EXAM STRESS SUPPORT

Revision timetable
Make a revision timetable & schedule time to work for each subject - you could even colour code the subjects e.g. red = subject that needs more attention

Eat well
Try to eat a well balanced diet, this will help keep up your nutrition - blueberries are well known to be linked to memory, so why not try a blueberry smoothie!

Communicate feelings
​
Communicate your stress & anxieties to others - families, friends, teachers, anyone! Someone may be going through something similar & you can support each other.

Find a revision group
If you're finding a subject particularly hard or enjoy revising in groups then you may find attending an after school revision group useful - especially as a teacher to help.

Get enough sleep
​
It's important to try and get a good nights sleep during the exam season as you'll need to rest your brain as it will be working very hard!
Exam stress is something near enough everyone struggles with. Working towards exams may cause stress and anxiety, however, there are a variety of ways to gain control over this in order to make your exam period an easier time!
