Staying Calm Under Pressure

Keep Your Cool!

Emergencies and tests can both make your heart race. Staying calm helps you remember what you’ve learned and make good decisions.

  • Take deep breaths if you feel nervous.
  • Focus on one step at a time.
  • Remind yourself that you’re prepared!

A calm mind leads to clear actions—both in exams and real emergencies.

Examples

  • Pausing for a deep breath before answering a tough question.

  • Mentally rehearsing the steps of CPR to stay focused during a real-life emergency.
