Takeaways for Educators
- Designing Stress-Resistant Lessons: Incorporate mini-tests or practice quizzes throughout the term to desensitize learners to the idea of “big exams.”
- Encouraging Routine & Consistency: Emphasize the value of daily practice over “cramming,” making every class session count.
- Promoting Self-Care: Teach students that a good night’s sleep, a brief walk, or a healthy breakfast can significantly improve their test-day performance.
