Exam Preparation Worksheet: Exam Stress

Exam preparation lesson 21: Handling exam stress · Set 367 · 40 questions

Study tip (Breathe, talk kindly, ask): Eases stress: slow deep breaths, positive self-talk, talking to a parent, a short walk, a steady routine, asking a teacher, sleeping on time. Adds to stress: all-night cramming, skipping meals, comparing marks, bottling it up, endless scrolling, imagining the worst. Positive self-talk is kind and realistic (“One hard question is fine — I will come back to it”); negative self-talk predicts the worst.
