DEALING WITH - EXAMS WORKSHOP

Working towards exams can creating feelings of worry and being under pressure, especially at GCSE level, A Level or at university where you’re aiming for a degree. Then add COVID-19 into the mix. However there are a range of things that you can do to help deal with the stress that you might be feeling…

Keep it in perspective - Whatever happens in your exams, you can still be successful in life afterwards. So if you don’t do as well as you’d hoped, try to keep things in perspective.

Exam success doesn’t define you as a person. Everyone copes differently in different situations and there’s so much more to your personality than how well you can respond to an exam.

DEALING WITH - TIME MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP

“Time management” is the process of organising and planning how to divide your time between specific activities. Good time management enables you to work smarter – not harder – so that you get more done in less time, even when time is tight and pressures are high. Failing to manage your time damages your effectiveness and causes stress.

It seems that there is never enough time in the day. But, since we all get the same 24 hours, why is it that some people achieve so much more with their time than others? The answer lies in good time management.
