Exams and Stress
It is quite natural to experience raised levels of stress during exams, and this can be beneficial in motivating and energising you. However, if your stress levels are having a negative impact on your performance, then you may wish to explore ways of addressing this. The following resources may be helpful:

  • Exam Stress Study Guide

  • The Mental Health Coordinator


Exams and Specific Learning Difficulties
Do you have evidence (post 16) in the form of an Educational Psychologist or Specialist Teacher report, of a Specific Learning Difficulty such as Dyslexia or Dyspraxia? Don't forget, you are entitled to affix a sticker to your examination script to inform the marker that the student has a SpLD. Further details from Ian Mortimer, tel. 01603 592891.

The Dyslexia Tutors can also offer advice on revision, for example, on how to approach revision.
