If you have a big test or an exam week coming up, you may be looking for ways to stay relaxed and increase your chances of doing well.

Really nice words. It helped me to pass the exam.
This was wonderfully helpful. I haven’t done my test yet, but I just know i am going to do absolutely amazing. Thank you god.
Thanks I faired my dance exam due to this.
I love these. Thank you!!! I took my nursing boards 3 times and the first two times, I was so anxious I couldn’t tell you what any of the questions were about. I found these 3 weeks before my 3rd attempt. Read it a few times a week and read it about a million times the day of my test along with the staying calm during the test section. As soon as I got my scratcg paper, I wrote “No test formed against me shall prosper.” Each time my heart started to face I stopped, closed my eyes and pictured these while shaking my hands and breathing it off.
Using this for my nursing school exams!
