EXAM STRESS
1. Symptoms of exam stress
According to Professor Turnbull, a neurologist, more than 25% of America teenagers feel stressed at
least once a day. And nothing gets students down than exams. Nearly 90% of teenagers suffer from
stress at least once. “They come down with migraines, and many have problems eating and sleeping.”
2. Extra stress
Fear of failing exams is understandable. However, pressure from parents and teachers adds to the stress.
“My parents expect me to be good at everything – academic subject, sport, and music! It’s ridiculous,” says
Macy, 16, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
3. Prepare your environment
“You should make a revision plan that is realistic and that gives you enough time to study,” recommends Prof
Turnbull. “Students should eat healthy meals – oily fish and green vegetables contain chemicals that help you
memory. The revision environment is important. Student ought to find a quiet place to revise. They mustn’t
leave things on their desk that can distract them, such as a cell phone. And they should see their friends just a
few times a week – and if possible, no testing and no emails.
4. How to revise
“Make a list before you start revising each day. Study the most difficult things early in the day, when your
memory is fresher. After you have finished revising, check the list – and then rest. Exam stress wears off
when you read a magazine, listen to music, or do sports.”
5. On the big day
“If you start to feel nervous, breathe deeply for a minute. Then skim all the exam questions. Read all the
instruction carefully. How many questions do you have to answer? Are there any sections that you don’t have
to answer? Be prepared – then you won’t get any nasty surprises halfway through the exam.”
6. When it is all over
“Well done! You’ve done the best you could. Don’t look at the questions with your friends, as this can
make you worry more. Concentrate on your next exam. But take a rest first.
