Tests & Exams

Exams can feel like a big deal. You might feel confident, nervous, stressed, under pressure – or a mixture of all of these.

During the exam:

• Read the instructions carefully.
• Take your time.
• Start with a question you feel comfortable with if that helps.
• If your mind goes blank, pause and take a few slow breaths.
• Move on and come back to a difficult question if you can.
• Try to focus on your own paper, not what everyone else is doing.
