Anyone got tips in dealing with anxiety/stress right before an exam? Got my 6 hour cooking exam tomorrow and I am so anxious and nervous about it, and it's making me stress out... my GCSEs didn't make me anxious as much...
Thread moved by mdport. (Forum Super Moderator) from 'Discuss Anything' as I feel it's more suited here.
I couldn't help with anything specific to practical exams as I only ever do essays but I can say that taking deep breaths and quietly going over positive thoughts in my head has always worked for me. I used to get extremely nervous about exams to the point where I used to feel physically sick before them.
But now I don't get nervous at all because the one thing that really helps me is the thought that the results of my exams are not up to chance. I know that I've worked hard all year and have done my revision well so there's no reason to think I'd fail.
Good luck all the same :)
won't your food burn after 6 hours of cooking?
you could always smoke a joint, I know its not everyones thing but it will proper relax you, and you'll get munches so you will wanna cook damn good food to eat!

Any type of anxiety can be overcome with a rational thought process that acknowledges that if something is beyond your full control then worrying serves no purpose. You know how what you're doing so just have a good time and make some awesome food. Good luck!
Good thoughts, try to chill out a bit but maybe try to take your mind off it all for a bit so like, drink a hot chocolate and watch something.
To be honest this is what I did but didn't work for me rip :/
