Stressing About Results Day? 😰

If you’re part of my outgoing Year 11 students, I firstly want to say a massive GOOD LUCK for results day tomorrow. Pre-results day anxiety is HORRIBLE and it’s always helpful knowing exactly what you can do on Results Day tomorrow to make the day less daunting and scary!

✅Tip 1: Avoid endless social media scrolling

• TikTok and Snapchat will be full of people hyping up results day.

• Comparing yourself to them adds to stress.

• Put the phone away or download an app blocker to limit the chatter and noise if you can.

✅Tip 2: Do something that relaxes you

• Watch your favourite film, read, go for a walk, or hang out with friends and family.

• Distracting your brain keeps the anxiety from spiralling.

✅Tip 3: Talk it out

• Try not to spend the evening replaying every exam and worrying in your head.

• Share how you’re feeling with someone you trust — a parent, sibling, or friend.

• Often just saying “I’m nervous” makes it easier to handle.

✅Tip 4: Don’t panic — remember: you ALWAYS have options

• Most students often feel pessimistic and scared thinking – what if I don’t get the grades I want?

• You’re probably overthinking it and you did better than you think.

• BUT.. if you don’t get the results you want tomorrow, remember your life isn’t over! This is just a bump in the road! For example, if you have to consider resits, you can always get support – including my masterclasses which will be helping students on their resits between September & November!

✅Tip 5: Plan something positive for tomorrow, no matter the results

• Maybe meeting a friend, going out for lunch, or watching a film.

• That way, results day isn’t only about the envelope — there’s something good waiting for you too.

I am sure tomorrow will go amazingly well for you and if you are scared, worried, panicked – just shoot me a message as I’ll be checking my emails all day tomorrow! 😊
