How to calm 'exam results tomorrow' nerves?

Question

well scared doesn't quite say it. i think i have pushy parents, but they are so calm and reassuring atm. They want me to do really well academically (and be happy obviously), and go to Ox-bridge. I really hope i did well, i'm praying like God knows what (literally hopefully lol).

I got so stressed pre- exam i didn't see anyone, and was too scared to revise as i thought i had done enough. I don't know. I didn't want to open that bludy book again, see that i didn't do enough and get nervous again. I don't know what to do if i do badly. Over here in england gcses seem to be the be all and end all when it comes to uni. Too many people do too well. Please help me through x

Answer 1

The things you can do-

- Engaging in an interesting activity

- Accepting that now you have no control over results

- the result can be better or poor than ur and ur parents' expectations

- this result even if not good as you want is not the end of everything,    future may hold better opportunities

- do some deep/diaphramic breathing

- do some physical activity

- talk with friends close to you

- listen to some music, etc

Answer 2

you cant change anything so just relax...what you get is what you get...and if you've worked hard enough, you won't be disapointed!

good luck!

Answer 3

Keep reminding yourself that the test is over. You can't change anything about it now. Do some deep breathing. Sit somewhere quite and make sure you are comfortable.. Breathe deeply thru your nose. Hold for 2 seconds and release slowly. Do that for 10 minutes or so and you should feel calmer.

Answer 4

Do things that will keep your mind busy. Sports. Games. A favorite tv show.  

Answer 5

As someone already said, you have to tell yourself there is literally nothing you can do. Although it's easier said than done, worrying about it is not going to make the slightest bit of difference. At all. Tell yourself that even if you don't do as well as you or your parents anticipated, it's not the end of the world. There are always ways around things. GSCE's and exams like that are made too much a fuss about, so you can always work around it. Good luck.:)

Answer 6

           its okay  ,dont fret !! things could have been much WORSE ,  believe me.

            Want to  try something DIFFERENT ???

just do the following RIGHT NOW ;

1--chant 'hari om'(hari as in HURRY & om as in HOME without the 'H') do this repetedly & a point will come where you will feel like you  just want to close your eyes ( in that case case do it).At this point increase the number of O in om like HARI OOOM & then ----HARI OOOOOOOOM----- & so on.when you chant this VEDIC MANTRA then remain silent (no thinking!,fidgeting,moving,etc) for an amount of time taken to chant this one mantra.this looks very very simple but its effects are very very very large (even ALBERT EINSTEIN would not had imagine it !!!!!!!!!). this is called 'CHUP SADHANA' & i learned it from 'param pujya ASARAMJI bapu'.---->"www.asharam.org "

Answer 7

Chill, you did your best and that is all anyone can ask of you!

Ok if you don't get the results that you hoped for it is not the end of the world, you are young and can re-take if you want......Even if you do get the results that you are looking for, don't take this emotional guilt of having to succeed for others to uni..........if you are interested in a subject it will come easy to you, if you are doing it for others, ie parents......you will never accomplish anything, nothing will be  enough for them.

Have a think about who really wants you to achieve more, you or your parents.

I privately education my daughter for 11yrs, she went to college for a yr under dergess, and obtained 2 U's! But she is alive and happy and that's all that matters to me, she will learn what she needs to when she needs too. She is a well balanced person and that makes me happy.

Good luck, tell your parents to chill out! x*x
