7 Things to Think About the Night Before an Exam

POSITIVE IMAGERY
Spend some time visualising a positive exam experience. This will increase your confidence, help with nerves and enhance your mood.

YOUR BEST PERFORMANCE
Think about a previous good performance. What helped you do well that time and how you will apply that tomorrow?

YOUR PREPARATION
Boost your confidence by reminding yourself of how well you have prepared and how much revision you have done.

FOCUS ON YOU
Focus on yourself and don’t compare yourself to others as this will make you feel stressed. Instead, focus on what you can control.

THE CHALLENGE
If you see the exam as a threat, it will make you stressed. View the exam as an opportunity or as a challenge. This will make you feel better.

OVERCOMING SETBACKS
Remind yourself how you overcame previous setbacks. This will help you deal with future challenges and build mental resilience.

A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP
A good night’s sleep helps improve creativity, problem solving, concentration and memory. This is more important than last minute cramming.
