THE PROBLEM
Teenagers and college students are under increasing study and exam pressure.
It is common for pupils to latch on to their weaknesses rather than their talents and strengths and young people can easily be discouraged by negative criticism
Whether the student is at school, university or perhaps studying a new skill for their profession, it can be a stressful time. Many face concerns over the fear of failure or not being able to remember what they have learned and apply it on the day of their exams.
For some it isn't just the anxiety or 'nerves' at the time of the exam but very often it begins weeks or months ahead. They feel that while they are quite confident in the subject they are being tested at any other time, their "nerves" will cause them to "let themselves down" on the day of the exam.
Many students struggle unnecessarily with their focus and attention during the lead up to exams due to excessive tension and lack of self-belief. While a certain amount of anxiety is natural around exam time, for some students it is crippling and very damaging.
And, let's face it, with competition at an all time high for slots at universities and honor programs, the students know they have a lot riding on exam time.
Despite these pressures, students can learn to overcome their anxiety, grow in confidence to retain and recall while feeling more comfortable in exam conditions. This involves the teaching of simple, concentrated, techniques which allow students to take control of their emotional state and remain focused and confident while being tested.
Exam Performance Mastery teaches students simple coping strategies that they can utilize to reduce their anxiety levels and perform at their very best.
All of this leads to much better academic performance and far greater emotional well being for the student.
