Test-Taking and Stress Management

Staying Calm on Exam Day

Test anxiety is normal, but you can manage it!

  • Get a good night’s sleep before the test.
  • Practice timed quizzes to get comfortable with the exam format.
  • Use deep breathing or mindfulness techniques to stay focused.

During the Exam

  • Read each question carefully and eliminate clearly wrong answers first.
  • If you get stuck, move on and come back later—don’t let one question shake your confidence.

You’ve got this!

Examples

  • A nurse practices box breathing before starting the exam to calm their nerves.

  • During a tough question, the test-taker skips ahead and returns with a fresh perspective.
