Simple strategies to manage stress and perform your best when it matters most.
20 Nov 2024
Key takeaways
- Practice with timed, low-stakes quizzes so the exam format feels familiar.
- Use shorter sessions when stress is high, then gradually increase question count.
- Review errors as feedback, not as a verdict on your preparation.
- Breathe slowly for a minute before you start; a steady opening prevents rushed early answers.
- Sleep and light exercise do more for exam-day focus than one more late-night revision session.
