Coping with Exam Stress



AKA – The bit where I sound like your mum…
Year 11:
Let’s not kid anyone – you’re Year 11 and there’s a constant balancing act between your social life and your work. That’s ok. You need to see your friends and have a life, BUT… you also need to make proper time to work. That means limiting your social life at key times during the year and planning your time carefully the rest of the year. You should expect to be working for a couple of hours a night; that means that if you have no specific homework you should be revising – without being told to. Remember, on results day you’ll look yourself in the mirror and say “I deserve those results”. Whether you have a smile on your face when you say it is up to you.
The exam period:
You’ll probably find that you’ll get stressed over the exam period, which is understandable (and a certain amount of stress is a good thing at times). You need to make sure that you take care of yourself over the exam period to make the most of your brain and revision. Here are our top tips for surviving the exam period: Get enough sleep for several days before the exam. This means a reasonable bed time all through the exam period. If you are tired you will not perform properly. Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg. If your body and brain have all the fuel and vitamins they need you will not get ill and you will feel less tired. On the day of the exam, eat breakfast. You may not feel like it, but put some fuel in your body or your brain will not work at its best. There’s also nothing worse than hearing your stomach rumble in a silent exam hall! Drink enough water. Being properly hydrated improves your brain function. Finally, remember that this is temporary. After a month your exams will be over and you will have the longest holiday of your life to look forward to. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
