  • Reach out for support: Chat it out with friends, family, or a trusted adult. Share your concerns and worries, and let them be your rock during this time.
  • Treat yourself: Engage in activities you love, such as hobbies, reading, or listening to music, to relieve stress and promote relaxation. Taking time for self-care helps you destress and feel refreshed

3. Exam Prep Hacks

  • Create a study schedule: Plan out your study sessions in advance and stick to a schedule. Break down your subjects into manageable chunks and allocate specific time slots for each topic.
  • Past papers are your study buddies: Familiarise yourself with the exam format and types of questions by practicing past papers. This will help you identify areas that need more attention and improve your time management skills.
  • Keep it organized: Tidy up your study space. Keep your study materials, notes, and resources well-organized. Use color-coded folders or digital tools to easily access and review important information. A clutter-free zone equals a stress-free zone!
