Are you going to get your final exam? Are you nervous? I hope the presentation from British Council Learning English will help you. I found this article when I surfing to the website to do the games and watch the Word on the Street.
2. It has suddenly hit me that this year I will sit my last ever exams. I don’t
know if that has helped with the stress, or just made it worse.
3. I have always struggled with the stress of exams, and the horrible
nervousness that happens on the day itself. Even if I have revised as
much as possible, my nerves still take over. And I know I’m not the
only one. So I’ve made a list of a few of my personal tips for dealing
with exam stress.
1. Keep calm and drink tea.
Or coffee. Or water. Or whatever it is you like to drink. It
provides a quick break, so you can just stop for a second
while the kettle is boiling and think about something
different for a couple of minutes. Although perhaps I should
cut down on the amount of tea I make, otherwise my whole
day will be one big revision break!
4. 2. Socialise!
I find that it’s really easy to shut yourself away for hours on end, going over
your notes by yourself and not see anyone all day. That’s fine for a short
amount of time, especially if that’s how you revise best, but I think it’s equally
as important to make sure you spend time with other people too, whether you
revise together or simply meet up for a chat. I’ve realised this year that when
we all graduate, it is unlikely that we will see each other much, so I’m definitely
making the most of seeing as many friends as possible now!
3. Exercise
As I said in my last article, I love running. I find that it makes a perfect revision
break, because you can focus on something else for an hour or so, you can
listen to some great music, or even socialise, if you prefer exercising with
someone else. You get to spend time outside in the fresh air, which helps your
brain recover from all those hours of studying. Plus it’s good for you, which is
always a bonus!
5. 4. Sharing is caring
Sometimes it helps to get together with other people taking the
same exams as you to share ideas and talk things over,
especially if there is a certain aspect you are struggling with.
You can make sure that you understand everything properly, as
well as picking up new ideas that maybe you hadn’t thought of
before. And it means you get to spend extra time with your
friends, too!
Everyone has their own ways of coping with exam time, or
maybe you don’t suffer from stress (in which case I am
very jealous!). If any of you are sitting exams this year, I
wish you the best of luck!
