The last time you were in school you might’ve been sat in silence, scribbling down answers until you heard “pens down”.
This time, instead of handing in papers – you’ll be receiving them.
Last night’s sleep might’ve been rocky, and you might be feeling the nerves.
Here are a few things you can do to make the day run a bit smoother:
Open your results where you feel comfortable: if the thought of opening your results in front of others worries you, find a quiet space and open them elsewhere with a loved one.
Avoid comparison: each person has their own unique skillset, and we often perform better in different areas. Be sure to focus on your own grades and your next steps.
Take deep breaths: when you pick results up you don’t need to open them immediately, take a deep breath and take moments to pause.
Have support around you: teachers who have seen your work, friends, family and loved ones can all help celebrate and support you.
Make your schedule flexible: if you’re not quite sure how your results will turn out, having time to look at them could allow you to decide on the rest of the day – don’t put too much pressure on yourself to do anything specific today.
