With final exams and tests right around the corner, we thought it would be helpful to share a few tips on how to take tests and have less stress. Watch Girls With Dreams TV talk here.
A few other suggestions to think about:
- Plan ahead: Map out the weeks leading up to finals and build in time for fun and time to study.
- What’s your learning style? Do you do better making flash cards? Studying with a friend? Highlighting and taking notes? Figure out your style and use it to study. For extra study tips, don’t be afraid to ask your friends or even your teacher.
- Try to eat and sleep well. This is always hard during crunch time, but do the best you can!
- Exercise and Relax. Getting exercise helps deal with stress in your body. Take down time to to relax and don’t forget to take those deep breaths. Deep breathing is a great way to calm yourself down especially during the test!
- Have Confidence! You’re going to to be great. Head into your tests and finals with confidence (even if you’re scared). Attitude makes a big difference. Using these tips you are going to do awesome!!!!
- Celebrate when you’re done! Figure out a fun way to celebrate whether it’s getting a movie, having a treat, dancing to your favorite music, or maybe just hanging out with friends.
