A small amount of exam stress is quite healthy, as it can help keep you on track and motivated to revise your notes.
One of the best ways to alleviate your worry is to prepare well in advance of the exam date and to stick to a study plan that works for your schedule.
It is vital to have a positive mindset throughout the examination period. Begin by talking positively about the upcoming exams and by focusing on your successes. Remember to reward yourself for the study you have been doing.
Acknowledge your progress along the way no matter how small it is, as this positive reinforcement can help to reframe negative thinking. If you stick to your study plan, develop a clever acrostic, or make notes, be proud of your achievement.
However if you find you are overwhelmed with worry about your upcoming exams try the STOP technique.
