Feeling overwhelmed by GCSE exam stress? You’re not alone. Managing exam anxiety is just as important as academic revision. This guide offers practical mindfulness and wellbeing strategies to support student wellbeing for GCSE success.
Common symptoms include trouble sleeping, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Acknowledging these feelings is the first step to managing exam anxiety.
Simple mindfulness exercises—like deep breathing, guided meditation, or mindful walks—can help calm your mind. Even a few minutes a day can make a difference. For more on student support, see TRH Learning.
Balance revision with regular meals, exercise, and sleep. A healthy body supports a healthy mind, making it easier to cope with exam pressure.
Short, frequent breaks during study sessions help prevent burnout and improve focus. Try the Pomodoro Technique or simply step outside for fresh air.
Don’t hesitate to talk to friends, family, or teachers if you’re struggling. Sharing your worries can lighten the load and provide new perspectives.
Prioritising your wellbeing is key to managing exam anxiety and achieving your best. For more expert advice and free resources, visit TRH Learning and support your journey to GCSE success.
