How to stay calm during the exam 📝🙇🏽‍♂️

• Work on the sections you know before attempting the more difficult sections 🤔📝
  
  ‍This will help you pick up more of the marks you are sure of instead of wasting your time cracking your brain on the difficult sections.Once you have the easier stuff done, you will have the time and the confidence to try and figure out the more challenging stuff.
  ‍
• Skip the sections you feel you are wasting time on ⏰😓
  
  ‍If you feel you are stuck on a question then you should skip it and try the simpler questions. You don’t want to waste time on something you are unsure of during an exam, rather come back to it once you have done all the sections you know.
  ‍
• Ask your teachers or invigilators for help 🙋🏿👩🏼‍🏫
  
  ‍They might not be able to give you the answer, but they may be able to explain a question that you don’t understand.This way, even if you don’t know how to answer the question, you will at least have an idea of what you need to do.

Always remember that although it is important to do well in your exams, it is also important to take care of your mental health. 💆🏻‍♂️⚖️

If the anxiety becomes too much for you to cope with, let your teacher/exam invigilator know so they can help you calm down. 👨🏽‍💼😊

These are some tips that can help you stay calm during an exam.

Sending hugs and strength. You got this. 💛🤖
