Exams bring plenty of pressure, and it’s easy to slip into habits that feel like they help but often leave us more drained. The My Wellbeing Tool on OASIS offers quick, practical strategies that can help you feel relaxed during busy weeks.
Here are a few common exam myths and some healthier ways forward.
Myth 1: “I’ll get more done if I stay up all night.”
Do this instead: Rest helps you recharge and focus. Even short breaks or better sleep routines can make your study more effective. The My Wellbeing Tool can guide you to tips that balance study with rest.
Myth 2: “I don’t have time to take breaks.”
Do this instead: Non-stop study often leads to burnout. A two-minute reset or breathing exercise can improve your concentration. You’ll find quick reset activities in the My Wellbeing Tool that fit into your day.
Myth 3: “I just need more coffee to power through.”
Do this instead: Quick fixes don’t always sustain your focus. The My Wellbeing Tool suggests simple ways to support your energy that don’t rely on another cup.
It’s normal to feel stressed during exams but small, intentional steps can make a difference. The My Wellbeing Tool is designed to help you find those steps, whenever you need them.
