Hundred-year-old technique could ease exam stress
Monday 14th April 2008, 2:29PM BST.
STUDENTS could reduce stress in preparation for exams by prioritising their time, according to a teacher.
A century-old method of using relaxation techniques while revising for exams could help local students.
A UK initiative, known as the Alexander Technique, offers students advice on various ways to lesson anxiety.
Grammar School careers teacher John Lihou said students could help themselves with better organisation.
‘I have heard of the Alexander technique for revision but, unfortunately, the problem is that some students leave everything right to the end, which increases the amount of pressure,’ he said.
Mr Lihou said that the level of stress was increased when students put extra pressure on themselves to achieve top grades.
