Managing Exam and Test Anxiety
Managing exam and test anxiety – It is common for pupils to feel anxious about any exams or tests that they have to do in school. There are a number of resources on the website that will be helpful to manage those nerves. Happy pupils with good regulation skills are likely to perform better. Please do explain that a little anxiety and stress is normal and it can actually help them perform better. Too much stress and anxiety will have the opposite effect.

Thank you for the Managing Exams and Test Anxiety resources. I was wondering if there could an option to have the different resources ( 9 of them) in a pack to allow for easy purchase ( so all in one bundle like you have with some other resources).
Thank you ever so much for the fabulous work you do!
2 of these are actually free and because they aren’t all specific to exams and tests there really isn’t enough to make a bundle worthwhile. Sorry about that.
