You will probably be under even. more pressure if you have an older brother or sister who has already done well in their exams and your parents expect you to do $0 too. But don't worry, because it's natural to feel stressed before taking an exam. In fact, research has shown that alittle stress in your life can motivate and energise you. However, when the level of stress js too high, it can cause health problems. ‘When preparing for exams, there are many things you can do to lower your level of stress. First of all, you should not leave revision to the last, minute. When you give yourself plenty of time to revise, you will be more confident and less stressed out, since you know that you have prepared well. If you don't understand something, getting stressed out will not help. Talk to your teacher or your classmates and ask them to help you out. Now, if you find that you cannot concentrate when you are studying, itis probably because you are too tired; take a short break as this will refresh you, Other things you should make sure you do when preparing for your exams are eat healthily and exercise regularly. Eating the right kind of food will give your brain the nutrients it needs. Exercising regularly will give you more eneray, clear your mind and make you feel less stressed. Most importantly, give yourself some time for fun and relaxation, otherwise you will be too tired to study. On the day of the exam, there is no point in worrying any longer over whether you have studied hard enough. You should, therefore, try to remain calm and do your best. If you do not do well itis not the end of the world, and remember, there is no shame in retaking an exam. you have failed.
