It is that time of the year again where Exams start to control people's lives and mostly their grades. For me I have only one exam and yes that is not a lot but it is still an exam which I am very worried about. With exams, comes stress and with stress comes everything you didn't want to act like when having exams but I am going to give you tips about some things you can do to help kick exam stress in the bum!
1. Drink plenty of water
> Drinking water helps keeps your body and brain stay hydrated and helps you concentrate.
2. Eat 3 balanced meals per day
> Eating food gives you energy and gives your brain food for you to then concentrate and keep going for the rest of the day.
> Make sure to have healthy snacks like fruit or oats will help to keep you going till the next meal.
3. Study Breaks
> Make sure to have 10-15 minute study break after 40 minutes of studying. This will give your brain and body time to relax and get ready for the next 30 minute study session.
4. Sleep for at least 7-8 hours
> Sleeping helps recharge your body and brain for the next day and will help you become less tired.
> Sleeping early and waking up early can help you have a full day of revising or working.
5. Don't cram revision in on the day of the exam
> If you do this you are more likely to forget the revision you did on previous days.
> Make sure you make a revision timetable to spread out your revision for your subjects.
> Make sure that the subjects closer to the date have at least 3-4 hours per week and those 2-4 weeks away have less time till closer to the exam date.
6. Do previous/mock exam papers
> This will help you understand what kind of questions will be in the paper you will have.
> To make sure you know how much time you need on each question, do the paper under times conditions to help you plan how much time for each question.
7. Exercise
> Exercising can help keep your body and brain energized, going for a walk or run the day before the exam can help reduce the stress you are feeling.
I hope these tips help you and the exams you take go well. Study hard, get your grades and you will be okay. Good Luck to you all!
