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.
