Exams are top of mind for students but proper preparation and studying habits should help to quell anxiety and nerves.
Maintaining a schedule, taking practice tests, and mixing in a fair amount of breaks for physical activity are all ways to make sure you don’t burn out while also retaining what you’re learning.
Guidance Counselor Shelly Weselan says re-creating the exam atmosphere beforehand is the number one thing she recommends.
Weselan says working with peers is great if you have a mature relationship with them. Even still, having a base knowledge of the course is key beforehand, and she suggests study aids like cue cards or creating acronyms to help you along.
