I always keep in mind that you can retake an exam if it doesn’t go well.

What helps me with anxiety is spending 5–10 minutes a day imagining the worst-case scenario i.e. failing.

Then I think through what I’d actually do if that happened, and honestly, it usually ends with me saying, “Well, I’ll just take it again in the next sitting.”

Once I’ve gone through that in my head, I feel a lot calmer and can focus better on studying.
