Exam stress can start when you feel you can't cope with revision, or if you feel pressure from your school or family. You might be worried you’re going to fail or that you won't get the grades you need for the course or job you want. Talking to someone you trust like a friend, teacher or family member could help. They might not be aware of how their attitude towards your exams is putting pressure on you. Talking about how you're feeling can reduce the pressure and help you to feel more in control. Take a look at the study help message boards to get advice from other young people who may be in the same situation.
