ü  deep breathing relaxation

ü  positive self-talk

"You are well prepared, show them what you know."

"Stay relaxed and go slow."

"If first you don't succeed, go to the next one."

When should you put them into practice?

There are 3 time zones that these relaxation techniques could lift you up:

1) When you are studying and you start to tense up.

2) Just prior to the test because the calming effect will last for a while.

3) During the test if you feel yourself starting to get anxious.
