Exam Preparation

Preparing for exams can be nerve wracking and a scary experience, here are my top tips on how to deal with exam stress and how to effectively prepare.

  • Ensure to organize your study space.
  • Set up a time period to study in.
  • Use flow charts and diagrams. This can make things more clearer.
  • Practice on past papers. This will help you get used to exam layouts.
  • Explain your answers to others. Teaching other people can help you become better at a subject.
  • Organize study groups with friends. Studying with other people can be just as effective as studying alone however it’s important not to get distracted.
  • Take regular breaks. Pushing yourself too much can cause more stress.
  • Have a snack. This can help you think more clearly as often we forget to eat when we are so concentrated.
  • Plan your exam day. This can ensure you don’t accidentely miss your exam.
  • Do not say “I can’t do it”. As long as you put your mind to something you can do it.

  1. A very thoughtful and useful piece of writing Lauryn. I have linked to it from the English Department twitter feed.

    You could think about developing this by writing about how to create the perfect study environment at home.
