So here are my top tips on how to cope with exam stress (especially if you worry a lot like me :)
- Revise for exams in small bursts of time (20 minutes revision then a 10 minute break doing what you want to do- usually eat or drink something) revising like this will make you feel less overwhelmed by all the revision you have to do and spaces it out.
- Never revise on your bed especially at night because then you are most likely to fall asleep whilst revising. If you have a clean and spaced out area such as a desk to revise it will make it much easier
- After revision or before take a long bath or shower to make you feel much more relaxed and it distracts you from your worries etc.
- Take a quick walk as it clears your mind and it has been scientifically proven that it boosts brain power and memory
- Getting enough sleep (usually around 8-9 hours) is very beneficial as it makes your attention span much longer meaning you feel more focused to revise
- Sometimes you just need to talk to someone, other times you need to shout it from the rooftop or scream from the top of your lungs. Figure out what you’re feeling and then let it out. Speaking to a family member or friend can highlight the bigger picture for you and empower you to rise above the exam stress.
Well that's my main tips which I use for coping with exam stress .I hope that it has helped many of you as I hate worrying about exams. Actually I just hate worrying in general. Maybe next time if you like this blog post I'll do a post on how to stop worrying. I think that would help me too! Well I hope that this helped you worry about this topic and I'll maybe see you next time with a post on how to generally stop worrying.
