Examination and Study Info

Health experts recommend simple, commonsense approaches to keeping cool under exam pressure.
Here are some useful tips:

  • develop good study habits, including making, and sticking to, a schedule and setting priorities
  • preserve a good study space (this helps maintain some control over study demands)
  • take regular breaks
  • eat and sleep well
  • get together with other students to study or discuss common exam topics
  • communicate - let those around you know how you are going and tell them when you need quiet time
  • recognise your own stress signals
  • discuss concerns with family and friends.
