The end of a school term can be incredibly stressful! While it is important to take care of ourselves year-round, here are some tips + tricks to help navigate the stress that arises before a big exam:
- Create a homework or study schedule and hold yourself to it.
- Incorporate breaks into your study schedule. Our brains and our bodies need breaks!
- Doing exercises like walking, going to the gym, or doing yoga can make your body release feel-good chemicals called endorphins. These can make you happy, help you focus better, and reduce stress.
- Research shows that what you eat can impact your academic performance. Better nutrition is associated with improvements in staying on task and exam performance.
