General Exam Stress-Busting Tips Believe in yourself. If you prepare for the exams properly you should do fine, meaning that there is no need to worry excessively. Don't try to be perfect. It's great to succeed and reach for the stars, but keep things in balance. If you think that "anything less than a 100 means I've failed" then you are creating mountains of unnecessary stress for yourself. Aim to do your best but do recognize that none of us can be perfect all of the time. Take steps to overcome problems. If you find you don't understand some of your course material, getting stressed out won't help. Instead, take action to address the problem directly by going to the Center for Academic Success for help. Don't keep things bottled up. Confiding in someone you trust and who will be supportive is a great way to alleviate stress and worry. You are welcome to visit your campus counselor perhaps just for some initial advice or if you feel you want to take things further. adapted from: St. Andrews University Exam Stress Survival Kit
