✨ Top Tips for Beating Exam Stress (That Actually Work!) ✨

📅 Make a Study Plan (But Be Kind to Yourself About It)

  • Honestly, cramming at the last minute? Never fun. Create a plan that works for you—short sessions, regular breaks, and time for Netflix after or whatever interests you.

  • Pick one spot to study—somewhere your brain knows it’s “go” time. (Pro tip: Bed = sleep zone. Your brain will thank you.)

  • Oh, and rewards? Essential. Finished a chapter? Snack time. Nailed that practice test? Call a friend.

🔕 Ditch the Distractions (Yes, That Means TikTok Too)

  • We get it—scrolling is tempting. But your brain will focus so much better if you put your phone in another room.

  • Take a few deep breaths. Literally stare at your notes for a moment—it’s weirdly calming.

  • Want to go all out? Put on some chill beats in the background. Instant study vibes.

⏱️ Short and Sweet Wins the Race

  • 20 minutes. That’s it. Go hard for 20 minutes, then chill. Your brain’s a muscle—it needs breaks too.

  • While you’re at it, visualize the info sticking. Imagine pulling that info out during the exam – all connected, logical order.

🗂️ Your Brain = The Ultimate Computer

  • Picture it: everything you’re learning is being neatly filed away, ready for exam day.

  • It’s all there—you just have to trust yourself to find it when you need it.

🚫 Tell That Inner Critic to "Shush"

  • We all get those “I can’t do this” thoughts. The trick? Interrupt them.

  • Literally say “STOP!” out loud if you need to. Get up, stretch, dance—reset and go again.

  • You’ve got this. Really.

🌬️ Breathe Like You Mean It

  • Deep belly breaths. In for four, hold for two, out for four, hold for two. Repeat.

  • Your brain will get the message: “I’m calm. I’m cool. I’ve got this.”
