EXAM DAY

Don't study too late on the night before your exam. Decide that you have done enough and stop. Try to get a good night's sleep. Some students find it helpful to set two alarms so they will not worry about sleeping in.

Accept that it is normal to feel a little nervous before any serious test. In fact this can be a good thing because it will enable you to write quickly and concentrate well. If you are overly anxious, see a student counsellor as early as possible before the exam for some help with reducing this anxiety.

Get up in plenty of time and do things you need to do steadily and without getting flustered. Do not try to learn anything new - perhaps just read over a couple of summaries. Leave in plenty of time to get to the exam (you should have double checked the time and place previously).
