Plan how to get to the exam, remember that several hundred students will be
traveling on the same
route, get an early bus or see if you can walk to the
exam hall. Don’t rely on vague offers of lifts; make the best arrangements that
will work for you. If you sleep it out or have an accident on the way to the
exam come in anyway and report to the exam hall. The invigilator will advise
you on the best course of action. On the exam day the student union and the
student advisers will be present to offer support outside the exam. Once the
exam has started, if you are not able to control your anxiety after ten
minutes, call the invigilator to your desk.
If your stress has recently increased significantly
because of circumstances outside your control (e.g. family problems,
accommodation problems, death in the family), see a student advisor, counselor
or your academic year co-coordinator to discuss the impact on your exams.
