- Don’t cram for an exam. The amount you learn won’t be worth the stress.
- Don’t think of yourself or the test in a negative sense.
- Don’t stay up late studying the night before. You need the sleep. Begin studying a week in advance if possible.
- Don’t spend time with classmates who generate stress for you on test day.
- Don’t take those last few moments before the test for last minute cramming. Try to relax and spend that time reading the newspaper or some other distraction.
- Do remind yourself that the test is only a test.
- Do focus on integrating details into main ideas.
- Do reward yourself after the test with food or a movie or some other treat.
- Do something relaxing the last hour before the test.
- Do tell yourself that you will do your best on the test, and that will be enough!
