Its the day of the exam! How do you make sure it is productive and stress is minimal?
· Set an alarm and have a back-up alarm (whether that's another alarm clock or a person willing to make sure you're up)
· Eat a filling and nutritious breakfast
· Double-check you've got everything you need for the day
· Have a back-up plan for how you're going to get to the exam, just in case your normal transport plan goes pear-shaped
· Stay calm and focused. Use deep breathing and don't let other people's nervousness and insecurity get to you. Don't talk about the exam or how much revision you've done to your friends, it won't help your chances of success or your friendship
Good luck Matric class '23 for your final exams!
Keep calm you got this!
