🫶 You're Not Alone: Support for Exam Pressure

Welcome to your safe space! We know exams can be super stressful, but remember, you're not alone. Here's a little guide to help you stay calm and confident during this time.

🌟 Quick Tips to Beat Exam Stress

  • • Take Deep Breaths: Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, and breathe out for 4 seconds. Repeat this a few times whenever you feel overwhelmed.
  • • Stay Organised: Write down a study plan and check off tasks as you complete them. It feels good to see your progress!
  • • Take Breaks: For every 30-40 minutes of studying, take a 5-minute stretch or snack break.
  • • Get Moving: Exercise, even just a short walk, can help clear your mind and boost your mood.

🛠 Try These Tools
