East Renfrewshire Educational Psychological Service have put together a programme of 5 sessions to help young people manage anxiety around exams. There is a Teacher Pack and a Student Pack, which can be downloaded below. These should be used together to deliver the programme, and sessions can be tailored to the needs of particular pupils. Inside the teacher pack are pre- and post-course questionnaires, and information on how to use and score these.
The aims of the course are:
- To understand anxiety and how it affects me.
- To understand how my thinking affects how I am feeling and acting.
- To develop coping strategies and learn about different tools to use to help reduce anxiety and manage exams.
