Tips To Relieve Stress During Tests & Exams

  • 📚 Study smart — Understand the material first, then review it. Break work into small chunks and avoid cramming.
  • 🗓️ Plan your time — Use a calendar to map out study sessions and put the hardest topics first.
  • 🔕 Limit distractions — Find a quiet spot, turn off notifications, and keep your space organized.
  • 🧠 Active learning wins — Make flashcards, teach someone else, or quiz yourself instead of just rereading.
  • 💬 Ask for help early — Teachers, classmates, and support staff can guide you before stress builds.
  • 😌 Before the test — Take a few minutes to breathe, avoid last‑minute cramming, and stay away from stressful conversations.
  • ✍️ During the test — Start with easier questions, read instructions carefully, and come back to tricky ones later.
