Taking stress out of exams
Pre-exam stress is one of the biggest problems in students' lives. It makes you feel bad and stops you from thinking clearly. So here are some tips to help you lower the stress of exams.
The best way to deal with exam stress is to have a good study plan. Decide which subjects to study every day and how much time to spend on each one. And don't wait until the last minute to study everything.
When we don't understand something, we feel stressed. It's normal. But don't worry about it, do something about it! Ask your teacher for help. You may find it hard to believe but all teachers want their students to do well in exams.
Your body needs exercise for your brain to work better. So don't study all the time. It can just make you more stressed. Do some sport, go to the gym or just go for a walk but get up and move!
It's important for your brain to rest so try to get eight hours' sleep every night. Eat a healthy diet and avoid drinks with caffeine that can stop you from sleeping well.
Finally, if you have followed all this advice and you still feel stressed, then don't keep it a secret. Talk to someone, your mum or your dad, a friend or a teacher and tell them how you feel. We all need help sometimes.
