eaten up by exams

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.

With the exam period looming over the UK, it is important to give students the support they need when dealing with their stress levels. TrueTube have provided an assembly script, film and PowerPoint presentation to give those anxious pupils a helping hand. The assembly script provides an activity which demonstrates the importance of facing our fears and a good few tips on how deal with exam pressure. The accompanying film focuses on different phobias present amongst society
 where as the comical PowerPoint presentation, will keep the students engaged with the content of the assembly script. These resources successfully make the exam period seem less daunting and the words of advice more memorable. Unfortunately, I was one of those students who went to bed at 2 am and woke up at 6 am to cram in last minute revision during exams. A lack of sleep, strong coffee and high stress levels are never a good combination for anybody! The guidance from these resources will help your students control their nerves and tackle the exam monster in style.
