Think Positive

• A positive mindset can do wonders for your
  confidence in the exam hall. When you start
  getting those exam nerves and negative thoughts
  you have to counter them with positive thoughts.
  Tell yourself that you are going to pass the
  exam. A positive mindset will improve your
  chances.

Relax

• Many students will be familiar with that shaky,
  nauseous feeling you can sometimes get as you
  enter the exam hall. But there are ways you can
  ease these feelings.

Be Prepared

• The best route to confidence in the exam hall is
  knowing youve prepared as much as you can. Know
  a bit about every topic in the relevant module.
  This way you will feel confident enough to talk
  about any topic relevant to the question.

7
Keep in Time

• Keeping track of time in the exam hall can be
  difficult when you are concentrating on
  completing your exam. Plan the exact time that
  each question should be finished. This stops you
  panicking in the exam, wondering whether you are
  going to finish or not.

Ask For Help

• Meet with your tutor to discuss topics you dont
  understand or ask them to do my exam for me.
  Summarize your knowledge of the syllabus, do this
  a couple of weeks before the exam, then arrange
  to see your tutor and make notes from their
  advice. Then make sure you include it in your
  revision sessions so its all fresh in your mind
  before your exam.
