Tips for Coping with Exams
It is normal to feel some stress during exams but with preparation and organisation you will find them easier to manage. Here are some tips to help you cope:
- Prepare a revision timetable – allow yourself enough time to revise but remember to also allow yourself some time for socialising, exercise and rest
- Revise! Compliment your home revision by attending revision lessons and don’t be afraid to ask your teacher if you do not understand something
- Look after yourself - a healthy, balanced diet will give you energy and remember your brain needs water so drink plenty
- Aim to get a good night sleep before your exam and give yourself time to eat breakfast, it will give you energy
- Arrive at your exam room in good time and don’t forget to bring the equipment you need to complete your exam
- At the beginning of the exam take a moment to settle yourself, focus and take some deep breaths before you start working
- If in any doubt speak to a teacher, Exams Office staff or an Invigilator
Revise – Relax - Results
