- Revising effectively for an exam - If you have revised effectively and fully prepared for an exam you might be able to avoid stress altogether. After all, you knew it was coming, you spent time preparing and now it is here. If you couldn’t have done anything more you have nothing to feel bad about. And your preparation will help you feel confident and successful before you even start the exam!
- Knowing your exam technique - during tests and mock exams ensure you practice exam technique. This means making sure you manage your time (keep an eye on the clock), reading all the information in a question, proofreading your answers to make sure they make sense and answer the question, and ensuring you include formulas and units for calculations. Each subject you complete and exam for will have different requirements. Make sure you know what to expect from your exam.
- Be happy with your best - This is easier said than done however it goes a long way to reducing stress levels. Even now, as an adult, I live by this rule. When I go to a job interview I always try my best and tell myself that if I make a mistake or don’t get the job it doesn’t matter because I tried my best and was true to myself.
