What it is
Most exam anxiety shrinks when you have practiced under exam-like conditions — familiar format, timing, and environment.
When to use it
Weeks before exams, not hours before.
How to do it
- Take at least one timed practice test per subject.
- Simulate exam rules (no notes, same duration).
- Visit the exam room or format instructions if possible.
Common mistakes
- Only passive reading and calling it preparation.
- First timed practice on the real exam day.
- Ignoring physical health (sleep, food, movement).
