Sitting exams in your teens is a nerve-wracking time and for us parents, it’s tough too. One way of supporting your teen or tween with exam stress is to help them choose some exam affirmations which they can identify with.
Exam preparation is obviously key. However, when you’ve done all the revision you can and the nerves are still hitting, it’s helpful to think about how you might be able to manage them better. Self-belief and being able to walk into the examination room with a clear head are really important when it comes to ensuring a favourable outcome.
In addition to these affirmations for exam success, make sure you also take a look at my 32 Quotes on Winners Attitude to Motivate Kids to help your children get into a ‘winning’ mindset before their exams.
Also have a look at these 170 Affirmations for Growth Mindset and my affirmations for teens. They’ll have you covered.
Do Affirmations Work for Exams?
New neural pathways can be formed when we repeat affirmations. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change and adapt based on new information. Affirmations can act as that ‘new information’ and therefore create new and lasting beliefs.
Of course, success can be dependent upon the regularity by which we practice affirmations and how much we believe them. Reinforcement is key, as is choosing the exam affirmations which personally resonate the most.
These affirmations for exams can be written or printed out and stuck on your child’s wall, popped in their bag or kept in their pocket – or memorised. Help your teen pick their favourite one (or more) of the exam affirmations below:
