Good preparation is the best way to beat nerves and perform
well: revise early in semester, acquire active learning , essay writing and problem solving
techniques, and manage your time in the 12 weeks of
semester.cc: MyNameIsHarry - https://www.flickr.com/photos/29264769@N00
Common reasons for exam nerves:
• a bad experience in a past exam
• lack of confidence in your abilities
• emphasis on memorisation rather than acquiring exam skills: problem solving, analytical skills, time management, task analysis, essay organisation.
