can already begin to take some pressure off and your support person may help with additional strategies to reduce stress.
