The majority of us have to take exams at some point in our lives and will feel pressure not just from ourselves but from families and peers to do well.

​

It is normal to feel pressure in these situations, pressure just means that we don't want to fail and that we want to do well. Unfortunately, too much pressure in these situations will cause us to fail the exams that we are worried about failing. Stress makes our hippocampus shrink so our body can focus its energy on the stress response, this can be a problem in examinations because our hippocampus deals with our memories. Therefore if we go into exams stressed, our hippocampus shrinks making us forget what we have revised, at which point we stress more because we can't remember anything and our hippocampus shrinks even more.

​
