Pre-Exam tips to manage stress

Preparing for exams can be a stressful time. Learn more about our handy guide to give you tips and techniques to help support you with managing your stress during exams.

Exam season can be a stressful time of year when you have lots of exams and are waiting for your results – and it’s completely natural.

Everyone gets a bit of stress around exams, but it’s important that you don’t let it become too much to handle. Making sure you look after your mental health is important for your wellbeing, and it’ll help you perform better in exams too!

To help you cope with exams and stay on top of your emotions, we’ve created a downloadable “Stress Management Guide” that outlines tips and techniques you can use to keep calm and manage your stress during exams.

It includes:

  • How to revise effectively and realistically (including a handy revision timetable)
  • How to manage your emotions
  • How to practice self care
  • The importance of asking for help
  • How to stay calm on exam day
  • What to expect on results day

We hope you find these tips and techniques useful, and find that they support you on your journey.
