The main cause of exam stress is lack of preparation, poor time management, poor study habits and worrying. To help combat this unnecessary stress, here are a few tips to help you stay on top of the game.
Keep calm.
Give very brief background in relation to what the question actually asks
State key points
Use topic sentences while explaining points or concepts
Use figures/diagrams, as deemed appropriate
Write concluding paragraph
Make paragraphs short – change paragraph while switching to another point or idea
Attempt questions that you can respond most efficiently and effectively first
Pay attention on instructions, numbering, formatting etc.
Time management is probably the most important
