Exam Stress and Support
Exam stress can be more than feeling nervous on the day of an exam. It can also be how you feel building up to exams, during exams and when waiting for results.
It’s normal to feel stressed and on edge about exams. Stress is your body’s natural response to pressure. It can help you focus and get things done, but sometimes it can all get a bit much.
Exam stress can affect anyone and it can show up in loads of ways, like:
feeling anxious or down
getting irritable and angry
struggling to sleep
changes in your eating habits
having bad thoughts about yourself
worrying about the future
losing interest in stuff you usually like
finding it hard to concentrate
feeling unwell – like headaches, feeling sick or tired
If any of these feelings are beginning to take over your life, there is help.
