Stress Reduction for Exams Workshop

The "Problem"

Performing well on examinations requires studying and learning as well as being in the proper state to write the exam. One difficulty that a student may encounter during studying and learning or while writing an exam is excessive stress. This might be experienced as anxiety, panic or "going blank."

The Workshop

This workshop will focus on stress reduction techniques. Some useful methods involve a focus on one's body such as proper sleep, nutrition, exercise and avoidance of body stressors. Other effective methods of reducing stress involve learning to relax one's body and to breath tension away. Still other techniques involve calming one's thoughts and focusing on the task at hand.

This short workshop will describe several methods of stress reduction and provide an opportunity to practice.
