Being well prepared for your exams is the best way to overcome stress and anxiety, and gives you the best chance of getting good grades.
\nRevision tips<\/strong><\/em>
\nMake a realistic revision schedule.<\/strong> Work out how much you have to do and the time you have to do it in, and then break it down into manageable chunks. Aim to do a few hours of revision each day, and mix up your subjects so you do not get bored.
\nFind a revision style that suits you. Studying alone in a quiet room suits some people, but not everyone likes working in silence. Try playing music quietly in the background, or revising with a friend (but do not let them distract you!).
\nCustomize your notes to make them more personal. Experiment with color coding, notes on postcards, diagrams or whatever helps you learn your topic.
\nMake sure you understand everything.<\/strong> If you come across something you do not understand, try to find a new source of information that will help you understand it. Just memorizing it will not help you in your exam. Do not be afraid to ask your teacher or a friend for help if you need it.
\nLook at past exam papers.<\/strong> It means you can familiarise yourself with the layout and type of questions you’ll be asked. Practise completing exam papers in the set time limit to improve your exam technique.
\nTake regular short breaks.<\/strong> Studying for hours and hours will only make you tired and ruin your concentration, which may make you even more anxious.
\nReward yourself. For example, you could take a long bath, listen to music, spend time with friends or watch a good movie once you have finished your revision session.
\nDo something physical. When you’re not revising, use your spare time to get away from your books and do something active, like going for a walk or doing some stretching. Exercise is good for taking your mind off stress and keeping you positive, and it will help you sleep better.
\nAsk for help.<\/strong> If you are feeling stressed, it is important to talk to someone you trust, such as a family member, teacher or a friend. Many people find exams difficult to deal with, so do not be embarrassed to ask for support.
\nHow to handle exam days
\nBe prepared.<\/strong> Start the day with a good breakfast, and give yourself plenty of time to get to the exam hall. Remember to take everything you need, including pencils, pens and a calculator. A bottle of water and some tissues are also useful.
\nTry a breathing exercise if you are feeling overwhelmed. Breathe in through your nose for four counts, hold it for two counts, and breathe out for seven counts. Repeating this can help you feel calm.
\nTake a few minutes to read the instructions and questions.<\/strong> Then you will know exactly what is expected of you. Ask an exam supervisor if anything is unclear \u2013 they are there to help you.
\nPlan how much time you will need for each question.<\/strong> Do not panic if you are stuck on a question, but try to leave yourself enough time at the end to come back to it.
\nOnce the exam is finished, forget about it. Do not spend too much time going over it in your head or comparing answers with your friends. Just focus on the next exam instead.
\nDo not ignore these trips. Let you try at list twice, midterm, and final exams.
