Exam Study Strategies that really work!

Exam Anxiety Symptoms

• Students who have exam anxiety often report the following symptoms:
• Memory blocks or “blanking out” on things that you have studied
• Fear of failing before the exam is even written
• Physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, sweating etc.
• Lower reading comprehension
• Poor attention and inability to concentrate
• The key to dealing effectively with exam anxiety is to work on what you have control over (how you study, what you study etc.) and not worry about what you can’t control (kinds of questions, how other students perform etc.)
