6 TIPS TO BEAT FINAL EXAM STRESS
Have you ever seen a stress-free high-school student?
Stress is a huge part of a schoolleaver’s experience, and it’s something we all
have to deal with in life. We don’t,however, have to let it get the best of us.
This may come as a shock, but stress DOES NOT have to
take over your life, no matter how many finals you have. You can still do well
on your tests without wantingto die for an entire week. Here are 6 top tips for
keeping stress at a minimum during your exams.
1) Stress actually is contagious. During exam period,
resist the urge to have a study session with your super-tense friend,
especially if he/she’s complaining about all thework he/she has to do and
breaking pencils all over the place. His/her stress willonly add to your
stress.
2) This seems like a no-brainer, but it’s a wonder how
many people forget it. Skip thesugar, which will make you crash, and go for
snacks like granola bars, healthy cerealor fruits and veggies to keep your
blood sugar stable. If you’re studying for a longperiod of time, eat some
protein, too. Also, try to get some form of exercise. Evena 10-minute walk will
leave you calmer and more focused.
3) What you need is to say no to the people who want
to take up your time. There willprobably be a friend who needs to talk to you
for hours about life, or a party thenight before your final, and if you say
yes, you’ll probably be tempted to blow offstudying. Resist the urge. Say no to
the distractions and be selfish for a day. Youwant a good result, right?
4) For every hour or so that you work, take a 10 or
15-minute break. Let yourself dowhatever you want (check Facebook, check out
that guy sitting nearby, stare off intospace, call a friend, etc.) for those
10—15 mins, then start working again. This givesyour brain a little rest and
will help keep you more focused when you are actuallydoing work.
5)This is actually my favourite tip of all, even
though it sounds kind of nuts. Imagineyourself taking the test and feeling
confident that you know all the information. Picture getting all of the answers
right, and focus on how relaxed you feel. Then picture the A on your test
paper. When you imagine a happy ending, that’s often what happens, because you
make the decisions that lead to it without even realizing.
6)When test-time rolls around, it’s time to get
yourself into confidence mode. You’veprepared as much as you could, and now
it’s time to ace the test. The tip here is todo whatever works to convince
yourself you are going to do really well. Again, I knowthis tip sounds a little
crazy but you just have to try it for yourself. I think you’lllike the results.
A. Take some deep breathing exercises.
B. Force yourself to take breaks.
C. If you’ve studied all you can, get up your
confidence!
D. Just say NO.
E. Eat healthy and exercise.
F. Ask for help.
G. Avoid stressful people.
H. Visualize it all going right.
