This session will firstly explore what we mean when we say ‘exam stress’, why this happens and the role of fear of failure.
We will then look at how to recognise the signs of exam stress and offer some practical tips on providing early support.
We will cover the range of help available to students across the University, from exam strategies to wellbeing support, and how staff can signpost to these.
The experience of ‘exam stress’ is not a medical condition, but we will also explain what to do if a student has an underlying condition and extra support is required.
