How to cope with exam results stress if you didn't get what you wanted


From: BBC


It's the time of year when exam results come out.


For many people it will be the happy end to months of hard work, but for some it won't be so positive.


If you didn't get the grades you were predicted or wanted, there's lots you can do.


Below are some tips on how to react to disappointing news.


There's also guidance on how to handle social media if your mates are all congratulating each other on Instagam and Snapchat.


Zoe Large is from Young Minds, a charity which deals with the wellbeing and mental health of children and teenagers.


Try to ignore the noise of results day


"It might look like everyone has done better than you, but there will be plenty of people who will be sitting quietly and thinking about their results.


"They won't be so loud, just like you.


"So, do keep calm, read through your results carefully and don't just look at one and respond strongly to that. Take in the bigger picture as well.


"If you feel disappointed, you can sit with that feeling for a while.


"And that's natural and that's OK. But do wrap it up and move on from it and forgive yourself.


Radio 1's Gemma Cairney and Dr Radha also have advice on what to do after your exams, whatever your grades.


Find someone to talk through your options with


"If your chosen pathway isn't now possible, find somebody to discuss your options with - like getting a re-mark or a retake or alternative courses, checking offers criteria if you're applying for universities.


"You can try to be honest and be upfront.


"What would really impress them is if you say, 'OK, I didn't get the results that I wanted and I can't deny I'm disappointed but now I've decided I'm going to do x and y instead.'"


Move on - they're just grades


"Never forget that they're just grades. In a few year's time they'll probably be long forgotten. So stay focused on the most important aspects of your life.


"Take time to relax and unwind from it all. I think we all need to remember that school is really important, but not at the cost of your mental health.


"Keep yourself around people that can allow you to relax but do ask for help if you need it. Everyone does need help from time to time."


Don't share your results news with everyone


"We share details about our results and our personal feelings about them. Then we're sat there with the pressure of negativity and comparisons on social media.


"Whatever the outcome, we'd advise that people be mindful of what you choose to post on social media on results day.


"Think carefully about how much you want to share.


"If you're disappointed with your results, maybe take a step back. Try to ignore celebratory status updates from your friends.


"If you are elated, on the other hand, think carefully about how other people will feel when you share your good news online."

mate、 charity、 wrap sth up、 alternative、 criterion、 upfront、 unwind、 negativity、 post、 elated


- Generated By ChatGPT -

Mark and Sarah were mates since college. They decided to set up a charity to help children with disabilities. After months of planning, they wrapped up the fundraising event with an auction, raising a lot of money. The two friends were elated, and Sarah suggested an alternative for their next fundraiser: a fun run. Mark agreed, but only if the participants met the criterion of raising a certain amount of money upfront. After the event, the friends decided to unwind with a picnic in the park, but Sarah couldn't shake off the negativity she felt towards a post she read online. Mark reminded her to focus on the positive impact they had made, and they both left feeling uplifted.
