I didn't write for a while because I had tests at my college but I'm back now :)
Instead of writing about well-known exam stress, I'll list few things that can really help you reduce exam stress. Well at least they helped me.
Create a study schedule and hold to it!
To prevent mental fatigue, take a short break (but avoid television and loud music) !
Maintain a regular sleep pattern!
Food rich in vitamins and proteins, such as green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits, are a must (the nutrients will help your brain stay sharp)!
Stay away from distractions!
Think positive!
Every day take some time for short exercise and relaxation!
From the list above most important is to create a study schedule. A little bit of organization (even if it's organized just in your head) can do miracles.
And most important - just do it! Ok, I realized it sounds like Nike ad :/ but i just wanted to say that every beginning is hard and I know that lots of you are pretty lazy when it comes to study, but believe me - just move your finger next to that little button and shut down internet/tv, open a book and see what will happen. After just 2 min it will be alot easier for you to continue studying.
It's also important that after you manage to study for an hour (or longer :O ) you reward yourself with a break.
Is it just me or the feeling of satisfaction which comes after studying and also feeling that you did something useful is really really great and fulfilling?
Do you have some of your own tricks how to reduce exam stress?
