Smorgasbord II: The exam stress & anxiety edition
My favourite practical tips for dealing with study and exam stress.
Welcome to my second smorgasbord installment.
As I wrote about last week, I am working on Cram Lab’s first downloadable study guide, which is taking a tonne of time, so for this month I am sharing smorgasbords of previous posts with my favourite study tips.
This is to allow me more time to work on the Exam Study Survival Kit, but also, my Archive is absolutely crammed full of study gold, so to save you trawling through previous posts, I’m laying them out here in the open.
This week I’ve collated some of my favourite posts on stress and anxiety.
It breaks my heart that teen stress and anxiety is by most measures at an all time high. Being a teen is hard enough without all the extra stresses being dumped on kids (screens, social media, etc etc).
However, I think there are simple and practical things you can help your teen with to de-stress and cope with study and exam stress a lot better.
These are practical study techniques that worked for me, and I hope they will work for your teen as well.
Is stress a big player in your teen’s school life? Is it holding them back? Have you come across any techniques that help? Let’s talk it out in the comments, which I’ve opened up to everyone.
Thanks so much for reading.

P.S. Sharing my articles on social media is a massive help. If you’re enjoying my posts, please consider sharing far and wide. Let’s get as many teens as possible the study help they desperately need.
