EXAM PREP 

 

  • Believe in yourself and don’t worry excessively. 
  • Don’t try to be perfect. Aim to do your best but do recognize that none of us can be perfect all of the time. 
  • Take steps to overcome problems. Talk to your professor or ask your classmates if you have a question about the exam. 
  • Don’t keep things bottled up. Confiding in someone is a great way to alleviate stress and worry. 
  • Keep things in perspective. Interrupt negative thoughts with positive ones and actively challenge your irrational thoughts.   
  • Plan your study time with study sessions about 50 minutes long separated by 5 – 10-minute breaks.  
  • Try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Tiredness increases anxiety. Resilience is helped by: 
    • exercise 
    • positive thoughts 
    • healthy diet 
    • regular and adequate sleep  
  • Get accurate information about the exam date, time, and location as well as what you can/should take into the exam. 
  • Plan. Rest well the night before. Arrive at the exam location early.  
  • Avoid bad things. Give coffee and other stimulants a miss. Avoid other people or things that may disturb your self-confidence, focus and level of relaxation.

As the first land-grant institution established under the 1862 Morrill Act, we acknowledge that the state of Kansas is historically home to many Native nations, including the Kaw, Osage, and Pawnee, among others. Furthermore, Kansas is the current home to four federally recognized Native nations: The Prairie Band Potawatomie, the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas, the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska, and Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska.
