Dealing with Stress and Exam Anxiety
The Red Seal Exam is an important step to getting your Red Seal endorsement. It is normal to have some anxiety and stress before or during your exam. Here are some tips to help you manage:
Plan your time! Allow yourself enough time to learn and study before your exam.
Schedule your study time! Use a paper or an electronic calendar to devote specific time to studying each week leading up to your exam.
Breathe! Calm and deep breathing may help you to refocus and to find the answers more easily.
Talk positively to yourself! Remind yourself of why you are taking the exam. Remember the time and effort you have put into your training and exam preparation.
Fill your mind with positive images: Your last vacation, your favourite activity, someone who helps you to feel grounded. Once you feel more calm, return to your studies.
Look for tools that reduce stress through mindfulness and meditation. Many apps, podcasts and videos are freely available on mobile devices and online.
Physical activity helps to deal with stressful situations like exams. Enough rest and proper nutrition are also key to dealing with anxiety.
Make sure you know exactly where and when the exam will take place. Plan ahead and allow yourself plenty of time to get there.
You may also consult a specialist to help you manage anxiety and stress.
Know the Rules for the Exam Room
Here are some general rules that you should know in advance. There might be specific rules that apply in your province or territory.
You must:
Not cheat. This will result in expulsion from the exam session and other penalties.
Not copy any exam information or leave with any exam material. Any attempts to share, reproduce or leave with any exam information will result in expulsion from the exam session and other penalties.
Not bring any materials into the room.
Place all items required during the exam on the desk. Accessing personal items, including reaching into pockets is not permitted during the exam.
Remove all outerwear (e.g.: jackets, hats, hoodies) during the exam.
Not bring backpacks, purses or pouches to the exam.
Not bring any electronic device in the exam room. These include but are not limited to: picture, video, voice recording and transmitting devices, calculators (if you need one, it will be provided), cell phones, tablets, media players, watches, headsets, cameras, microphones.
Have all other items approved by the examiner before bringing them into the exam room (water, food, etc.).
Use only the pencils, erasers, calculators and scrap paper provided.
Not communicate with or disrupt other candidates.
Ask the examiner for approval to leave the exam room.
Return all materials provided to the examiner after completion.
Not attempt to open any computer applications during the exam (programs, websites, etc.).
Not look at another candidate’s exam materials.
Some Final Tips for Writing Multiple-Choice Exams
Read each question carefully and completely. Do not assume you know what the question is asking after you’ve read only part of it.
Process the question you read. Look for the key words that will trigger the thought process.
Manage your time. Divide the time allowed by the number of questions on the exam to gauge how much time per question you have. Some questions will not take you nearly that long, and others may take a bit longer. At the halfway point, check if you have completed half of the exam, and adjust your pace accordingly.
Separate long questions into smaller parts to make them easier to understand.
Read (process) what the question is asking. Think of the answer based on your experience, preparation and training. Find the answer from the list of options.
As you read all the options, take note of those you know are wrong to narrow your options.
If you are answering a question that involves calculation, estimate what the correct answer is first. Once you calculate the answer, you can decide whether it seems right.
Draw a diagram or jot down a formula if it helps answer a question.
If you don’t know the answer, jot down the question number, move on and come back later. It’s better to finish the easier questions first and come back to the more difficult ones later. (Each exam question is worth with the same, no matter if it is easy or difficult.)
Answer all questions, even if you have to guess. You have at least a 25% chance of guessing correctly. Do not leave any question unanswered.
If you still have some time after answering all questions, take some time to review everything and make sure your responses are marked on the correct line.
