A little stress can be helpful,but too much and you will collapse before you cross the finishing line

5 Ways To Be An Exam Athlete

1.Start Early
Start revision early,you have the luxury of taking the time to understand concepts,doing more practice questions,and more importantly,clarifying doubts with your teachers.it also helps to reduce thos pre-exam nightmares and last minute panic attack.

2.Prepare Mind,Body And Soul
Ever heard of the phrase "Healthy Body,Healthy Mind"? It can be tempting to skip meals and lock yourself in your room with only books and alone light bulb for company,but by the end of the exams,all that will be left of you is a hollow shell. Chow down on brain food like salmon and dark green vegetables and give your regular "fresh air" breaks.You will not fail just because you took an hour off to grab a coffee with a friend or go for a jog around the neightbourhood.

3.Buddy Up
A friend to study with you.Ideally,this friend should have a similar studying style to you,or you risk ruining your friendship when you start reading out aloud from your textbook.Also,it can be an added benefit if your friend is particulary good at a subject you're weak at and vice versa.That way,you can both help each other out! Win-Win!

4.Develop An Exam Routine
Closer to the exam date,start you own exam "routine".Set a fixed bedtimes and wake up time.This is not only good for your health,but it will reduce the possibillity of the worst-case scenario happening - waking up late for a paper.Routines also help establish a sense of security and purpose that can help calm you down.

5.Positive Thoughts
On the day of the exam,psych yourself up by channeling positive thoughts to help boost your confidence.Walk into the exam hall telling your inner self, "I Can Do It!" Squash the inner demons that are trying to say "you going to fail"Don't underestimtae the power of positive thought in helping you to last throught the very grueling exam period!
