Do you struggle wih exam anxiety and exam nerves?
It may be that exams have become an ordeal for you because of your panic and nerves. Whilst most people get some nerves before exams, if those feelings of anxiety and panic get too overwhelming they can stop you performing to the best of your ability (or sometimes you can’t even do the exam at all).
And the added pressure of knowing that, if you perform badly, you will disappoint family, teachers and yourself can intensify the anxiety.
Recently I was working with a student who was overwhlmed with exam anxiety and panic. The nearer the exams got, the worse the anxiety and, based on previous experiences, the worse he performed in the exam room.
