How to handle exam results anxiety 

Know that failing an exam does not make you a failure - Remember, if you fail an exam, you are not a failure – you are still a good person, just a good person who failed an exam.  

Try to stay calm - Practicing mindfulness exercises such as mindful breathing can help you to stay in the moment and manage stress or anxiety. 

Avoid people who could make it more difficult - Sometimes, friends or the people around us can make us feel worse about a big event like exam results coming up. Try to get some space from these people and focus on yourself. 

Make time for self-care - One of the best ways to handle anxiety is to make time for ourselves. Think of something you like to do, whether that’s playing a sport, reading, watching films, or any other activity that makes you feel good. 

Know that you have options - it’s normal to be feeling confused or unsure about what will happen next. Remember that no matter what results in you get, you have lots of options, including appealing your grade or doing a PLC. 

Talk to someone - If you’re feeling upset or overwhelmed about your results, the CAO, or your plans for the future, it is a good idea to talk to someone. This could be a trusted friend, family member, teacher, lecturer, or counselor.
