In a couple of months, year 13 and year 12 students will be sitting mocks as well as real exams. One year 12 student, Oliver Rickard, is going to be sitting his mocks in the month of July. Not only does this prove that students experience stress during these crucial times, but also factors (such as COVID-19 lockdowns) can really impact their stress and productivity levels. Moreover, to make pre-exam stress less of an issue/regular occurrence at exam time, there are some possible solutions. For example, peer support from parents/teachers would be a key factor to preventing student stress and helping them remain calm and focused.
