The Leaving Cert kicks off tomorrow and thousands of students all over the country are feeling apprehensive ahead of their first exams.
Make time for wellness "Make time for exercise and relaxation. You need to build in breaks during the days, and have some chill out time away from the books. Choose a positive distraction like going for a walk, going for a run, meeting up with friends . That mental break helps us to move away from the stress a little bit."
Avoid the urge to cram Planning is very important, and students need to identify exactly what they are going to study throughout the exam weeks. "The exams can be a very isolating experience, but keeping that sense of connection over the next few weeks, especially if they are feeling very stressed or worried, its important to gain better perspective on these matters from a trusted adult."
