Unfortunately what I have to say will not help exams go away because let's face it, we all have to do them at some point within our life. But one thing I can hopefully advice you on is how to deal with the exams that you are taking, so far I have taken SAT's, GCSE's and one year of A-Levels and I'm currently about to finish my final year of A-Levels. I find exams stressful and they're just something that I would happily like to remove from my life all together but I'm not that lucky. So I have decided to put together a few steps on ways to approach exams:
- Have a fearless attitude- Don't come across as too cocky but have a positive attitude throughout all of your exams. If you can't believe in yourself, no one can.
- Revise!- Procrastinating is never the best solution and if you don't put the hard work in, you won't get the results you are hoping for, unfortunately it doesn't work like that. Spend at least an hour a day revising the subject that you have an exam for- DON'T OVER REVISE!
- Buy good stationary- Knowing that when you have your exam that you have a brand new pen to use or stationary to use is the best feeling (just make sure it works first)
- DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE OUTCOME- If you go into an exam and think about how bad the exam is and how bad you know you're going to fail, you're only setting yourself up for disaster. Take a deep breath and think, you know you're wrong and you probably will pass that exam without a doubt!
- Be chilled but not too chilled- Don't think that this means that you should just not try when it comes to your exams because let's face it, you have no one to blame but yourself if you don't pass. (Sorry but it's the truth)
- Reward yourself- After every exam that you do, reward yourself! Finally all of your hard work has payed off and that exam is over with, so go out and have fun! Don't think about all of those other 1800 exams you have left, live in the now!
These are the steps that I try to take when I come to exam time, they may not work for everyone but hopefully they will help you in some ways! I wish you all luck with exams or finishing this year of education! You can do it, stay strong!
Ciao for now...
