Make sure you keep drinking plenty of water throughout your revision, and also on the exam day. https://padlet.com/emosley1/a39cqyy32foh/wish/150071363 2017-01-29 07:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/emosley1/a39cqyy32foh/wish/150071363 Appropriate Diet https://padlet.com/emosley1/a39cqyy32foh/wish/150071373 Keep away from junk food - what you eat can impact energy levels and focus.

Keep your body and brain well-fueled by choosing nutritious foods that have been proven to aid concentration and memory, such as fish, nuts, seeds, yogurt and blueberries. 

Eat a good meal before the test, based on foods that will provide a slow release of energy throughout. 

Sugar won't help when your energy levels crash an hour or so later.

Where do puppies come into exam stress? Lots of universities have installed ‘puppy rooms’ where students can come to relieve stress and anxiety. Pets have also been found to help you focus while studying but we wouldn’t recommend dropping into the library with your pet hamster! Popping bubble wrap is another stress reliever you can save for home study.]]> 2017-01-29 07:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/emosley1/a39cqyy32foh/wish/150071421 Ask for help nmajeed00 https://padlet.com/emosley1/a39cqyy32foh/wish/150071424

Don’t feel bad if you need to ask for help. People you can talk to about exams include: 

  • Teachers
  • Lecturers
  • Family members
  • Friends and fellow students 
If you’re feeling really stressed you might also find it helpful to speak to a counsellor.

Pause a moment after inhaling, long enough to mark the change from in to out. Then exhale evenly and fully before beginning again.

Breathing may sound too easy to be useful, but deliberately expanding your chest to take a deep breath relaxes your muscles and encourages them to work normally again. As a bonus, the increased flow of oxygen helps energize your brain. Best of all, this technique takes only a moment, so use it just before your test begins or during a particularly difficult section.
