Once in a while, stress gets the better of most of us. Sweaty palms, racing heartbeats, tired eyes, all of which can lead to a lack of concentration in what we need to get on with. The stress and adrenaline rush which comes with exam pressure is often unavoidable. Even those of us who have past the days of exams, remember the panic in thinking ‘I haven’t done enough revision’ or ‘I haven’t got enough time to answer all of these questions’. The trick is to channel the energy into a positive thing. This natural reaction is a human instinct known as ‘Fight of Flight’. It biologically prepares our bodies to either fight whatever’s attacking us or run for our lives. In the case of exams, we must face our fears and tackle the monster.
