Exam & Test stress

During the lead up to an exam or test its quite common to feel nervous and anxious with that feeling of dread or butterflies in your stomach. These feelings can start weeks or months before the exam causing you to worry that your memory will let you down at the crucial time. These feelings can affect anyone and are to be expected but for some people they can be particularly overwhelming. Feelings of anxiety can intensify causing you to start to feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach problems or sleepless nights causing a vicious circle of intense emotions. This could be your only chance to prove your ability, and your future could hang in the balance. Although your mind has all the information needed to pass the exam, these anxious feels will greatly impair your ability to concentrate. The last thing you need is for your mind to go blank or your memory to let you down especially after all the hard work that you have put in. Revising and preparing for the exam is not the only way for success, its vital for you to feel calm, confident and in control. This will allow you to concentrate far better and focus your thoughts enabling your memory to flow easily. The best way to start your exam is by feeling in control, calm and confident not anxious with a racing mind.
