What you will get

A week-by-week plan to ease exam nerves, with breathing and grounding exercises, a way to handle a blank mind, what to do the night before and the morning of, and a kinder way to talk to yourself.

Common mistake

The worries line is vague.

Fix: Name what actually scares you, such as running out of time or forgetting formulas, so the advice targets it.

Also watch for

You only try the breathing in the exam hall. Practise it daily for a few minutes beforehand, as the tip says, so it is familiar when stress is high.
The anxiety is heavy or constant. This is general advice, not medical care. If it affects sleep, eating or daily life, speak to a doctor, counsellor or your school’s support service.

Try a variation: make a night-before routine

Ask for a detailed evening plan with a stop-study time, a light meal, a short wind-down and a bedtime, built around your usual hours.
